Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

[TheGreatGrundy]

I was being facetious. I once started a thread called ‘Grundy to Centre Half Forward.’ I was ridiculed for it. It is now the Grundy, Cox and Cameron thread.

You would still be ridiculed if the former title had been retained.

 

[Wearmouth]

Oh come on. Who took the Delorean comment down. That was some of my best work. Using the back to the future connection to disqualify even needing a crystal ball.

It was comedy gold……Gold Jerry..Gold.

Oh well there is always next week. Another where Grundy won’t be playing. He’ll be enjoying his chess game with other mates. While his team mates are killing the selves to finish as high as they can.

Hopefully he can find time to help his team mates with the finals campaign at least.

The only reason it was changed was because someone (I forget who) started to digress and write about another player in the Grundy to CHF thread. I then reminded them of the thread title. The following day, wollah, the thread title got changed.
I’ll credit myself for initiating the change thanks mate.
People had moved on and were already having Cox, Cameron & Grundy discussions, under the old thread title.

Look, we played today without Grundy and we lost.

QED.

Same logic you use. What do you say?

If only we had the money to recruit another clearance midfielder.

What’s really sad is you read the top 50 paid AFL players and see all the genuine match winners below Brodie on the list.

Would have been nice to have the big fella out there tonight

Yes, in 2019 form.

Grundy would’ve only added to frustration to the day!

Definitely one of your less offensive ones.

It’s very odd how much you hold Grundy’s injury against him

 

[manicpie]

The Grundog would have been handy today if fully fit. I still think you need as many experienced players as possible in finals, oh well

Definitely - but to Longmires frustration.

Brodie was one of the best players in the comp in 2017-19 and my fave pies player by far. He was a cheat code, it was almost like having an extra player at the contest at all times. What he provided in his role was unprecedented, winning stacks on his own contested ball, clearances and tackles while his opposition couldn't do anything but try nullify his influence. But those days are long gone now, for the past 3 years I've watched him barely able to jump, kick, or bend over without looking like he's carrying a military backpack and don't even get me started on his marking. I thought things might change for him with new a fitness staff and coaches but over the preseason and beginning of the season actual he was much the same, on the decline. Collingwood know he's physically cooked and if that wasn't obvious from watching him play just look at his current day physique, he's half the size from his prime and half the player.

According to Wade he’s been break personal bests in the Gym - so I think you’re a little off the mark.

I would take half that player he was , hence why he is been shown the door. Does not want to entertain taking a hair cut , as is his right , but his fake persona shines through, all about himself , if he was somewhat genuine , how about doing the right thing about your “ best” so called mate Treloar, bye bye Bubble boy. Give me a player who cares about the club. Aka Maynard.

That’s fair enough. On his day he was a match winner though. Question is whether he can get bqck to the best in the comp or not.

Which is where the frustration comes from, he hasn’t shown that form at all since he signed his lifetime contract. In 2020 it was blamed on Covid and bubble fatigue but 2 years later, still no signs.

At 29 you can’t really see a big man regaining what was his strength as most big men at his age just become useful for their size and a big target, yet that’s something he has never been any good at.

It’s why I feel he’s better off elsewhere and we use those funds to get in a bull midfielder we so desperately need, a 24 year old Taranto on 600-700k is better value. If we can off load Grundys entire contract and then pick up a cheap backup ruckman for a year or two it gives us that necessary depth to cover injuries and we’re a better side already.

No one will take Grundy’s whole contract. Also, he’s younger than Gawn. In fact, a lot of rucks go for years, like Goldstein At north.

I thought this might be of interest gouki88. I love this bloke. His clips are informative and genuinely thought provoking.

Different style of rucks. Grundy is an effort based Ruckman. He has been found out. Bash and crash into him early in the game and wear him down. And after half time he is cooked. That’s why he can’t impact the contests as much any longer. Mummy, Nankervis and Soldo. Worked that out. And worked him over every time they played. Yeah he won his fair share of the ball. But most of it was ineffectual. They just crushed his influence.

Guys like Goldstein, Gawn will always last longer as their game is more based on marking and playing holes. Whether forward or back. They don’t rely on just wrestling and going to ground.

When have you seen Grundy have 4/5 shots at goal. That’s what Gawn has been producing these past couple of years. And Goldstein has been doing that all his career. We laud Grundy for taking a couple of marks and kicking a goal. His hardly ever had a bag of goals. Like the other two.

I never said he wasn’t there, I only said they never seem to highlight him being there, which suggests he mightn’t be there. He does not appear to sit with other Collingwood officials.
...

Was Adams?

 

[JoinDate]

I haven't looked up at the sky yet today, therefore I assume it's not there.

 

[NMBB]

Was Adams?

I also wasn't there - I'm carrying a couple of age-related injuries. My wife has awarded me a new contract.
On the weekend I drove through the town
where Jack Crisp grew up.
None of this was reported in the media. I'm hurt and suing BF as an accomplice in this deliberate attempt to cancel my credibility.

No silver linings in the clouds over my head.

There were some lovely cloud formations in the Ovens Valley on the weekend. As I looked up at them and gazed intently into nature's artwork I could see several magical clearance set ups.
Hard to tell which was the best.

 

[Kirby]

Where does the saying "every cloud has a silver lining" come from?

If a could had a silver lining it would fall on your head!

Could you see a couple of big bodied mids and a KPP?
