as his football icon, will bolster a young side of ruckman in Lachlan McAndrew and Will Green.

DOB: 15/04/1994
Draft: 2012
Recruited From: Melbourne FC

 

[The Gong]

Jon Ralph on Fox Footy had Grundy getting paid about $900,000 a season with the Pies paying $250,000 of that for the next four years. Grundy at $650,000 a season is a hell of a deal I reckon.

Ironic because Anthony couldn't wait to trade that Swans jumper in for a Collingwood one

Could have been a premiership player. Oh well..

 

[sataris]

This is actually the signing I was dreaming about years ago.

So excited!

The original Judas

The original Judas

I find it odd Rocca still has his jumper to be honest.

 

[ashep]

Grundy seen training by himself in Melb last 48 hrs, running sessions etc Getting himself ready to make a good first impression with the Swans - I like it

One might look at this as the sign of a bloke who takes his footy seriously.

 

[BloodySwan]

So pumped to have Grundy at the Swans. Between injury and being played out of position it is easy to forget how good he can be, and if he can be half the player he was he'll be a huge asset to the club.

Looking forward to seeing him run out in the red and white

Must of hid it from his mother

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Fantastic to have it done after all the speculation, midfield is going to have quite a different look to it with Grundy and Adams in there. Really exciting times for the club.

agree, it might make a few others lift having them there.

*Must have

 

[Swansujelly]

great get. Instantly changes our midfield for the better. gonna back him in for a huge year, point to prove etc.

Kicking the winning goal from the centre square, thereby winning the norm smith, brownlow and premiership captain.

Kicking the winning goal from the centre square, thereby winning the norm smith, brownlow and premiership captain.

You forgot it being his 100th goal of the year after winning the coleman on 85 goals.

Yes. He averaged 5 goals over the 3 finals games. Including 10 in the GF.

Not the last - E. Gulden.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Wow .. So many wows last few days!

I'm always excited for the next season but don't remember being this pumped and optimistic going into a new season!
If the injury Gods can balance things up and shine on us after 2023* then look out comp!

*Injury Gods need to turn up to mad mondays too it seems

CHANGE YOUR BOOTS GRUNDY

 

[SSwans2011]

What I'm loving is how much he seems to have immediately bought into the club. Seems like he's got a real point to prove too.

Backing him to get back to his best next year. Was comfortably best on ground the first time we played Melbourne last year IMO.

Yeah I'm hoping his time at Melbourne has lit a real fire in him. At his best he's an absolute weapon, capable of rucking up touches, tackles & clearances in addition to his first class tap work.

Isn't it amazing what happens when you play a ruck, in the ruck!

 

[swanssince2002]

Probably our most exciting recruit since Buddy tbh. Arghhh have to wait 6 more months.

No doubt he’d spent much time “working on his forward craft”???
