At least he will be able to have an intelligent conversation at Melbourne. Although Darcy Moore would have been alright to speak to

    Brodie Grundy is now a Dee
    Ned Guy's contract was all you hoped it would be
    But Fly and Wrighty, Fly and Wrighty couldn't guarantee
    That by Tuesday evening you would still a Magpie be

    What a force across the AFL for the next few years.  Gawn and Grundie, "The Gee Force" or "the Gee Dees" heading the 'awesome foursome', Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney. 

    The excitement is arising, 2021 reawakening

    Brodie is going to bring a different dynamic to the group. Jackson appeared to me like he was in no way a leader. Brodie will add weight to the leadership around the place and be automatically respected. Good fr the club.

    I'm so intrigued how this is going to work structure wise.

    Say both play 80% game time, obviously one would be in the ruck and the other spending time up forward.  Thats fine.

    I'm just thinking of how teams this year cut us up by going through the centre of the ground instead of down the line where we'd own the skies.  Does one of the Grawndy then setup behind the play as an intercept marker down the line with maybe May/Lever to go more in the centre as another interceptor?

    Grundy I remember is a great clearance player with good skills and grunt.  I can't remember many big, contested marks like what Maxy does.  

    So I'm thinking Grundy will be our main ruck with Gawn basically plugging a role down back when things are tight or having the ball bombed on that magnificent scone of his.

    Speaking of, I’ve just been on my Demon Army WhatsApp chat and I’m blushing like a mofo. First time ever it’s  been so racy. I’d even go so far as to say hot n steamy. Even the blokes are joining in. This is one of many, many examples of what’s causing such hormonal raucousness …

    Ok that’s one example. Here’s another…

    But this is the one causing all sorts…

    Personally, I’m a little meh. But if anyone’s got a few buckets of water or better still a fleet of firefighting hoses, they’re needed over on WhatsApp. STAT!

    Edit: update… phew. idk what happened there but things have returned to normal and now we’re back to talking about all things crepe paper and sticky tape.

    Five minutes of craziness has ended and DA folks back to their staid middle-aged selves. Thank god.

    Welcome to the MFC Mr Grundy. Once you have been cleansed of the filth I hope you and Max can provide a positive ruck combination that oppositions struggle against.

    Is Gawn and Grundy the best ruck duo ever?  The only other I can think of is Polly Farmer and Sam Newman.

    Strawberry odwyer and Stynes!

    Thought his statement was very lovely and spoke of a player deeply hurt by what went on at Collingwood. 

    No different to Treloar, he will have a point to prove and might finally help us beat Collingwood.

    Telling for what he doesn't say: no thank you to the club, coaches or staff.

    Good on him for being genuine.

    At least Brodie didn't tell everyone he'd been talking to Melb since mid year. As genuine a final message as they come.

    Grundy in the middle, gawn floating around back, petty up forward?

    And then for the kick ins - Gawn on the left flank. Grundy on the right. Players ready to smash it straight through the corridor after. Perfection.

    For some reason thinking of Gawn and Grundy reminded me of this deadly duo. Random I know

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
