Hope he wins a Brownlow.

His season last year was one of the best I've ever seen in my lifetime, and he might be better this year

Moore was a dominant ruckman in an era when rucks could run in off 15 steps and launch over others who wanted to take body position. He and Mark Lee had the ability to clear the centre congestion with giant knocks forward. He then followed up his work a little like Grundy or Fraser used to. IN full flight Moore was a fantastic athlete and he complemented his ruckwork with towering marks up forward and kicking goals.

Dempsey was a slower ruckman but he absolutely knocked up taking marks in the backline. I'd rank him alongside McEvoy from Hawthorn. Both tough, smart if slow, lumbering ruckmen. Consistent without being brilliant.

Just want to jump in there with Gary Dempsey.
Elite, supreme in my view.
Far superior to McEvoy.
For me an all time great.

He had some great battles with Peter Moore.

Finding it hilarious the amount of opposition fans who want him to leave and go to Adelaide.

Of Course they do as they don't want Collingwood to be Good

 

[Black_White]

Agree. I thought he be able to make Big Money with the Collingwood Connection after he Retires

He would be a big name with either team in Adelaide.
And a two team town of 1.3 million people, I think he’d find plenty of opportunities post career.

Clearly best player in the league now

He’s certainly in the discussion.

I’d safely say he’s the best ruckman in the league, now ahead of Gawn.

Elite. And he’s all ours.

I was never a believer. I thought he didn't win enough hitouts or take enough marks. He got a lot of possessions, but if he didn't do the core role of the ruckman it was for nothing.

And then last season happened, and i've never seen such dominance from a Magpie ruckman. And then this year happened and he might be better still.

So happy to be so wrong.

 

[Pie eyed]

WE need to lock him in for life.

 

[Maggie5]

Was on the ground for 90% of the game I imagine the bye can't come soon enough for him. Superhuman!

 

[BoxMatrix]

Want to put some money on it?

Possibly. How much you talking?

 

[jimmy35]

If big Brodes does leave it won’t be for the money, it would be for the opportunity to go home. He doesn’t seem that type to me.
Very confident he’ll stay however. the big man.

Grundy is comfortably ahead in The Age 'footballer of the year' voting (scroll down to the totals at the bottom).

He taking more Marks this Season

exactly right - it's one aspect of his game that's improved noticeably this season - his ability to take a strong contested pack mark

Yep. He's starting to read the ball flight, but still not a strength yet. When he gets even better at reading the ball flight and thus clunking more marks, he'll go from being awesome to being unbelievably awesome.

These morons don’t know what they talking about in the grab he said some time in the future

 

[nahnah]

It’s not enticing at all, we won’t have a ruckman

 

[DinoSoar]

It’s not enticing at all, we won’t have a ruckman

But according to doofus Carey, we can just find ourselves another 25 year old ruckman. Simples ... why didn’t they think of that down at the Holden Centre, it’s pure genius
