    Reckon this is pretty harsh. Grundy is a gun.
    Would much prefer Grundy than Cameron

    Grundy isn't out of contact and just signed a 7 year deal. He is going nowhere.

    Yep, one ordinary, not terrible, year out of three isn't too bad.

    I bit top heavy, and you'd need to put 3 other highly defensive forwards to stop the run out. Maybe a forward line like:

    F: Joe, Jeremy, Lloyd
    HF: Cunningham, Buddy, Rampe


    might work?

    With Buddy taking up so much cap space for the next 2 years, I doubt you will see us pull a rabbit out of the hat and trade in a Cameron or Grundy. The only way it could happen is for an elite recruit to take unders for a couple of years then overs once Buddy retires.

    More likely is we go to the draft, pick up 3 excellent prospects and continue with our steady rebuild.

    ... as long as the rest of the team is on the minimum wage, and prepared to stick around the SCG after games to work
    as cleaners or as valets to collect Joe, Jeremys & Buddy's luxury rides for them after training to try and make ends meet.

    Grundy is a seven-year albatross hanging around Collingwood’s neck
    Everyone who thinks we need a gun ruckman to succeed should read that article......stuff it, I'll just quote the relevant section:

    "Ruckmen in the modern game do not win you premierships. Ruckmen are the most overrated position in the game with the least influence on the outcome.

    There is a litany of examples over the past decade of premiership-winning ruckmen being a small cog in the team’s overall success. Names like Ivan Soldo, Toby Nankervis, Scott Lycett, Nathan Vardy, Jordan Roughead and Ben McEvoy are all solid citizens but absolutely nothing more. They would all be in their premiership team’s bottom six.

    There is no better example than Grundy himself in the 2019 preliminary final against GWS, which the Magpies lost. It was a game where Grundy dominated his position.

    Grundy’s numbers in that game were extraordinary. He won 73 hit-outs and ten clearances. He had 25 disposals and the Magpies dominated the clearances 54 to 35.

    If ruckmen were so influential, Collingwood should have won by ten goals. Alas, all the tap outs in the world couldn’t be converted into genuine match dominance."



    We just need a strong midfield, which we are developing already and will strengthen at this years draft (along with, hopefully, a KPF through trading....just not Daniher or Brown! I'd rather Hogan, even with the risks involved).

    Bennell set to be delisted by the Dees.....are we over him? I guess his Covid breach is a red flag to ongoing issues.....outside of all his 'talent'.
