No, I think the game has evolved so that midfielders are more dominant than ever and we do not see a whole cast of great ruckmen emerging. The midfielders are also taller. In the time that Thommo and Moore played, it was more one on one and not just a sea of mids everywhere. Each team had a set ruckman and there were some great rucks around with many winning Brownlows.
Grundy IS a midfielder.

That’s evolution

Jeez I loved Peter Moore, moved around the footy ground like a spring colt. Exhilarating as a forward and then something special as a ruckman. The GF losses in his time broke something in him I’m sure and that’s part of the reason he left.
Brodes is something special here, you can see his ruck craft developing every week and he’s already something special. His will at the contest and work rate set him apart from most as well. I’d never say he will be better than big Len or Peter Moore but he will be their equal as Collingwood ruckman.

Really glad that battle didn’t lose us the game.

Its not really our biggest concern but he probably just threw away his starting All Australian field spot, really gotta work for a bench spot but wouldn’t be surprised if they go solo in the ruck now.

Lucky for him Gawn shouldnt be near finals, this season anyway.

Gawn beat him today, but I think they'll go with both again for AA

Was troubled by the ankle injury all week and just tired as the match wore on, Gawn owed him one and lifted as he realised Grundy was limited. They're both colossal ruckmen so its no disgrace for Grundy to lose one. He'll get him next time!

Grundy's still comfortably ahead for the season. The AA team, isn't decided by a one game shoot out.
Barely anything split them last season, could be the difference maker this season. Don’t give the All Australian selectors credit they dont deserve, i could definitely see that being a deciding factor for them.

Assuming they are both fit in the second half of the year, they'll name them both - as they should. They're both absolute stars.

I couldn't give a fat flying f--k about AA.
What I do know is that many supporters are going way over the top when it comes to Grundy.
Reading some of the shite people write you would thing he is the greatest player to have ever run onto a football field.
He got his arse handed to him yesterday.
He is a very good footballer and will bounce back.
But chill out people. He is at the moment no where near as good as what the rose coloured crowd think he is.

According to Buckley's presser he was playing with a very sore neck otto - context mate.
