How well is Grundy playing at the moment

Great to see

Freo to miss the 8 I think

You'd have to wonder if Hayden McLean might want to move for more opportunity. Was beginning to show something and then has gradually gone backwards ever since Grundy came to the Swans.

Durham & Merrett...

A good run with injury is what they don't have.

Really good players both, and more than accumulators, but not game changers. Petracca, DeGoey, Dusty, Fyffe, Rankine, Charlie Cameron. Players who can change the momentum of a game, or even the outcome. The Bummers need one desperately and haven't had one in years. Caddy might be one in 2 years.

Not saying we are experts of AFL recruitment but we called out George Stevens multiple times in the 2023 draft thread. He impressed in the under 18s league and for Vic country. Strong and skilled mid. In fact he dominated many under 18 games. Somehow he dropped in the draft to pick 58 and was picked up by the Cats. Ffs. A steal, daylight robbery. He showed that on the weekend.

As predicted Ed Richards not cited for his elbow fend off that concussed Norths LDV on Thursday night and now free to play. Not even a fine. The advantages of being in the mix for the Brownlow and a “good bloke”. Imagine if Kozzie Pickett did this. 4 weeks easily.
