He was my pick for Norm Smith. I think he hit about five (Brisbane) players on the chest in the first quarter. I think I got sucked into the hype.Blakey is a gun player, it's not his fault they lost.

I don't think he was great, not flogged but he certainly lost imo.Grundy is no longer that fantastic but people saying he was flogged yesterday are having a laugh.
If we were going from todays take it’s Nick Blakeyfor sure. He is a shocking 1 on 1 defender and too unfit/lazy to play in a wing.PLAYERCARDSTART22Nick Blakey

Think he needs to get fitter and move to a wing. Come finals time, he isn’t a defenders butthole

he always gets good stats but you gotta watch him closely.
even Daniher pushed him off in a ruck contest. who is a pinch hitter.
They had the two highest disposals in the 2017 grand final yet Adelaide were well beatenReally don’t know how they ever got games let alone someone rated them. I am sure when you go though stats of best games ever games by midfielders, their ‘opponent’ that day were one of the Crouch brothers.
That's because AND ever since Adelaide rely heavily on a few players who deliver low key disposals and they're unwilling to invest time into the youth with the exception of Soligo.They had the two highest disposals in the 2017 grand final yet Adelaide were well beaten
TBH I just looked at the stats and was surprised with Brodies possessions and hit outs, I just assumed with the complete dominance Brisbane hit out centre bounces that Brodie must have been terrible..
Neale still for mine
Its what he did with it. He infringed against Fort all day and was only pinged once. And when he won the ball he didnt do a lot with it.
Fort was every bit as good as Grundy and did more than enough to let Brisbane's midfield dominate and the Swans midfield to atruggle.
Grndy should have destroyed Fort but didnt come close to it.
^Username is perfect for this threadErrol Gulden. I honestly don’t get the hype.
You don't get exposed too much with ruck losses IF your backup ruck has a good tank at a minimum, the bonuses come with forward versatility and versatility around the ground.Its what he did with it.

He had a shocker consistent with the overall team effort. I did doubt him early but he is a very talented player. As an opposition player the biggest fear is giving him space because his left foot can hit targets with precision inside 50. A big part of Sydney's success this season relied on him and Heeney delivering inside 50.Errol Gulden. I honestly don’t get the hype.
And moments like that will happen. Daniher at one point also grabbed a ball out of the ruck with no one laying a finger on him, inexplicably tried to shrug a tackle that wasn’t being made on him, then to complete the farce, took an air swing with his attempted kick.
Grundy comfortably won the hitouts across the game, Sydney actually matched Brisbane for clearances and centre clearances etc.
That’s not to say he had any impact on the match he obviously didn’t but a guy with 28 hit outs and 18 contested possessions is the least of yours concerns on a day where you have 30-odd tackles to three quarter time
