Could you please ask Brodie at what age he realised that becoming a professional player was a strong possibility and, on a related note, what does he think he’d be doing if his AFL career hadn’t panned out?

 …….. and aligned to Moe’s question, how does Brodie rate the ‘culture’ at Melbourne.   No need to ask him how it compares with C’wood (I think we probably know the answer to that!) but I’d every interested to hear his views on our culture, and any insights as to how he was ‘inducted’ to the Melbourne ‘way’.

As a secondary question, how does he perceive the difference in fan cultures between the two clubs?

Great podcast by the way.

 
  • Demonland changed the title to PODCAST: Brodie Grundy Interview

Pleasing to hear that he was talking about 3 to 5 year forward timeframe. GO DEES!!

Great interview Andy. Pretty cool dude.

He said fellas a few time - was he referring to you AND your posting name (aka Demonland)

I thought you were just sitting in the background, waiting for the game plan chat 😂

Great interview. What a calm and collected chap. Thanks Andy (fellas), Brodie and the MFC

 

Loved the interview Andy.  Great get, and perfect timing for our kick-off into season 2023.  Go Dees!

I think he might have been told that the guys from the Demonland Podcast were interviewing him so he probably assumed that there was someone else on the line too. When more than one of us are interviewing someone I will make sure that the interviewee can hear the other hosts and introduce them. 

The best interview moment was when the great Allen Jakovich kept getting me and grapeviney mixed up. 

Well done on the excellent interview done with new Melbourne recruit Brodie Grundy, @Demonland it is greatly appreciated! 😊👍🏻

 

Hopefully, you might get a chance to get Mark "Choco" Williams in for an interview sometime? That would be awesome too!

Does he agree top of the Ponsford is the best spot to watch footy at the g?

He would but not if we are playing in W,A. at that time.

I’m sure I heard a magpie chortling in the background at times during the interview (true!).  Several interpretations can be placed on this phenomenon, but lMO it was giving  Collingwood the ‘bird’ for letting Brodie go.


Only fault with the interview was that we didn't find out what his nickname at the Dees is. I'll take it upon myself and call him Norm. 🔮

Thanks Demonland and Brodie Grundy great interview and noticed that you were able to fit a lot of the questions in and get honest answers from Brodie. Max downplayed his role in getting Grundy across to the Dees but Brodie has mentioned Max’s influence in his last two interviews and how impressed he was that Max was in the Room. There’s a lot to like about Brodie Grundy and we are indeed fortunate that he chose us and I love Bruce’s dance moves above. Lol.!!!!

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
