Past Heath Grundy - Farewell Reg, retired 2019

[Jeffers]

Yep, shows how important an interrupted pre season can affect a player.
Hitting his straps now.

 

[BumbaT]

Who are our first and second talls?

Rampe the midget?

And?

Our KPD stocks are pathetic.

and who are considered good in your mind?

We don't have any.

I have to agree with Duds in that he doesn't look a likely forward but I have to disagree about him not becoming a decent defender (and I suspect Roos and co see his future down back). I think his current deficiencies as a defender (poor spoiling, poor decision making etc) are all things that can be improved in time. He won't be a star but it's too early to write him off.

I was wrong about that last bit

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Happy birthday Reg!!

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Btw, his career is no way near over so reckon the thread title is jumping the shark a little...

 

[caesar88]

Best defender in the competition

I will fight anyone who disagrees

 

[The King!]

We all make some shocking calls

I’ve made heaps and heaps

But hard to top a certain someone’s career evaluation of reg

 

[S120]

My mea culpa is that about 6 weeks ago I was predicting he might not be in the side by the time finals roll around because of his size and lack of pace becoming more of a weakness. How wrong I was. He's been truly back to his best the last 6 weeks.

One of my favourite Swans I've seen live at this point. He's in rare air when it comes to Swans defenders. Become one of the very best of the last few decades. In there with Andrew Dunkley, Craig Bolton, Nick Smith, Ted Richards as the best pure Swans defenders of the last 20 years.

 

[The King!]

I was worried about his speed the first few weeks but he has been fantastic


Just wish we had another tall and shuffled reg and Rampe to 2nd and 3rd tall

I cAAnt think of AAnyone AAt AAll

 

[Angry Red Bull]

I was always confident that he would surge to top again. What people must remember is that most bigger bodied players only hit ther straps after six to seven games especially late in their career - a game fitness thing for those in that category. He is a star IMO.

Starting to hit some form in NEAFL which is a good sign.

Aliir Aliir is better.

Risking it going early, but will be his 250th on Friday.
I can still remember watching him kicking bags of goals for fun as a forward in the now defunct AFL Canberra League against powerhouses Tuggeranong Hawks, Weston Creek Lions and Wagga Tigers.
Kicking 3 on debut against the Tigers before becoming the reliable backman for the past 10 years.

Possibly a SM-shaped silhouette scuttling away with a baseball bat in the dark from the Swans players' car park after Monday night training.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

This guy is in AA form again and doesn’t need to grab the attention of selectors with superman dives!

There's been some utter rubbish put forth on this forum, but that has to be the consistently worst take anyone has ever posted on here.

 

[J_Moore]

How come no one ever talks about his mark where he jumped over Darren Jolly? Absolutely unprecedented. The guy’s centre of gravity is like half a foot off the ground. It was like watching a dachshund clear a pool fence.

I remember it well. Seems to be very underrated.

Didn’t Roosy laugh because he got off the ground?

 

[Ticky009]

Reg has been fabulous once he got fit after limiting pre season.
Also, there is no one. And I do mean no one who does the ‘I’ll just accidentally fumble this ball over the sideline’ thing.

 

[Theprofessional]

As much as i like Moore i personally think that he will never get a Brwonlow. I personally think out of our young guys Veszpremi and Bird will be the most likel to challenge for a brownlow one day.
