Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

[manicpie]

That's crazy. Is he really earning that much? We should spend some time dwelling on that.

i'm not usually a dweller, but one can't help watching his pathetic output and not dwell on it.

 

[whiskeytown]

20 possessions, 28 hit outs (most on ground), 8 tackles, 8 clearances, 5 inside 50s…

How many rucks in the league do more than this?

If Grundy was on 700k, this thread would be in hibernation…

If you want to focus on overpaid, underperforming players… then focus on WHE who signed a contract in early 2019 (after a very good 2018) and is probably on 300-400k for 13 touches a week… and offers as much physicality at the contest as floating shopping bag

I want to give you a 'like' for the bolded. Even corrected your careless 'a' omission and embellished a bit..

The highlighted is probably the best analogy I have read on BF.

I agree with your comment on Grundy.

I suspect that Brodie will ultimately agree to renegotiate his contract for lower money, especially if it’s standing between us and contending for a flag.

It’s not unheard of - Tom Scully did it at GWS.

About as likely as the club back-paying Grundy for 2018-2019 when his footy over-exceeded his contract.

 

[manicpie]

i'd swap Grundy for Coniglio

 

[gouki88]

Wish he'd focus on the ball rather than his opponent at centre bounces.
Wtf is he thinking jumping 5 minutes early.
Hopeless.

This has always really pissed me off about him. His ruck craft is straight up abominable sometimes when it comes to the physical side of it.

I don’t think Grundy would want to play trivial pursuit with you.

Nope He would be insisting on the Moors It’s moops

 

[Matrix10]

Way to support the team.

Just facts J. I hope he comes out of his 3 year slumber

 

[rand corp]

Better then 2nd half of last season

Agree Dave, just nowhere near his best football or even at a level where he should and needs to be

However, much of that is nullified by:

Marks: 0 that is a Ruckman took zero marks for a whole match
Critical Errors: 8
Frees against: 4
Goals: 0
Clangers: 8

He has great stats for a Ruckrover (excluding hitouts which in themselves may or may not contribute to the team) but his deficiencies are so glaring.

If he takes contested marks then great that will go a long way but should he continue not to trouble the marks stat scorer then we have a significant problem as he is not fulfilling the duty statement required of a first Ruck. I really hope he does but he does not have a history of doing so.

At times some of his hitouts in defence make me extremely nervous and he lacks a physical presence expected from a big man.

 

[Pie eyed]

I thought Grundy was good on Saturday.
Sometime I wonder which games you lot watched?

The 8 clangers dropped his disposal efficiency lower than normal (67% career average) and the 4 frees against are nullified by 4 frees for

Undeniably he is not what he was…. and has things to work on

But all round still a top 5 ruck good in the league for mine

I thought his ruckroving was fine, however a key selection criterion for a first ruck is to take marks. He didn’t trouble the stats sheet.
The backline were undermanned and he didn’t present in good spots in the backline often enough.

 

[gouki88]

i'd swap Grundy for Coniglio

LOL

I'd say he was solid. B+

But he's being paid to be an A-grader, so that's where the angst is coming from.

B- from me, though as a teacher I was probably a hard marker - more than fair though.

How many contested marks were taken by ruckmen across the whole AFL. Whole teams take about 10 per match.

Apparently, it’s not about how he played but how much he is paid.

 

[Pie eyed]

Apparently, it’s not about how he played but how much he is paid.

It's a pretty sad board the last couple of years.

In the 3rd quarter I saw 2010/2011 levels of enthusiasm, creativity and player enjoyment.

I don't really care about options on a footy forum, I loved what I saw.

If Grundy was on 700k we might still have Treloar.
Or have a shot at getting a free agent.
We cut Treloar because of lack of dollars.
And we haven’t been able, and will not be able to, go after a free agent in the foreseeable future.
As for your 28 hit out stat, can you refine this to “hit outs to advantage “? Because that’s the stat that we need.
