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: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
