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.

    I'm seen him play a few really good games for GWS. good option imo.

    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.

    How about Same Hayes part of a deal for Grundy?

    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…

    They dont have a ruckman, We have the greatest of the last 15 years. 

    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 ??

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
