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

Wasn't he from SA originally?

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
