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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
