AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Agree Hopper is the type we need but might want to be sure on the injury. He hasn't exactly come back in ripping formThe Pies were crazy to offer Grundy such a long contract in the first place - Grundy is not Buddy - and Geelong would be well advised to think twice about taking on what remains of it. The law of entropy says things break down over time. It's hard to know when Conway will be AFL-ready, but It's not fanciful to think he could blooded next year.
Meanwhile Hopper or another good mid-fielder is patently our most pressing need.
Bruhn is a hard one. but I've just watched the Classic Cast of 94 Dogs/Cats final with Libber and Billy saying they never thought Brad Johnson (playing game 8) and various others would achieve what they eventually did achieve. The lesson is: you can't dismiss players too early. I write this as one who has made this mistake several times eg. when I first saw Barry Stoneham play I said to a mate he'll never make it!
It's debatable who the primary ruck really is. Last time they played together Blitz was in more ruck contests than StanleyI reckon we’ve got the most perfect second ruck the game has seen…and it ain’t Stanley.
That wouldn’t be the the norm though. Possibly the most underrated player in my time watching Geelong Blicavs.It's debatable who the primary ruck really is. Last time they played together Blitz was in more ruck contests than Stanley

Yep so if we get Grundy all it does is push Stanley to the VFL unless someone is injuredI reckon we’ve got the most perfect second ruck the game has seen…and it ain’t Stanley.
I dunno, I think they're 50/50That wouldn’t be the the norm though. Possibly the most underrated player in my time watching Geelong Blicavs.
No current season stats available
Conway may make his debut next season but the kid is 3/4 years away from being a solid AFL playerThe Pies were crazy to offer Grundy such a long contract in the first place - Grundy is not Buddy - and Geelong would be well advised to think twice about taking on what remains of it.

Doesn't that go the same way for Giants with HopperGrundy is a 600k player. We shouldn't offer higher draft capital because Collingwood want him off the books
They are getting slaughtered in clearances every week , may be winning right now but not convinced its sustainable.Because they are 2nd on the ladder without an injured/massively overpaid Grundy (also with 5 years on that bogus contract).
Putting the bulk of the $$$ to upgrade a spot on their list that is needed or to keep players they prefer would be their thinking.
Grundy has proven to not be required.
Don't think the Giants want to lose HopperDoesn't that go the same way for Giants with Hopper
Tom de Koning dropped by Carlton this week….
Apart from his injuries and operations?Conway may make his debut next season but the kid is 3/4 years away from being a solid AFL player
Grundy is perfect IMO
Not sure where hes at to be honest, clearly behind Pittonet as a 1st choice Ruck who is only 26 and hasn't done near enough up forward to get a game along side Curnow,McKay and JSOS.Tom de Koning dropped by Carlton this week….
On the McIntosh Injury Baggage scale of 1 to 10 (1 = Hamish) where do you rate Grundy?Apart from his injuries and operations?

I'm fully expecting Wells to either upgrade using our 3 R3's or trade into next year.
Operations and early end to the year could be a blessingApart from his injuries and operations?
Hopper and Grundy both.
And we would need to exercise ultra scepticism when it comes to anything Grundy says to us, given his record as an "unreliable interviewee".

But they can't afford to keep him as wellDon't think the Giants want to lose Hopper
Grundy has met with Geelong. It's not a media beat up.
Not sure anyone know that for sure outside the club. Likely Victorian media adds some mayo. If they lose taranto you'd think that would help a lotBut they can't afford to keep him as well
