Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

Well when he does a prelim Max Gawn every week then I'll call the contract justified. If he does that we'll be contending immediately until the end of his career with a few flags on the way.

To justify his contract he needs to help the team win clean possessions from stoppages, as well as contributing with his 20 touches a game. Adding more marks and goals to his game is also needed.
He is more than capable of that.
If you truly believe he needs to produce a Gawn prelim performance every game then we can stop discussing this now.
It’s a ludicrous position.

But that is the money he's on. Of course he'll never reach those heights yet we're paying him that money.

If you want to spend your time lamenting his contract then have fun.

This thread should be about discussing him as a player. Fortunately for all Collingwood fans, the coaches will be focused on helping Grundy reach his potential. If he does that, we win.

Yeah I was replying to a post about his contract, not the players ability.

FWIW, he has potential to be a generational ruckman.

To add this is a thread about the player, there are no rules that state I can't reply to conversation about his contract or anyone else for that matter.

So if you want to lament discussion around his contract then have fun.

I’ve had fun reading your criteria for a million dollar contract. Laughable.

Good for you.

 

[Markfs]

There's an argument that since he signed that contract, his performance has dropped a little..

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

i work within the AFL industry

And you don’t know that the pronoun ‘I’ or the first word in a sentence is capitalised.

 

[jmac70]

I noticed on their board someone mentioned their 1st round pick next year (say pick 15-17) and few later round swaps, with us paying a large chunk of Grundy's salary ($400kpa??). Absolute joke.

Apparently we’re a feeder club for the Doggies now.

We need to get out of Grundy's 6 year contract somehow.

No we don’t. We just need him to reach his potential.

Good to know you agree that he doesn't have the impact of a $1 million dollar a year player.

That's probably why he doesn't get paid $1m a year

 

[gouki88]

So in your fairyland, nobody is worth $1m a season? Because nobody has had a season of 19 disposals, 5 goals and 33 hitouts a game.

It's fairly obvious this poster doesn't actually know how to have fun

In part but I'm not sure if the hounds are hounded by the fans after they get the lure...

You could argue some underperforming greyhounds have suffered a worse fate than that…

well i'd hate to see grundy wind up in a can of pet food....but he hasnt responded from the fans giving him a hard time

And what is the figure then?

 

[Sea fog]

And what is the figure then?

It is said to be around 940-60k

So semantics when saying ‘BuT At LeAsT ItS NoT A MilLiOn’

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Again. It’s not as if we don’t know what he’s capable of.

He’s gone from an AA in a top 4 side to not even in the top 5 players in the second worst team in the league.

The problem is he’s got no motivation to play well ever again, he’s locked in for life on a contract well above his true worth.

He took the club to the cleaners and Ned Guy let it happen.

 

[sr36]

In an ideal world, what does Grundy need to be doing for him to be considered “worth his money”?

Get back to 2018/19 form and maintain it for the next 6 years.

you're an astute observer of the human condition.
