Didn't hear it but it sounds like he is talking about the Dees with a few things happening with that club also ie: Weideman and Schache.

Ruck depth Gawn

Grundy has kicked 60 goals 55 from 177 games with a conversion rate of 52.2% Max has kicked 88 goals 79 from 181 games with aconversion rate of 52.7% I don't have the minutes up forward stats but I'm willing to bet the house Max has spent more time up forward. * These stats do not include complete misses.

The other side of the coin.

I have not seen a further update and I hope he was given a full medical by the Demons (or preferably from the Richmond Doctor).

GRUNDY’S MANAGER BREAKS SILENCE ON TRADE Brodie Grundy’s manager has admitted the star big man saw the writing on the wall of his exit from Collingwood with several other ruckmen on the list on cheaper deals. Grundy on Tuesday was traded from the Magpies to the Demons in exchange for Pick 27 despite having five years to run on a lucrative $7 million, seven-year contract signed at the end of 2019, with Collingwood still contributing towards the big-money deal. After the trade Grundy in a heartfelt statement said he’d always hoped to be a Magpie for life, but conceded it was “time to dream a different dream” at Melbourne. But the 28-year old’s manager Robbie D’Orazio suggested Magpies footy boss Graham Wright was still moulding the list and recalibrating the salary cap under his leadership, having only stepped into the role at the start of 2021. “To Graham’s credit he came into a new regime two years ago. I like when list managers come in and don’t suddenly go through a cleanout straight away in what they’ve taken on,” D’Orazio said on AFL Trade Radio. “We all know (Grundy’s) long-term deal and the footy he missed this year – that played a big part – they won a lot of games without him. “In the end he (Wright) had three ruckmen on (Collingwood’s) list and they were paying (Grundy) a lot of money ... and the one who probably helped their salary cap the most (if they left) was Grundy. “He’s really excited to get to the Melbourne footy club. While I said yesterday he wasn’t jumping for joy when the trade went through – there was a bit of sadness in there – he wakes up this morning a Melbourne footy player and he’s excited to get to work.” D’Orazio added that Grundy taking a pay cut to stay at Collingwood was “never discussed.” “List managers would like all players to take pay cuts if they went through their books at the end of each year because something might became available,” he said.

I think we’ll leave that until our Season 2023 Preview in February but by all means happy to read some early thoughts from our listeners.
