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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
