Many commentators have claimed knowledge of Grundy going to Port Adelaide.

Wasn't he from SA originally?

who then is our backup ruck ?

    We would have to bring an experienced one in to cover for a couple of years, until Verrall and FW are ready.

    Grundy is not sticking around to be back up. 

    Max and the FD need to have a discussion in early October about whether Max wants to play for 2 more years or until one his knees goes, or whether Max wants to have some discipline applied and turn into a FP that rucks for a third of the game.

    If that is too hard and Max was just humouring everyone last October then pay $200k for Port to take him and go and get a 22 year old lump from somewhere.

    Ok then. What Brodie wants would be immaterial?

    Brodie has been informing you of what he wants has he?

    No, but he left his previous club in large part because he didn’t want to be a back up. So I can guess. You don’t seem to care.

    I'm not sure that was the case. He was pushed out the door and didn't want to go at all.

    Why would we pay Port to take Grundy if we want to keep him and he requests a trade? Why does everyone keep talking about his existing contract in relation to this scenario? Am I missing something?

    How do you two think he was ‘pushed’?? He was told he wouldn’t play.

    To help pay his $650k that we owe.

    They needed his salary cap, the same reason they got rid of Treloar. If you want to keep going with this move to the Brodie Grundy thread.

    Some in the media seem to have made a case that if Grundy were to go to another club, then Collingwood would be absolved if their obligation to pay a portion of his salary. I can’t see how this is correct. It’s a terrible clause to allow to be written into the contract, if that is the case. Bordering on a sackable offence. The implication being that we’d then need to negotiate paying a portion of Grundy’s full salary just to move him.

    As unlikely as it is, if it is in fact somehow true, this would make us much more unlikely to agree to a move away.

    Dont know, Kent. But i highly doubt Grundy wants to remain a back up ruck. Hence why he's now a Casey forward 

    I remember thinking Preuss could be our long term back up ruck, but he too seemed to want the no 1 job. Not that Preuss and Grundy are of equal standing, but IMO a past AA ruck on ~$1mill won't be happy as a back up ruck

    We'll know soon after we win our 14th🏆 in a couple of months!

    Back on track to Harley Reid. Up till now, I wasn't in favour of selling the house to get him but after today when North's midfield brigade gave us a scare for a half I would be all for getting him. Harmes, battles but is slipping backwards and Jordon is too one-paced. We need another class midfielder. North have Thomas who showed he can play, Uniake, Simpkin, with Wardlaw and George along with whoever they get this season. They will fill their midfield with class. Max, Clarrie Viney and Trac are hard but not good finishers.

    Shut down of what, the garbage coming out of the media and any fool that believes it.

    Go to the Brodie Grundy thread if you want to reply.

    Bit like when he was shutting down everyone late last year who dared to question Jackson potentially going home.

    North may grab him, according to Peter Bell{ not sure if that is reliable] Reid has definately told the Eagles not to draft him.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
