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.

    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 ??

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
