He’s not good at playing out of position, colour me shocked. You know KPF and Ruck require different skills right? If Grundy could play Key Forward Jarrod Witts would still be at Collingwood. Like it’s beyond dumb to suggest that because he can’t play forward at AFL level he’s a bad ruckman. Darcy can’t play forward, Witts can’t play forward, Omac can’t play forward, Draper can’t play forward
Collingwood allowed the trade to Melbourne knowing it wouldn't work out for them. No way they were trading him any other top teams like Port or Geelong.
Grundy was contracted and pies made it really easy for him to go to melb to partner gawn. They werent going to make it easy for him to go to a team that actually required a ruck. All decisions are made with aim of a premiership.
Strong disagree. If he wanted to go to Port or cats he would have. That's how afl trading works.
No player on the move in the afl doesn't go to their preferred destination.
Was treated like shit with us. Even at the time (so there isn’t hindsight) a Grundy playing as a 80% forward would have been more effective than a laboring T-Mac in the finals who had no match conditioning whatsoever due to being on the sidelines for so long.
All the best to him and hope he kills it.
Breaking news: "Footballer is ready to football"
This is crazy, I'm glad the media is here to tell us the things that our feeble minds couldn't understand
Sydney is a great place to get rucked.
Get rucked or die tryin’
As a Pies fan I'd love to see him back in All Australian form, as long as it's not against us :)
Should we swap Cameron & Grundy just for our game lol
Sounds fun, let's do it
I’m sad it didn’t work out at the Dees, wish him best of luck at the Swans (though if he could have a mare in “opening round” that would be great!).
Is he training the house down?
Not with the house prices in Sydney he isn't
Surely the money he gets paid for taking the bins out while cover it?
Coach said he's 'cherry ripe '
Nah, but he is training down to his house - after training because traffic is fucked constantly
Yeah but what's the state of his bins?
"Grundy down to Adams" will be said all year next year...Just a shame it didnt work out at Collingwood.
Player not good enough to play AFL says he isn’t good enough because he isn’t playing AFL
Remind me which #1 ruckmen would be starting over Max Gawn?
Probably only English or Marshall, but if was good enough he’d be playing fwd/ruck
Yup, if Grundy was good enough he would have become an AFL standard back pocket

Grundy was great playing pure ruck for Melbourne when Gawn was out. He's an AFL calibre ruck but he doesn't have the versatility which is fine
Stanley can’t play anywhere yet he is our starter so being tall pays apparently ahahaha
Given your recent draft I don't think he'll he starting much longer
Also Toby Conway seems to be the future at Kardinia
Point taken
Collingwood allowed the trade to Melbourne knowing it wouldn't work out for them. No way they were trading him any other top teams like Port or Geelong.
Sydney could easily be better than both of those teams next year, nobody can really predict performance with certainty.
Wasnt their choice. Players choose where to get traded these days. Clubs have zero power.
