Experiment OVER! Either he Rucks or BUST

Well either that or Max needs to fulfil his side of the pitch to get Grundy, that is that Max plays mostly as a forward. However both are number one rucks so I never was a fan of the move in the first place, as Max just isn’t a forward.

    Hard to get a read on performances in very ordinary conditions.

    Pig been playing down back, had a few touches that quarter.

    Shack played a bit of ruck that quarter.

    Briefly spoke to T Mac at quarter time, said ankle feeling good and was out training this morning before the game.

    I asked if he’ll be back for finals and said hope so. He’s quite a big man up close.

    Dogga Brown here watching his son play, had a nice tackle on the wing that quarter. Needs to put on some bulk though which is understandable.

    I can't see how anyone can get a handle on Grundy's 'forward craft' or lack of it in these conditions.

    No BBB after half time will ascertain if he is on the bench

    Think I prefer Max as the number 1 ruckman.

    The Grundy experiment just won't work. Watching him right now at Casey he looks completely lost and his leading patterns is non existent.

    Feel for the guy because we all wanted it to work but no doubt he'll be at a new club next year as the number 1 ruckman.

    It’s pretty easy to gauge, don’t just look at stats, look at positioning, leading patterns etc. not rocket science to work out. He looks completely lost even from a non statistical point of view.

    Definitely looks lost. I actually feel a bit sorry for him, this wasn’t the pitch that was spun to him.

    The problem for me is Grundys marking or more specifically his lack of. He's simply just not a very good marker. His tap work is good and hes good at ground level but he won't be a good fwd with his hands. Max is a great mark and we need his marking around the ground.

    Jefferson with eyes on the footy and clean one grab mark. Impressive in the conditions.

    Converts the goal 15metres out from in front.

    Yeah I'm sorry but as much as I do think Grundy will feature at some point this is no longer nothing and the longer it goes on the more speculation there will be. The guy is not a forward and judging from this it would be quite some time before he is.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
