    recruiting him for a second rounder or trading him out for second rounder. what’s your specific issue?

    clearly he didn’t work as a fwd and clearly we already have the best ruck in the league. 

    I personally thought he was worth the risk with very limited fwd options to trade in

    Or just keep him on the list to stop a contender from having an awesome ruck? Wasn't costing us a fortune...

    no point keeping him on the list when neither he or Max could play forward.

    if you want to be critical then have a pop at the club for trading him in. Trading him out was the right thing to do.

    If he is the recruit of the year then more power to the Swans. The guy is 2 x AA, more than handy.

    Why is it a big indictment on us?

    Because it is Pot The Club Week and nothing is exempt.

    Collingwood signed him to a 10 year deal and mis-counted the money and had to ship him out for almost nothing with 5 years to go

    you think anyone would come to us if we keep players against their will?

    can we be real?

    Don't be effing ridiculous. 

    As for your original post: how many times does it need to be said?- he is a good ruckman when, and only when, he is the main man. The same is true of Gawn. And the idea of keeping him at Casey just so he didn't  go elsewhere: that is a really generous, good-culture thing to  do - not!  Not even Collingwood descended to that. Do you want us to be lower than them?

    Because it is a waste of Max. He is capable of taking a big mark in the forward line occasionally, and if he is 50+ metres out he might kick the goal, but he is a key player as a ruckman  - his tap work, his goal-saving marks in defence, his marking between half back and wing as we come out of defence - these are all the work of s ruckman. Oh, and I forgot the clearances where he kicks it out of the centre himself. 
     

    Which is why he has been 6 times AA ruckman.

    No it wasn't

    Just [censored] off we couldn’t get him on the park whatever the role during the finals last season. Why did it come to why he could not play? Cost us big time.

    Not to Sydney it wasn’t.

    We should have traded him to a lowly Club if he was unhappy.

    There must be some responsibility in a signature when signing a 4 year contract

    What would you do with Grundy if he was still with us?

    Play him as main Ruck and play Max full forward with Kossy at his heels and clear the forward 50

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
