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.

    We are managing playing against the wind, much better this quarter.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
