Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

That’s great news! I don’t think we can stress enough how big a deal it is to have a player of Grundy’s status commit that long term. He’s a connecting personality within the group so this sets the trend.

Hold your horses, he hasn't committed yet. It's just on the table. Trying to keep the vultures from circling, hopefully he does agree to it soon.

Let's do a rough estimate of figures and players potentially finishing this year with the club.

Greenwood 400k?
Wells 650k?
Reid 300k?
Dunn ( possibly ) 250k?
Then you factor is the pay cuts that pendles and sidebottom have reportedly taken. I dont see the scary part of resigning these players I'm just worried about having 2 guys in degoey and grundy on 1 million each. That's a lot of the salary cap gone on two guys.
I think we could stand to lose maybe one player but unsure of who, it would be an amazing effort to keep this group together

Should be our next Captain IMO.

I wholeheartedly agree! Adams is a solid deputy and will get the nod, IMO, but Grundy has him covered.

If this is in the public this far out it’s a fait accompli.

It's a really good list we've put together. Going forward, we basically need a successful happy team so guys are willing to stay for less than they're offered elsewhere. From the outside, we're looking good on the happy team front. Bring on the success. Keep the list together and then have more success. Go Pies.

Hey Thedivided, totally agree however Wells ripped up his contract post last list lodgement this year and signed for base payment and incentives. This gives us about $400-450k unused this year that we can roll over into next year’s payments on the 2yr averaging rule.

Never seen a player’s contract get bigger and bigger with each new speculative post....

It’s just an interesting phenomena.

 

[Sea fog]

Always thought both Wells and Mayne were on 500. Wells chose us because we were the only club offering more than two years.

A premiership this year would go a long way in helping keep the band together.

So 7 mill over 7, boxes need ticking before handed out something like that.

Durability: tick

Abilty: tick

Attitude: tick

Positional importance: tick nowadays

Leadership qualities: tick.

Hair due: X

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Pay Grundy whatever he wants!!!

 

[Occidental]

He was magnificent tonight. One of the greatest ruck games I’ve ever seen.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Pay Grundy whatever he wants!!!

If we do he'll be able to afford a haircut.

 

[grayza2018]

Wowwee what a game. Ned Guy will be crunching numbers all weekend on this one, pay him what he wants!

 

[Tbone McGraw]

If we do he'll be able to afford a haircut.

Jesus Christ never cut his hair

Slight differential in terms of strength.

 

[Good_Old]

Spud. Delist.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Spud. Delist.

Nah we will get at least a 1st rounder for him. Possibly 2.

This whole topic is making me laugh and cry together.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Grundy was our entire midfield tonight. The rest of them were witches hats.

 

[barrackers]

Wow, these are some crazy numbers

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Wow, these are some crazy numbers

Mate, don't bring facts into the argument.

Grundy is a dud....

 

[barrackers]

Mate, don't bring facts into the argument.

Grundy is a dud....

If only we could have another 21 duds like him

 

[foreigner]

Does anyone think that Grundy rucking is taking the hitout and then trying to clear the ball himself. Is it something he attempts when he makes contact with the ball?

It can mean a few things, either he doesn't have enough trust in our mids by trying to do it himself, or it is a game plan we are trying out.

Is that a reason for us not having a better ratio of hitouts to advantage with the dominance he has?
