What's with the Grundy hate?

[connolly]

surely not, my memory of Schaubs is that of a great defender with a lovely kick.

Not really. He put one over row 7 where i was sitting at the SCG.

Surely he's in the mould of so many of our mid/large-ish-sized previous defenders and their ball use:

Andrew Schauble

All had good/great hands and questionable disposal. All held their place in defence. The difference is Grundy has time to improve

It's just his clangers and turnovers in defense are huge at times in the game that seem to cost us the game or just make the team lose momentum. Maybe he is being played out of position

Reginald has lost his junk. He left behind his swagger and took along his stagger.

I've always gone with the theory that he's a forward and a forward only. I'm not totally convinced after the last two weeks - he's been very good defensively and provided some attack out of the backline too.

I'm the same, actually. While I still think his best footy is up forward, and I've thought he has been a decent makeshift third defender in the past, his last couple of weeks have been very good defensively. I still think he should be moved forward, but with Lewis Johnston to come, and Ed Barlow and White showing decent signs up forward, he may end up staying down back. And at the moment, he's doing a decent job of it, if a little up and down, so I'm not too worried about it.
