Please name these 19/20 year old ruckmen that are taking league by storm in comparison.
They have better experienced rucks ahead of them and are learning their craft where Grundy should be.

My issue isn't with his endurance, it's with his attitude. He channels any aggression he has into moronic disputes with opposition players, and he doesn't work hard enough from the first bounce.
I have no doubt that he'll be better, as all players progress with time in the system, but as it stands, it's laziness and poor application that are preventing him from having a greater influence. Yeah, he is only young, but if he doesn't change his attitude, the same problems will plague him in 5-6 years.
I have sources inside Collingwood and that is crap, Grundy and Bucks have a great relationship.Wright easily.
Grundy is a dick, not long now before he has a run in with Bucks and asked to be traded, then it will be a case of only runs one way, was a negative influence on the playing group....

Wright - I have seen little or no big man attributes - he's a big man with small player attributes. I wouldn't select Wright in the top 20.
Bellchambers was also playing forward most of that game, with Grundy basically dominating a state league debutant. He kicked 2 goals; could have had 5/6Great he can beat a bloke with a debilitating ankle injury!
Too easy:
McIntosh
Leuenberger
Stanley
Kreuzer
Z.Smith
Jamar
Hale
Ryder
Vickery
K.Tippett
Natanui
And that's just the blokes still on senior lists.
The irony of that last sentence

Why do you use a capital letter at the start of random words?We played our Best with Both Witts and Grundy in the Same Team
One is a better forward the other is a better ruck. They are both going to be good players in my opinion.
Ive seen a few people mention wrights stats from his best games this year so ill do grundys from his draft year. 33 disposals 10 marks 5 goals and 49 hitouts for sturt over glenelg.
He also hadn't played 50 games in his life before being drafted so things like decison making and certain skills will still take time to develop.
Rucks take a long time to develop usually so I'm happy with how he is doing.
One plays for Collingwood, so he suddenly becomes crapLet me see a player who has shown plenty at AFL in patches and struggled as at times vs a player who almost everyone who has responded, has never seen live and only seen highlights of.........
Why bother......
I've never seen a ruckman give away as many free kicks as Grundy before.
I don't know if he's just dopey, stupid or undisciplined but either way I'm glad he's not our ruckman because I'd rip out his hair.
Edit: By the way I chose Peter Wright in the poll and I've never seen him play before....He won by default.
He's no good. He's easily sucked in by sledging/wrestling and gives away free kicks, he lumbers around the ground with no apparent purpose for the most part, and he provides almost nothing aside from his physical presence and the occasional mark and goal. I don't buy the development line, either. He doesn't have the right attitude.
I'd take Witts before Grundy. Witts shows courage, works to create opportunities for his teammates, bothers to influence the contest, and to cap it off, he doesn't get drawn into petty squabbles with the opposition.
