Has Grundy ever gone forward or back and taken big marks?
Grundy’s ground game was fantastic again. He has set himself some ridiculously high standards based on this thread.
Ruck work? Not too many to advantage, could have been better.

Fantastic?
Did he even have 10 touches for the game?

Grundy was putrid
Vardy gave him a bath

Goes to show having the best ruckman means bugger all. Smashed the Dees with Gawn, and made Grundy absolutely irrelevant yesterday.

Grundy is a better tap ruckmen now than Cox ever was. Only bloke to have dexterity close to Nic Nat
However despite the stats - cox’s open play game was better
Better in the air and immensely better foot skills - cox’s kicking ability (both feet) is criminally underrated -

Where did I mention Gawn?
Gawn’s height definitely allows him to win more taps - but dexterity to hit targets 360 - I give it to Grundy

Nah I don’t - Gawn is very very good - and id probably choose him over Grundy - but that doesn’t mean he’s perfect
Don’t understand why teams dint play two rucks ....mason cox barely rucks .....not sure why ...he is limited as a forward
Lycett and vardy aren’t elite as a singular ruck but as combo they beat Gawn and Grundy
Two rucks allows the other guy to go forward
Vardy was great yesterday ...yet Grundy never went forward
If I had to pick one Grundy is the better player but as a tap ruckman Gawn
But if your going combo deal with fries ...Lycett and vardy thanks ...lolz just jokes
But it does beg the question ....I think it’s a bloody lot to ask one ruck to ruck a whole game

He did yes
He sat behind the play a lot as an extra back too ...in the prelim we manned him up
I like Gawn but his kicking isn’t dean cox ...sorry cox was a phenomenal kick of the ball
If I was picking a player I’d pick Grundy just but it’s toss of coin
Not bagging Gawn at all
You're welcome to pick whom you like.
Gawn is the better tap ruckman and contested mark, which for me is more valuable than a ruckman who gets more scrappy disposals and tackles more.
Each to their own.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Melbourne, Collingwood and sone other teams reassess the one ruck option next year.
I’m staggered teams don’t play two rucks ....staggered
We’ve done it for 30 years
The second ruck must be able to play forward .....
I’ve seen teams okay one ruck and he gets injured ....geez
I said pregame WC have a lot of experience dealing with elite ruckman. They know how to shut them down.
They did the same tactic versus Gawn and Grundy. They basically used their own ruckman as a tag. Considering how rarely it is done both Gawn and Grundy were completely unused to it.
Worked a treat on both of them. I wonder if other teams might try the same thing next year?
