Hunt29

I heard several houses in he vicinity have collapsed due to the ferocity of this session.

I was more coming from a point of view that he wasn’t perhaps the answer to the ruck/forward option. He doesn’t even really play that role at Hawks.

Chol for me lacks a bit of competitiveness. It seems that way anyway. Maybe it’s just his relaxed approach. One thing though is for Hawks he isn’t rucking much. Weddle taking more ruck contests at times. Seems the type when the chips are down and the team is struggling he really struggles. Not sure he was the answer. But would be better than Fullarton that’s for sure.

I don’t want to play Hunter again. But he’s on 199. So perhaps they’ll get him 200 against the old mob. But maybe would have been announced by now?

Laurie would be stiff to miss. Played a good game last week.

The funny thing is that articles are being written saying basically Melbourne want him out. And we’ll pay $ and a pick to do so. Same articles tell us how good he will be at other clubs and who needs him more etc. He’ll be a demon in 2025.

Great reports everyone! Can’t wait for the start of the season!

I like the Schultz acquisition. However I think the media are overplaying it. I also think they slightly overpaid as a F1 was definitely enough. Although they’ll be happy to have got a player who can impact up forward immediately. And also we haven’t lost any best 22 players. Grundy is one of the better rucks in the league. However it didn’t work with Gawn. And with Grundy Jordon Harmes and Dunstan going we have certainly lost depth.

Sounding more positive for the club and Clarry to work through this. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/10/04/shape-up-or-ship-off-melbournes-ultimatum-for-clayton-oliver

It’s been always reported this is a seperate contract between Collingwood and Grundy. Don’t blame the pies for having a crack at getting out of it but they’ll end up paying him regardless. If somehow they’re off the hook you suspect Grundy will be taking a pay cut to leave us.

Well well well. Never mind the typo. I told ya so! I had a few doubters too.

Apparently we are also keen on Connor O’Sullivan. Not sure we’ll reach with a top 5 pick but no doubt if we get 2 x top 10 picks we’ll have him in the frame. I see he’s rated around pick 10.

Gold Coast have a few out so I would t rule out a north win.

Happy for them to go on if they believe they are up to it.

Any murmurs that one of Tmac or BBB take a deal to retire early? Both seem physically pretty much done.
