Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

[Wearmouth]

I don't think we have to look too hard for Brodes. He's evidently taken up residence in your head.

Does my lease in yours allow me to build a second story roof top. I’d like a view into your rose garden…..

I feel like Soy Boy is like a fallen tree in a forest. Because he is no longer seen on socials…..Does he actually make a sound?

Is there really any need for the disrespectful name calling? The guy gave his heart and soul for the club, then was forced out, which has obviously caused him some form of distress. And, as a fan, this is the way you choose to refer to him?

Soy Boy is a term of endearment.

I don't see why we're even talking about him, he's dees scum now and I can't wait to see them lose their midfield dominance with a ruck that taps the ball to his feet.

He held the club to ransom and won then a far more shrewd and better team came in and said we don’t need people like you in our club.

It’s only good for a footy club that’s built a strong new culture to get rid of money hungry grubs like Grundy.

He was offered a ridiculous contract by the previous list manager & took what was offered.
He wasn't worth that deal then & he isn't now.
But for goodness sake move on. Why are some so bitter?

If my head is a house, you're a vague scratching at the door. No claims on me, I just open the door to a snivelling and Gollum-like creature wanting to slobber something about soy.

When I close the door, you cease to exist.

Your fixation on Brodie might take a bit more work to dispel, perhaps some professional intervention. Good luck.

Lol, he demanded the ridiculous contract.

Stop trying to spin this bullshit that Ned just walked up to Grundy and his manager and offered them $7 million out of the blue…

Agree, not the players fault. However he didnt live up to the new contract , thats where the spitefulness comes from, from supporters. Which in the end cost us some other players on our list

Does sound like something Ned would do..

I think Soy Boy is an apt nickname for Brodie. I rather like it.

Methinks, doth protest too much.……

Seems more like an itch you can’t scratch. Try some warm Soy milk. It might help……

I accidentally put So Good in my coffee once. The campaigner that named it So Good was full of shit.

Lol back at ya. I know this may shock you but any club can say no to a player manager. It isn't against the law.They didn't put a gun to our head.
We could have done that right there & then & they would have either backed down or pissed off somewhere else. We would have been well compensated then. Now we aren't. But ffs move on.

Didnt the Crows offer him a similar or even bigger deal? At the time it didn’t seem “too” bad.

They offered him plenty & Ned panicked & said where do I sign. I find it plausible that Ed perhaps handed him the pen.

Anyway, hopefully one day soon we are only paying players ON our list

Except Ned originally offered him just 3 years and Grundy said no way, it’s 7 years or I’ll leave.

Yes they can, but it’s this myth you and the few crazy people who still love Grundy trying to push that Grundy is an innocent victim in this and he shouldn’t be held account for not living up to the demands he made!

The club ****ed up and Grundy is a mercenary, that’s the facts.

From memory it was the length of the contract rather than the amount.

Also, from my understanding we are very lucky Melbourne came good on the deal. I believe his contract was ballooning out to $1.2m over the next few years, as he took less in the first couple.

I still think Grundy is a big loss and far more effective a ruckman than the other 2. However, the contract was too high and long. I was disappointed at the time given he was practically the face of Collingwood that he didn’t budge on his demands and looked for something more equitable for both club and himself.

But, happy to move on and respect he wanted to still be a Pie while we had a need to move his contract.

I think he is to kind calling him soy boy . Sour milk latte is more his go

In any forceable contract, it takes two parties to agree. Pies management didn’t have to agree to the terms hey

There are times in life when a good laugh is worth it’s weight in gold.

Kudos Pistol…..I’m still giggling as I type this response.

I'm not a Grundy fan. You just assume things because you like to judge everybody. It's what you do on a consistent basis. He was overpaid big time & his marking is poor.
The best thing we did is lose his contract after botching it in the first place. He & his manager were greedy & the club was at best bullied.
But I'm hoping we move on but a few (you included) like to just bash players. I guess it makes you feel superior.

That would be So Good.
