Bit like Port Adelaide and their finals record under Sir Ken Hinkley, Uncle Phil :)
Oh but didn't you hear King Koch - because we won 13 straight in the minor round, it was a successful year 🥴.

Brodie Grundy is a failed AFL experiment much like AFLX, Wayne Carey's redemption arc and the Gold Coast Suns.

A few years ago (i.e. pre Covid lockdown) Brodie Grundy was one of the best players in the competition and there was a long and hard debate about whether he or Max Gawn was the best ruck in the competition. You all remember lockdown don't you? Stuck inside with no social life, which Bay 13 regulars... oh, nevermind.

Anyway Collingwood decided to hand him a huge contract and then suffered buyer's remorse. As Darcy Cameron provides 90% of the output for 30% of the cost, Grundy was put up for trade and someone at Melbourne (presumably their Supercoach consultant) decided getting him into the Melbourne line up was a good idea.

Sometimes, two of the thing you like just makes everything better. 2 beers are better than one. 2 Public holidays are better than one. Lesbian pr0n.
Brodie and Max just didn't work. As two players who are both no 1 rucks, Max is kind of ok resting forward while Brodie is kind of ok at watching Max rest forward. Brodie ended up playing 17 games and was decent whenever Max was out of the side, but Melbourne are a better side with Max Gawn playing. So Brodie went and became the highest paid VFL player this year for a few weeks and was eventually left out of the last 2 rounds of the season and from Melbourne's finals teams, forcing him to watch the choke(s) from the sideline. When Josh Schache is favoured over you as an emergency, it's time to reconsider your options/career/life.

Of course, Melbourne then described Grundy as a 'required player' which is a phrase you'd want to hear about as much as 'unexpected item in bagging area'. We all know it meant that Melbourne were open to offers and Sydney Swans, desperate for a ruck, obliged. So much like Mofra's social life, Brodie Grundy will have been at 3 clubs in the past 13 months with no success to show for it.

Awkward media moment: Carrie Bickmore, taking a break from crying at every story she's ever presented on any form of media ever, invited Grundy onto her radio show just before the Grand Final... having no idea he was no longer playing for Collingwood. This is why you can never trust anyone who "does their own research", people. Brodie and Carrie's co-host Tommy Little seemed to handle it well.

Brodie, good luck next year and if it doesn't go well you'll be fine as Sydney fans will just blame the umpires anyway. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2023.

Grundy was as required at Melbourne as Rohit Sharma's winner's speech was required after the World Cup final.
