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

 

[Kiama Chris]

very likely a big reason he came up.

Heaps of connections without some of the baggage of the Melbourne crowd. Opportunity for further study if he wants. This will be a good environment for him and I suspect for Rachel too.

 

[Swansujelly]

Second he said that I knew that was what likely won him over as a "lifestyle factor".

making money is a good lifestyle..I've heard..

 

[caesar88]

He was a thoroughly engaging speaker in that interview Adnico26Parker posted.

He's obviously not been introduced to our PR team yet.

Now that's going to be an interesting dynamic!

How likable is this guy? He’s going to be one of my favorites I already know it. Quite funny, too.

The smirk at the end when he's talking about how excited he is with what he and Tay will bring Swans fans was gold.

 

[rustycrate]

Intelligent. Relaxed. Can laugh at himself. Quietly confident about his future. Chose Sydney over Port despite Port being close to home. Sydney was a better fit for his football according to him and his partner. Does not know many of the Swans players but thinks the synergy and playing with Tay will bring a smile to Swans supporters faces.
I like him already.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Will he be the only Swannie with a man bun ?

‘I needed to be playing AFL football’: Grundy ready to ruck in Sydney

After a difficult year with Melbourne, Brodie Grundy is ready to reclaim his reputation as one of the game’s premier ruckmen in Sydney.

Living the life in Bondi... wow what a fit

Good news, it's only three months and six days.

 

[caesar88]

Geez I wish I really valued ruckmen so I could feel the excitement about this everyone else seems to feel. Exciting still to have a big name choose us I guess and hope it rejuvenates a playing group that looked a little lifeless at times this season.

Just a taste of the article..........


LM:The one big question about the move: Has your mum gotten over your decision to choose Sydney over Adelaide?

BG: She’s pissed. She’s f***ing pissed. Honestly, family is a massive thing. My family is all still in Adelaide. And we were well-intentioned to have kids and set up our family there in Melbourne. When it became clear that wasn’t going to be an option, and that’s what I’m talking about these other aspects. It’s, ‘Okay, where do I want to play football?’.

I feel strongly about my alignment here at Sydney and that was a big enough push to want to come here. I told Mum and she was pretty direct in giving me that feedback. But she’s come around and now she’s sending me content on Sydney beaches and she’s loving it. She just wanted her not-so-little boy to come home. But yeah, that’s all good now.

Hope they've got a spare bedroom! Mum might discover that Sydney's a lot more fun than Adelaide! Good luck to them all.
When our youngest finished high school we said "cya" and moved overseas.

He mentions the spare bedroom in the article.

Less likely to get murdered and thrown into a barrel in Sydney, though you would need an awfully big barrel to fit Grundy.

 

[dirty2]

It will be interesting watching Grundy at Sydney next season... I personally hope he gets back or close to his best football next year.
