Hope he does read it

Then I guess then we might as well go ahead and Trade

- Moore
- De Goey
- Pendles
- Sidebottom

as well as we might as well Start from Scratch

Which is why JDG is under more pressure. Grundy though needs to suck it up when it comes to media heat.

FWIW no player should be abused online that’s taking it too far.

When the line between media and social media has become so blurry, what's the difference between being criticised by the media and being criticised online

Take it easy Dave, we are talking about Grundy , not the other 2 superstars in Pendles and Moore

Grundy is not reading Big Footy.

Grundy is not reading Big Footy.

Thanks Brodie

 

[jmac70]

Thanks Brodie

You think Grundy reads this?

 

[TradeDraft]

Fans should not be having a Go at Grundy.

The Club was the people offering that Contract and Grundy was not going to NO

 

[Matrix10]

You think Grundy reads this?

I don`t know if he reads this, but he reads social media. he has alluded to that

 

[jmac70]

I don`t know if he reads this, but he reads social media. he has alluded to that

Look, he’s not reading your posts, he’s not reading mine. Why would he?

Dave, the club did not offer it, those were the demands of Brodie and his management, yes, we were silly to cave in , that we must own as a club

You asked me a question, I gave you my reply, I don`t care if he reads it or not

What were his demands?

What were the club offering?

The only thing we've heard is that we'd have preferred a shorter contract and that Adelaide were offering a $1M plus for 5 years to lure him away. Yet there are more than a few posting crap about him making demands. It's a negotiation FFS. Offer and counter offer. We don't like it and we can let him walk at any time. He can do likewise. So what is it, jealousy that he's successful from posters who didn't get there that underpins all the contract angst?

He wanted a 7 year contract and Adelaide were circling. If he was not pressuring the club why didn't he take the five year offer which was perfectly reasonable and would still be very rewarding financially. Do you think Collingwood out bid itself and extended the contract to seven years on a whim? I don't get it. Of course the players should look after themselves in a ruthless industry, but how much is enough? Half a million a year for five years should set blokes up for life yet that's not enough? Other clubs have had players choose pay cuts and premierships over big bucks and long term contracts. I wish ours had the same spirit.

I think supporters are angry because they feel he is one of the reasons we found ourselves having to offload players or perhaps I'm just projecting! I think Brodie always presented the image of the studious hippy, all about team and the simple life as he road about town on his little bike. It was a let down to see he was as money hunger as any big name in the comp.

No, but he's the one who demanded the $$ figure.

Why should he accept something that isn't what he wants? Just to appease a few keyboard warriors on a social media platform? He did nothing wrong and if the scuttlebutt is right signed an extended deal for considerably less than the Crows were offering. Win - win. We get him cheaper than market value, he gets the security he wanted.

All this angst about Grundy and his salary, thought it'd be interesting to note what the top earners had done in 2018-2020 in terms of justification for that salary. I've focused on B&F's, AA's and Brownlow's as the significant measures. I realise that several of these players earned their top $$'s 2017 and earlier and that there are other measures applicable. This wasn't meant to be an in-depth analysis, just a quick look. Used the report in the Australian to get the wages. Used Grundy's reported $925,000 from a Ned Guy article cited elsewhere in this thread. Draw your own conclusions.

O'Meara and Hill really stand out.

Only a couple of guys on here I'd take ahead of Grundy without thinking. Couple more that are debatable.

See Ball,

Punch ball forward.

 

[jimmy35]

Was it commentated on in the game he was the highest ranked ruckman of the year or were they talking about Goldy?

 

[jimmy35]

Hope he does not Real Social Media and Forums as he would asked to be Traded on the spot

People like to complain we’ve got list cloggers and mediocre players Dave and on the other hand like to whinge we pay one of the premium players in the comp. Go figure.

Depends on what your using as your measure.

I worry he is not in the Right Place Mentally at the Moment.

Does not look anything like the Gun he was in 2018-2019

Coming from you TD that says a lot!

 

[Scratchy05]

He has been our best player from a consistency point of view this year. This doesn't say a lot as we have been quite poor but he has been fine
