It's pretty clear Brodie Grundy is off to greener AFL pastures in the trade period.

We need a ready made ruck replacement. Max will be 32 next season and can't be expected to ruck solo the whole season.

As suggested to me by @grazman, Matt Flynn is UFA at GWS this year, he won't cost us anything in draft picks, only salary and we just need to convince him to come across.

A true mature ruck-forward would be nice but they don't grow on trees.

    Flynn would be a perfect replacement for Grundy if he was willing and didn't require too much coin.

    But he might want to go to a club where he's more likely to play the No.1 ruck role as he's not really shown that he can be a danger when resting forward - aka Grundy.

    Mentioned this in the 'targets' thread but GWS surely can't afford to have three mature ruckmen, all capable of playing AFL on their books?

    With Flynn, I wonder given he's from southern NSW whether Melbourne life is for him? Otherwise it's welcome back Brayden Preuss!

    Flynn is the #2 option at GWS so i wouldn't think they let him go

    Preuss is either injured or suspended LOL

    He's an Unrestricted Free Agent out of contract, they can't stop him if he wants to go.  Just like us with JJ.

    would prefer lycett to hayes, better mark and harder to play against as a ruckman, hayes is more your pretty ruckman than ur brute force

    Still in the race, but I think the Eagles are heavy favourite which might be why we pick off Jamieson. Flynn probably a bit expensive.

    Preuss must be feeling the love after hearing that. 🤔😆

    I’m hoping Flynn goes to West Coast and Bailey Williams asks to go to the Dee Dee Demons…

    But he’s 32 next year. His time is limited but our window is not. West Coast are a decade off a flag.

    Do you think after 8 years on GWS list Flynn wants to leave to wait another 2 years to play regular senior football?

    Well there goes any deal for pick 1 if that happens, possibly.

    How does a Free agent affect pick 1 ??

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
