I am still waiting for my moment, not in sport, because that's never happened or about to happen, but in life. But I guess a moment is not necessarily representative of the bigger picture, or in Will's case, a football career. He was certainly no De Goey overhead, dropping several marks fired his way that De Goey would have gleefully seized, but perhaps he is unfairly judged playing out of his midfield role. I thought he was better than Magden on who Reid seemed to kick the majority of his goals. Hopefully today is the first and last time this season that he has to be used at AFL level.He hasn't been anything special the last three weeks. Wills had one moment in the end and that was it. But one moment isn't worthy of a senior spot.
Moore was a champion who was ahead of his time, but Grundy, geeze!!!
I keep telling myself not to over do it, but every week he just dominates. I think he might just end up the best player I've seen in a Collingwood jumper, and that's all the way from Thommo to Pendles. God I hope he stays.
I think the Grundy hype is getting a little over the top. he is our best player, one of the best in the comp and played an excellent game tonight, a big reason why we won. however, he was getting credit when tapping it to nobody tonight and Sinclair is hardly one of the top rucks in the comp. Thought Pendles was our best player.
Maybe he’s gone off the weetbix!
But seriously, once he bulks up and gets some more core strength he’s going to be hard to stop.
You obviously didn’t see Peter Moore play, he was playing the Ruck/follower position like nobody before him. In terms of an extra on baller he was one of the first. Btw it was 2 Brownlows so I’m sorry Grundy not close yet.
You want him to add lots of upper body weight so he can wrestle better?
Err well that will impact his acceleration and agility.
Obviously he is young and will get stronger over time, but I think the lean body type works best for him. Makes him light and zippy
Err... I believe i have had this argument with you and proven you wrong many times before. It is a myth, bigger (within reason) equals slower. Also I'd like an even weight distribution not just upper body but its certainly important to having a balanced strong body.
It will improve his acceleration. Agility relies on flexibility and quick small steps, so long as he stretches well and does some agility work he will keep it.
If your wrong assumption was right, sprinters would be built like marathon runners (like Jayden currently) but instead they are built like brick **** houses as power = Speed.
I'm talking about acceleration over the 1st few metres, not maximum speed running in a straight line, two very different things. I believe his light frame helps his acceleration over the first few metres and agility which is crucial to his leading and marking in the forward 50. Yes, obviously more weight will increase his maximum top speed in theory.
Stevo was quiet tonight,but that ground doesn’t suit him at all.It’s always wet and heavy and there’s no space to move.Just not suitable for someone with his pace.
9! count em 9 of our top 22 out!

Rob you are going too early here. Grundy has enormous potential but he hasn't shown yet he is Moores equal. Moore could kick bags of 7 or 8 as a young forward. Could kick 76 goals in a season and then become a ruckman who won 2 Brownlow. As much as Grundy plays as an extra mid it was Moore who defined that role. Thommo and Moore are the 2 best I have seen at Collingwood. Thommo redefined the ruck role by becoming the mobile big man but then Moore came and redefined things by being a star forward who then became the 1st ruckman who was also a follower/mid.Moore had blonde hair and ankle straps....flashy! Grundy is a battering ram, a gladiator, a one man clearance machine. He'd take Peter Moore after a few contests. Moore was great....but this bloke's something completely different.

Pretty measured response from Harley. What did you want him to say?https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/s...n/news-story/f5343bd5792e91acd0c9715dbd253ed7
Geez this pathetic club can go and get stuffed.

Still not worth losing 2 top 5 players for. I doubt Grundy will bend us over for a pay day, but I wouldn't destroy our list just to keep him.Pay Brodie two mil a year if necessary. If we lose Jordy and Darcy so be it, Grundy may end up being our best ever player.
Exactly. We are only as good as the opposition let us, and teams are going ultra defensive against us making the contest uglyIt’s the same story every week, we sit here for two hours and get fired up for not firing on all cylinders (me included), but take it for what it is, a road win in slippery conditions with a less than desirable 22, the important thing is that we won.
You’d like to win more comfortably of course, but we got the job done.
