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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
