Surely Grundy on the move? Another second rounder to add to the deck.

 

Grundy will 100% be seeking a trade. The Sydney recruiter said they’d have a look if he was available. Expect Geelong and Port will also be interested.

Bit odd. 

I guess you have to be in the know tech wise and be a bit of a Seinfeld fan to get that one Bubs.

To clarify....

You and/or Red mentioned issues with uploading photos in terms of them being rejected as the file size was 'too big'

The solution is 'shrinking' the file size so that it will be accepted by the DL server.

The Seinfeld GIF is a famous one and refers to George having just gotten out of a pool and a young lady having walked in on him as he was changing

I'll let you make the connection!

I must confess ...aa an I.t. Engineer in a past life im fairly familiar with this stuff.

The Gif fikes by there nature are condensed.  I had tried  reducing their size ( graphically...and knock on...file size )

Made no difference.   The inference witg the error was to do with available space...

Somewhere there are permissions... for some theyre constraints... accidental or otherwise. 

If Grundy leaves (and I doubt it), who is our next in line ruck if Max goes down?

 

 

Anyone?...

Grundy is not going to hang around to play in the VFL in case Max gets injured.

No, but if we trade him, who's next? We need to be creative with support for Max, or it'll be JVR, Petty or (good God no!) BBB sacrificed as fill in ruck. Our development rucks at Casey are like baby giraffes!

Who do we target?

Might be able to fast track Verral & start blooding him slowly from about mid way through next season.

They will just recruit one, Max has 2 years left.  There are plenty of young rucks playing in the 2’s who would develop under Max

If you were in the Demonland Pub and loudly asked that question, you would be yelling ‘Anyone?’ over about 15 people telling you ‘we would go and get someone to backup Gawn who is less expensive and more comfortable playing less and/or playing more forward’

So meek posturing aside - if Grundy wants to go we will facilitate and that recalibration may make us a better team.

Am I the only one that thinks Grundy should be the #1 ruck with Max the extra tall in the forward line?

Have Max and Grundy rotating with each other 70/30split. Max stays fresh, Brodie gets his ruck spot. Simples.

Correct. It would also be poor budget management from us to spend over $600k on a backup ruckman who plays VFL. The Gawn and Grundy partnership doesn’t appear to be working, and it’s best for both Grundy and the Dees if he’s traded elsewhere now unfortunately. We can spend far less on a backup for Max until we have a proper successor.

Parish yet to re-sign and bombers waiving the white flag again.

Not suggesting we get him but if he leaves that's a potential first round compensation pick that will further dilute the draft pool.

Nope, those are my thoughts a well.


I was told in early July, from an insider, that Grundy will be at the Sydney Swans next year, in a 2-3 club mega deal. 
Of course things can change, but that was the planning as of then. 
 

very interesting to see what happens. I still think we may use Brodie in September….

Great idea but you are trying to reinvent what has basically failed. The greatest modern ruckman deserves to play where he is best for the team ie the RUCK. Only cameos up forward and also down back. JVR has done ok in the ruck and our team balance  is best that way.

it's unfortunate but we can't select a team for individuals. We are in the business of winning premierships and that is not negotiable. 

You and others will no doubt be unhappy if we don't do the team thing and allow Maxy to continue his great form which has resulted in 5 wins out of 6. 

Will Verrall, pick 14 2022, shows promising potential.

I trust Jason Taylor in finding a ruckman to replace/assist Max.

This was the original plan I believe. But the problem is that Gawn has no forward craft and is not a good converter. 
A lot of skeptics felt the combo wouldn’t work and to Goody’s credit, he swallowed his pride and abandoned it as soon as he realized it was a bust. 

Gawn will play for 2-3 more years which is way too long for Grundy to wait. Grundy will seek a trade and we’ll oblige. Maybe a second round pick comes our way. It happens. No hard feelings and move on IMO.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
