Grundy's had a bad run. An AA ruckman dropped by 2 clubs in consecutive years. i can understand why he has the [censored].

that said, a Gawn injury and he was straight back into a finals team so its a lack of professional not to maintain standards and be ready in case. 

Was AA BDA

Appears to have lost a fair bit of agility and leap he had prior to the injury. 

Suspect the Pies didn't just let him go for salary cap space.

from an HR perspective Exit interviews are held with terminating employees.

KPIs and performance interviews are and should be referenced constantly ( or not at all ) for individual purposes. 

As has been noted players probably get feedback relentlessly, how they respond needs to factored into the regularity or length etc.

Exit interviews by their very nature are more a review of the clubs practices. Why are you leaving, what makes alternative so attractive, what would you suggest we do to retain you, etc.

Ask everyone to take the pledge.

Heard it’s good for cleaning dirty surfaces.

Maybe change the terminology, although all clubs call it the same, there would be some very interesting exit interviews with players that have not been offered a contract extension. I remember that Riv said he was offered some great advice at his exit interview last year that had an impact on his performance this year. I would love to be a fly on the wall.!!


For those who think contracts mean you can’t get delisted, James Stewart, Lachie O’Brien and Jake Pasini have all been delisted, with a year to go on their contracts.

Yes they will be paid out in full, but are gone from their club.

What’s worse in Stewart’s case at the Bombers, is that he lost his father Craig Stewart this year, in very sad circumstances. Bombers showing their true culture and I hope his team mates are furious and that the Bombers bomb again.

Wonder if Michael Warner or Robbo will question the Bombers’ culture. Not holding my breath.

I was one who didn’t know this. Can players be delisted with anything more than one year left on their contract?

I’m interested as to how/why the AFLPA at some point allowed this.

They still get paid. They're just not on a list.  Not sure why this is a problem

 

They're being paid for nothing and can go to another club if they're good enough

Yes,and the club carries the cost in the next year's salary cap. I'm pretty sure it's not a decision taken lightly.

Fair enough. Initially it sounded worse than it actually is I guess. 

Although I reckon some players will feel aggrieved by not being part of a club environment or getting the chance to play and try to secure a new contract.

This is highly likely but I get why clubs do it.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
