I could see Grundy smoking a spliff while sipping on a soy latte.

I would like to join him.

soy latte is so 2020, macchiato is where it’s at now.

You and I together brother. Perhaps almond latte like Nick has or more traditional type.

Still in Sri Lanka?
How is it/ was it?

I ordered the macchiato for many years. A fine brew

oh so you’re one of them, when I was in school working part time as a barista, there would always be one pretentious twat that would come in ordering one with the sole purpose of trying to trip you up.

It was unreal mate. Beautiful country and I've had the pleasure of going there twice now. Some of the loveliest food, beaches and people you'll ever meet.

Lots to do all over the country, worth spending enough time there to get around both the high country and the coast. Plenty of beers to be had too. I'd strongly recommend it if you get the chance to explore a bit more around asia from your base camp in Thailand.

Unfortunately I'm back freezing my chops off again in Melbourne now.

That was me brother. It felt Posh ordering one.
I still don't know the difference from a normal latte. I'll have to google it.

Sounds great

They raised Grundy to collingwood on footy classified lol

 

[Fat Jesus]

And there you have it..

Caffè macchiato, sometimes called espresso macchiato, is an espresso coffee drink with a small amount of milk, usually foamed. In Italian, macchiato means "stained" or "spotted", so the literal translation of caffè macchiato is "stained coffee" or "marked coffee".

Cornes did. He'd heard talk, apparently. Meaning he must read BF or comments on instagram. Lol. Why the hell would we want him? So he can tap the ball to his own feet again. No thanks.

I'd take him if Melbourne will pay 500k on his salary

I'm so thankful you're not Graham Wright.

I almost feel bad for Grundy. He was sold a vision that's now no longer true.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He's not stupid. Far from it.

What did he think would happen with 2 blokes who can only play ruck?

 

[Jen2310]

Yeah. The outside world couldn't imagine it happening, but they told him that Max was willing to play forward to extend his career. He has had a pretty injury prone history.
But both are alpha players, so was always gonna be hard.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Or he bought into a role he couldn’t fulfil.

Max is probably the only person who can answer "what the hell were you thinking?"

 

[3rdMan]

Don't think that's the issue. Gawn hasn't fulfilled his forward role.

 

[ZEV]

But they did just sign Pittonet for 4 years.

Carlton have been trying to run a corporate fundraiser with their Captain's club this year.

I was talking with three past captains, all premiership players and they were all staggered that they gave a four year contract to a guy thats never played more than 13 games in a season and 52 in 9 years.

 

[KinderSmock]

I am not bagging you out here, but it's one thing to use BigFooty to speculate and share reputable trade/FA gossip and sharing unsubstantiated rumours about player's personal conduct for no reason, and you have a bit of a track record for doing this.

It is highly improbable that Grundy is missing due to a illicit drug infraction, as at their first strike players are only fined and forced to undergo counselling, and for their second strike which involves a four game suspension, the offending player has their name made public. Here is a link to an article explaining the drug strike policy: How the new AFL illicit drugs policy works

You could have found the likely answer to your own rumour with a bit of research. Social media is full of horseshite

I'll own that. I'm really not having a good day for researching before posting. Thus far, I've mistaken Jakob Ryan and the pick swap last year AND Billy Frampton's age.

One thing about the illicit drugs "policy" is that it isn't actually legally binding. So the AFL can always hide the story if it creates inconvenience. I don't really trust the AFL because they're terrible at following policies and/or procedure. I highly doubt that only one player has reached three strikes ... it doesn't add up with how rife drug usage is in the AFL.

 

[KinderSmock]

He's currently being discussed on about 3-4 different Pie threads one with a poster suggesting the most ludicrous rumour yet.

I suspect that poster is me. I shall strive to be less ludicrous in future.

What was your ridiculous rumour?

 

[Chameleon75]

grundy is db cooper, oh hang on that’s my ridiculous rumour

 

[sideswipe]

I’ve heard the VFL is a cover for a drug strike, like Clarry and indeed Gunston and Rich. How accurate that is remains to be seen.

Outside of that, it’s very strange to drop Grundy to work on his forward craft when he’s primarily been a ruckman and surely was recruited to tandem with Gawn. The emergence of Van Rooyen hasn’t helped, either.

FMD. Tell your little buddies at the milk bar who spread this shit to go read the rules. An illicit drug suspension must be made public.
