Past Heath Grundy - Farewell Reg, retired 2019

[GotTheGoodes]

From the amazing high of AJ to the devestating news about Reg. This game can be a rollercoaster sometimes.

Reggie, you bloody champion, please be safe & get well soon mate.

Personal health and well-being always comes first, hope Reg is well supported and gets better soon.

Given we don't know much else about the situation I think that's all that needs to be said at this point. Let's respect his privacy.

 

[Tuco]

Not interested in digging further. I just wanted to post how much I've respected everything he's done for the club and wish him and his family all the best.

 

[tora tora tora]

Been a great player for you guys, hope he plays on. I liked the way he goes about it

 

[brew]

Always pissed me off with his intercept marks against us.

Hope he gets well soon

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The bloke is a legend. Hoping for a swift recovery.

 

[BarryMorgan]

As always when anyone in the public eye does so, hats off to Grundy for putting his hand up and admitting he’s battling.

Always loved watching him play, just a good, honest no frills defender, and seems like a good bloke to boot.

 

[Skystyler]

Love Reg, he's been a rock for the swans. I trust the swans will be a rock for him.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

He looks happy today:

Anyone hear any news on Reg?

First & foremost, I hope the big fella is doing well. Secondly, I hope he get's a crack again at finals. He's so important IMO. Just a bit worried as I haven't heard/read much about him.

GtG, Allegedly Horse signalled his possible selection this week, depending on the make up of the Dawks side.

Named in the 22. Welcome back, Reg!

Match up for Roughead

Farewell my arse!

 

[Punts]

Well done reg

 

[S120]

Welp, I was very wrong. Very glad to see him go again though. There's been few more reliable players than him over the last 5 years and no more reliable and consistent when it comes to performing in finals.

I suspect Maibaum is just about guaranteed to leave the club now. Another year of competing with Melican, Aliir, Grundy, Rampe and maybe Moore I can't imagine he'll be keen for.

 

[BloodySwan]

Rumours be gone! 1 more year of Reg, love it!

 

[Punts]

only thing I hope is that he doesn’t end up like ted in his last year after going 1 to many

 

[6yearsold]

what does this mean for jack maibaum?

seems they have no confidence in him at all and will likely de delisted.

 

[bungwahl]

Fantastic news. Will likely still be best 22, but even if he’s pushed out by the younger guys it still gives us great key position coverage. Wouldn’t be an expensive signing either.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

But he hadn’t signed on by Round 11...what happened to ‘gone’?

 

[Tedeski]

But he hadn’t signed on by Round 11...what happened to ‘gone’?

In fairness I don't think he can be thrown in the same basket as a young gun still to sign.

We have suddenly signed these three blokes, Macca, Reg & Naismith, in 3 days, so perhaps we don't have much happening in the off season at all.
Except Mills, Melican, Reid & Naismith as our 4 'recruits' for 2019.

I see no reason why Maibaum wouldn't stick around for another year. The club are viewing him as a Reg replacement, but maybe he's just not ready for it yet? Another year in the NEAFL and few senior games will be good for his development.
