Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

[Dead Eye Didak]

Im just calling Brodes the "Decoy" this season, bc that's what he is for Gawn. Looks like Melbourne got Grundy, to make Gawn a more dominant player around the ground.

 

[NMBB]

hilarious if we don’t, we are paying him good money

If we do get clearances from his taps - who's paying for that clearance- us or Melbourne?

 

[manicpie]

Don't know what happened to him. Best ruckman in the game to very average since he signed that contract.

He should be the #1 in Australia now.

Me either I want a ruckman like Draper but

If we do get clearances from his taps - who's paying for that clearance- us or Melbourne?

I can only go by his last season with us and I would say we will be paying because, as he did with us, we will be sharking all his taps to his feet

I've been calling him a decoy for the last 3 years

Don’t know who this person is, seems to nail what the general consensus was though.

Brodie Grundy only has himself to blame for Collingwood exit - so why were the Pies the biggest losers?

During 2018 and 2019, Brodie Grundy had the AFL world at his fingertips. An athletic, dynamic ruckman that was more than just a tap…

Yep, he has been able to dictate the narrative in this whole messy episode. But if Melbourne fall away like they did last season, look out!!

Did you miss the weekend TV commentary where the usual suspects were eulogizing Grundy's ability to palm the ball from a contest to the hands of a teammate? When I tuned in after half time, the commentators were talking him up so much that I surmised that I must have missed a ruck display for the ages. Perhaps Grundy's connection with a football in a contested situation was akin to, say, Bob Dylan's to the perfect lyric when composing a song.. That's not what was said but rather what their words implied to me.

Then I come on here to see you blokes describing his performance as bog ordinary! Does the truth lie someone between or is Grundy not a great at all, just a figment formed from memory and imagination, living only in the heads of media performers paid to create excitement where it does not exist?

If he taps to his feet and we get the clearance then that is a cost to be allocated to the Melbourne Football Club

Update - been advised by a cost analyst that if Mitchell sharks Grundy's hit out then the cost is allocated to Hawthorn

I'll boo and sing songs about soy milk.

That'll cut the big man down to size.

If we get the right guy on board we could get paid direct by Melbourne and have Hawthorn issue us a credit note,

Hawthorne, Mitchell will have a field day

Compared to last year statistically, he is down in basically every category except for inside 50's, score involvements and goals (1 vs .6)

I watched the entire game, he was ordinary. Gawn on the other hand was an elite ruckmen. On the same coin mind you. More than justified our decision.

Been one game - so no valid data to compare - you might turn out to be right but nothing to conclude yet

Just as with McStay, it’ll take time for Grundy to become familiar in his new surrounds. I’ve got a few mates who are Dees supporters and they’re all very happy with his game judging by the texts I continually got.

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

Based on what I saw this past weekend, I'm pleased with the Mitchell for Grundy swap and anything else that transpires from the salary/draft outcomes - which I think there will be plenty - is a bonus!

Keep that to yourself

When I say mates, they’re people who live in Victoria who I loosely know through their support workers.

Dees getting absolutely slaughtered in clearances since Gawn went down and Grundy took over rucking.

Brisbane have always loved Grundys tap work

Halftime : Grundy 23 HO with Lions having 17 more clearances

 

[domus]

Brodie still handballing blindly to the opposition and wrestling at ruck contests before patting it down in the general direction of nobody in particular. A nice bloke but I do not miss him.

A nice back up for Gawn now he’s down, but it’s still a net negative position for Melbourne to be in.
