Who's he replacing first up? Weather wise it's leaning towards being a wet Thursday night game, so already I'm putting a line through his name. His last performance under slippery conditions against Carlton was sub par hence Goody dropped him the following week. I know Goody has said he's in the mix but to be honest I think that's his way of wanting to deflect from all the Grundy talk as he's obviously sick of it being brought up every week. Imo they'll choose McDonald and only way Grundy plays September is if Gawn is out injured.

Look, I was disappointed the moment we drafted him purely because I wasn't a fan of his draft highlights as he looked timid and lacked the physical competitiveness that Goody loves in players, so I was honestly shocked as well with this pick. But I was wrong about McVee last year at VFL level and thought he'd be delisted. So I'm super reluctant to write the kid off early. Based on my observations this year I haven't really been impressed that much. Hopefully a big pre season will change all that just like it did for McVee.

"We need to make Grundy work" Since when? Just because we made a sales pitch and it didn't work, doesn't mean we owe Grundy [censored]. A club doesn't owe a player anything.. ever. Players come and go but the footy club will always be there. That kind of poor mentality gets you no where. He could be the greatest bloke in the world for all I care but if Goody sees fit that he isn't in our best 22 for a premiership then I'm taking the coach over supporters who are caught up in romance in sport. He's not in our best 22 for a reason and I'll back the the premiership coach supports who purely want him in the side because he's a "good bloke."

Yeah nah he wasn't star

Overall a good performance from Casey for the year. Dropping the last 3 games didn't help our chances and some season ending injuries as well. Back bigger and better next year.

Fantastic contribution from these two.

With the amount of ruck talent running around in the country, it really does pains me to watch Kyah Farris-White attempt to play football.

Our VFL top ups are horrendous

Go watch your local footy if they're playing in the finals. No better atmosphere then finals at country footy level.

But he has every chance of being in the team.. All it does is create extra unnecessary noise because now the media will be banging on about it if he isn't selected. Goody hates talking about it every single week and so he should because his primary focus should will be on the 22 that will be playing.

I must admit I'm pretty disappointed that to hear that he's gone and met with a club right on the eve of finals and with a club that we're potentially contending against. I am all for players meeting up with clubs etc because that's the nature of the game and we've done it in the past ourselves. But it's about picking the appropriate time and space. Doing this while his current club is still contending and he's trying to break back into the team should br his absolute prime focus. All he had to do was respectfully wait after the finals series and advise Port that he would be fully focussing on thr job at hand and park any trade talk aside. You can tell Goody is sick of all the Grundy talk that comes up in his pressers. So what does this do now? Create more unnecessary noise. Hope we don't pick him for the rest of the year now.

We haven't told him he's done. Listen to Goody in his pressers and he's always saying how much of a required player he is and that he's still an integral part of our future. It's Grundy who doesn't feel the same hence why he's meeting with other clubs.

It's blown out now..

Hibberd is cooked. The last time he played on Jamie Elliot was last year round 21 and Elliot gave him a bath and kicked 4 goals on him. Love Hibberd, but he's lost his pace and would struggle to keep up with the quicker forwards. 33 year old who would get shown own under thr finals pressure cooker. I mean, no coincidence that Goody hasn't considered him much at all since he got beaten badly by Gary Rogan in his last full game. McVee will get the job and do the job just fine just like he's done all year on the dangerous forwards.

He's been playing under 18's for Dandenong Stringrays....

Clubs like him as does Melbourne and have conducted an interview with him. But lets remember they also conduct 50 other interviews with draft prospects around the country. Having spoken to his assistant coaches at Murray Bushrangers land, they're getting feedback that clubs inside top 10 are strongly considering Sully.

Yes it's absolutely unfair and plain silly comparing Watts to Schache. Watts was a clutch match winner in big games. Yes he had his weaknesses, but when it came to someone needing to stand up in big games, ball in hands Watts was the best of the lot. People have short memories.

Ben Brown to retire?

All points to Hawthorn which @Dannyz confirmed last week well before before got hold of that.

Look, whe it comes comes to performing on the big stage @daisycutter was no where to be seen so I had to pipe up. Lift your game Daisy ffs

We're officially a big club now ⭐️

No. I'd go a cheaper alternative and look at Nick Bryan from Essendon.
