RECRUIT OF THE YEAR! Serious questions need to be asked of the club...Stuff up of the year

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

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?

Hnmm so Why WHY would not have we gone with BG as the main man, with Max chop out and play MAX more forward???????

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
