Yeah sure. 3 goals and not much else is ok and passable for a 2nd ruck on $350k a year. Melbourne are not paying him $350k a year.
Simple fact is Grundy was moved on because he was over paid for a ruckman no matter how good his best footy was. And if his performance today is his benchmark this year, then Melbourne are still over paying him.
I agree with us he was overpaid. Melbourne are paying less than his market worth at the moment though.
3 goals for a ruck on $350k? if Cameron kicked 3 goals in a game playing ruck we’d be over the moon.
The Grundy discussion has been mired forever in black and white thinking - and not of the good kind. Black/white … good/bad …. This is what psychotherapists call splitting and it’s also known as cognitive distortion. I.e., people are in fantasy land.
we should just try to be balanced. Grundy and Gawn looked like a powerful setup. Grundy played well and kicked 3 goals which is as good as a ruck can do. He also didn’t dominate otherwise so he wasn’t devastating. Just a good game all round. Better then either of our rucks in our practice match but we knew he was a better player then them anyway, so no surprises. We got McStay and Mitchell who together we figure will be better for the team. Time will tell.
