Really? What on earth does Dean Cox have to do with the discussion?

Gawn vs Grundy = Dean Cox.

Billings vs Bontempelli = Leigh Matthews.

Am I doing it right?

He's wrong anyway, people only remember the end of Cox's career not the start at the same age Grundy is a mile better.

So you think he'll end up better than Cox? Good luck with that.

 

[TiggyTig]

Have said this before. Gawn is the best ruckman. Grundy is the best footballer who plays ruck. Completely biased but I like the one who taps it to himself the snaps the goal.

So you like Gawn as he kicked more goals this year?

He already is better than Cox

I thought I was clear that I liked the one who tapped it to himself and snapped the goal. Not sure what the relevance of who has kicked the most goals is. I assume your post is a way of moving through your pain after Friday night's result. Hope you feel better soon.

Genuine lol at the end of a long day. Thank you, good sir.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Cox is better than Cox

Good argument

 

[markm106]

Cox is better than Cox

Can’t argue with that.

 

[JackOutback]

Good argument

It didn't warrant an argument; Cox is widely regarded as the best ruck of the modern era by experts and opposition fans alike. So unless you think Grundy is already the best ruckman of the past 20 years, it's a patently absurd suggestion. But again, thanks for the laugh, I genuinely did need it.

Cox was a good player but Grundy is clearly better. Better ruckman, gets more of the ball, better skills, and far better defensively at stoppages. And goes only 24. But keep on thinking that Cox is somehow better

Hahahahahaha.

 

[adammania9]

Sounds like nothing but a “the old is always better than the new” argument

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Grundy for me.
Him & Nank working in tandem,Be like having 2 extra Mids.

Why would you play 2 though? #dumb

 

[burningdwarf]

Vardy.

 

[Tulip]

Grundy couldn't get going in the air, which made the get out kick difficult for the Pies when the Eagles were hammering those F50 entries. Both Gawn and Grundy shat it in in a big way against Vardy and Lycett the past two weeks.

Easily the best ruck around the ground in a s**t era for ruckmen, don't think it's as widely agreed as you think though. Goodes was better then it was apparent he was too good to waste in the ruck all day.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Vardy.

if he didn't beat him today he at least cancelled out Grundy's influence

Hugely important game by Vardy for their flag

 

[kozi]

Gawn had more influence on the game today.

 

[schmuttt]

or we could look at how they went on the big stage last weekend i suppose?

A week is a long time in football....

 

[Trav 20]

This is why pure ruck craft and contested marking is more important than a lumbering ruckman being an extra mid and tackler. The quality of those disposals aren't the same quality as a pure midfielder's.

Grundy was useless today.
