GET GRUNDY...
Brodie Grundy is just another skinny dumb footballer..sound familiar? Warnok?.... Wish we never signed Warnok and persuaded a smart marking footballer to come line up in the navy!

One of the most moronic things I've read since the days of starchamber!
Brodie Grundy was the definite standout at the carnival (in the ruck stock anyway)
(Despite the fact my friend was the WA ruckman and i would like to think he held his own
)
Hes tall, athletic, moves around the ground excellently and most importantly despite his lack of football experiance already knows the game, i.e knows where to position himself, he was always in the perfect position on the wing to get the clean up marks.
But the point is moot Grundy will go top 5 for sure we'll never get him

We could use Grundie this weekendI'd like to have a four ruck policy.
Btw love your sig.
I'd like to have a four ruck policy.
We have three pure rucks and three part time rucks on the list...no more rucks!!!
We should have no problem finding someone to ruck this weekend in then.
Yeah we sure are in a pickle with our ruck stocks at the moment. For a team that probably has the most 1st string rucks on our list, we cant even get one of them out there.
Its the bloody Carlton Curse.

Norm Smith Medallist
If we try and take him with our first pick they'll get him wiht their second
We need GWS or Gold Coast to opt to take him with their first picks.
Now he's not worth pick 1, so if GWS or Gold Coast choose Viney, Melbourne will most likely let them have Viney for pick 1 especially if Melbourne think they have a chance to land Whitfield
What Melbourne hope for is that GWS or Gold Coast dont take Viney with their first picks, then Melbourne can take who ever they want with pick 3 and get Viney with their next pick
Basically we will never get Viney
Obviously you have no idea about the rules? There is likely to be only two clubs that can force Melbourne to use their first round selection. The question clubs have to ask themselves is, do they rate Viney one of the top two selections in this draft?
Because the way the bidding system works is the club must use their NEXT AVAILABLE selection meaning if we bid our first rd selection then Melbourne would need to use their next available pick, which would be their second rd pick (components picks can't be used for f/s bids. The only sides which could make them use their first rd pick ate those that that finish BELOW them on the ladder.
That's horse crap that they dont have to use compo picks for f/s a next pick is a next pick... If they aren't forced to pick him at 3 then they are going to rape this draft its bull****!! He is easily a top 10 talent if not 3 or 4 then they should be made to use 13. Ffs Tom scully was no where near worth 2 first rounders!!
the teams that finish lower than melbourne should bid on him anyway because melbourne have already contracted him, so there is no way melbourne wont take him.
and the only way gws or gc wont out bid melbourne is if they make a gesture of good will.
and the only way gws or gc wont out bid melbourne is if they make a gesture of good will.
Not neccesarily, i'd say thats the case if Melbourne come 16th and there are two team ahead of them because i think Melbourne would take Viney instead of whoever goes number 2 be it Grundie etc.
But if Melbourne finish 17th and there is only one team below them, If that team chooses Viney it think Melbourne will let them have him and take whitfield.
Still early days though, but Whitfield is the one everyone wants at the moment
so would that mean melbourne would have to pay out the suposed 5 yeaR contract? cos if thats the case thats the best possible situation for him
I assume their would be some clause in the contract saying this is all partial to him being drafted to the Melbourne Football Club
that makes sense
