they had about 3 months playing together did not work. And the last thing we need is to bring Grundy in as it takes our best player away from what he does best. Gawn will get us home tomorrow night

not at all. lower that to 188cm and you'd add a few. Clarry missed that list by hair Tall mids have been a priority and we have several talls injured

Lots of people predicting our demise and looking for someone to blame to cushion the blow if we lose I'd rather be positive

Gawn has been declared fit and is a beast who can battle through almost anything What makes you think he is not match fit? trust media gossip more than the club?

half a dozen people gave responded. clearly 2nd ruck isn’t high on the FDs list of what might help us win the game. Smith most likely. T Mac/Tommo at a pinch

Dixon back is huge maybe they could knock over the Pies

Blues have only brought one bloke in and two are out? must be the sub. who was their sub last week? anyone know

if we win i’m sure all though slamming the selections will heap praise upon Goody. 🙄

Hibbo can’t play multiple games. if his body was fine he would 100% be playing

reckon i’d trust a premiership coach’s logic over a footy forum

Good changes. Tommo in to let Lever get free Smith up fwd to join T Mac and Fritsch Cmon Demons!

great news!! Book your flight to Brisbane Gussy!!

Keep Hibbo on ice for the GF 🤪

A good get. From a look at the stats: Just turned 28yo, Only in the system for 4 years. Averages around 15 games and 24 goals a year. 2017 was playing div 2 SA league footy so a huge step up. I've noticed his marking and great leap. Hopefully he can have a Tyson Stengle type impact for us

Should be Sat as Pies get the extra day break for GF.

I'm hearing the name Schache waaaay to much for a finals thread he hasnt played a game for 3 weeks and in that game he was poor As much as I don't think Grundy fits our structure if its a call between him and Schache, thats an easy call. One is an AFL player, the other is not

good points, thanks GYM I still prefer to not play Grundy for the reasons I've stated but good to understand the thinking

i’ve yet to hear anyone state a decent case for bringing Grundy in aside from the 20% resting ruck duties what does he offer? zero fwd Tommo in for JVR. Smith fwd

JVR has been doing this as a first year kid. T Mac has done it and can again

can i just say your reasoned and articulate response is a breath of fresh air. you have not only clearly stated why Grundy should start but haven’t been tempted to undermine my stance. i stand in awe of your greater intellect

I would go with T Mac. He’s done it before, a little Not ideal but we have a first year kid doing it usually. Id personally rather we take a hit on an average 2nd ruck over carrying two first rucks

One line on the whiteboard DO IT FOR GUS Trac, Gawn and Viney will lead the boys to run through brick walls

The blues comments seem respectful and well reasoned compared to the magpie tools. not a high bar. but still

discussion point - it seems the vast majority want Grundy in for Friday. i would prefer a fwd line of T Mac, Fritsch and Smith. so to not diminish Gawns immense influence in the ruck. After months of Grundy and Gawn not working together and not impacting the score board can people please explain why Grundy should come in? Cheers 🙂 I do acknowledge if Gawn is properly injured that is a reason but assuming he is fine
