Hit out stats can be very misleading - there are hit outs and there are hit outs and Grundy's are neither.
They are consistently straight down to his feet.
That was fine in the early part of his career before everyone understand how good he was at ground level but that hasn't applied for years.
Part of this is the club's fault with their lackadaisical attitude to ruck coaching because his standard ruck craft should have been coached out of him years ago when the opposition adjusted to his style and simply blocked the contest up at every opportunity.
Hi Jen, I just checked and articles say BG comes out of contract at the end of 2027 season .
Yes…should have been 5 years topsWow, he’s going to be 33 by then. I guess Shane Mumford retired at 35, so there are precedents. But would think it’s the exception rather than the cause
He did alright as a back up. Let’s not get too carried away.Rocca played as a CHF, didn’t have the tank to follow. When he did compete in the ruck contests, we had an ascendency.
Grundy is a really good ruck. Hopefully Fraser can help him get even better.Grundy has 5447 Hit outs with 6 years to go on his contract. Not sure a ruck coach pure qualifications is based on their Hit out record.
We had Rocca, he was our most superior ruckman over that period. Never really rated Fraser in the ruck, but that may have less to do with craft and more to do with him being less aggressive.

IT's not the player, it's the kicking across goal which comes down to the players up field being lazy or stagnant.Except when kicking across goal. Howe’s cost us plenty of times, don’t worry about that.
Pendles may have to stay as skipper until the end of 2023 because we have not recruited potential leaders, unlike other clubs. Dees have Lever in the wings. On draft night they talked up some of the blokes snared as future captains. We have not chosen wisely when it comes to skipper potential. Not a huge fans of Adams because of his turnovers and nobody else really appeals, Howe is gettin on a bit and his kicking is also iffy. He is also a bossy looking type.
Well if Maynard wants it I agree he would be worth looking at. He and Crisp our are best players now.Adams would be A fine choice.
Ws also don’t know who can emerge from underneath now that there’s a new regime
Names such Maynard could elevate into leadership potential.
We're not in as much dire straits for leaders as Richmond are.Pendles may have to stay as skipper until the end of 2023 because we have not recruited potential leaders, unlike other clubs.

might be a 40 goal a year forward by that stage (fingers crossed).Wow, he’s going to be 33 by then. I guess Shane Mumford retired at 35, so there are precedents. But would think that’s the exception rather than the rule
But the question remains are any of them up to it. We know Nick Daicos will be a gun who will dominate and be one of our best ever players, not so sure about Bianco making it. Grundy and Moore are personalities a lot will not like. Richmond has 6 lined up as candidates atm.We're not in as much dire straits for leaders as Richmond are.
Adams probably has 5ish seasons left in him. Grundy and Moore are both in the leadership group and are mid-career. Maynard has been a part of the emerging leaders group within the club so may well be officially elevated.
Nick Daicos probably has leadership potential one day. Bianco was a premiership captain for Oakleigh so if he can cement a spot in the 22 he could be elevated in a couple of years.

Howes kicking is sublime! Not sure what games you’ve been watching. If anything g I’d Maynard is more suspect.
Now I agree with that, he has always been a bit iffy but a few seasons back he had some consistency so some thought his kicking was better than it actually is. At his best he can be penetrating and accurate but he is also guilty of turning it over and as said being a bit lazy or lackadaisical at times.if you think Howes kicking is sublime I suggest you should watch closer, he is a lazy kick far too often
Pretty sure Grundy runs at about 30%…Fraser had elite HOTA% of about 20-25% for most of his career. He's actually the perfect guy to help Grundy address this weakness in his otherwise vastly superior game
