My understanding is that our salary arrangement is only with Melbourne.Johnno75 wrote:^^ Will that mean both Collingwood and Melbourne would be paying part of his salary? Surely that be an AFL first.
Good luck to his tax agent, they will definitely earn that money.
So Melbourne pay us 900k a season for Grundy to play in the VFL?Piesnchess wrote:Latest rumour doing the rounds is, deep breath, he may well come back home to us. ! This is funnier than the Marx brothers.

Hmmmm... not sure, but if we can win the Premiership, I have a hunch that Mason Cox may well decide to call it a day and retire. Like his eyes and all that. So, to get Grundy back would not be all bad, I guess, as there would be a spot for him. Or maybe we should look at this De Koning, that seems to be a ruckman who wants a home. Just saying.

Darcy would need to get off the bread rolls to play a role in this team. He was left for dead a few times by Cox, once in particular letting Mason drift into the forward line leaving some Lilliputian trying to do the job Darcy should have been doing.K wrote:Interesting hunch...Piesnchess wrote:WhyPhilWhy? wrote: I don't hate that idea...

But if we're really serious about getting another ruckman, we'd have to ask Freo about Sean Darcy. Freo have a Melbourne problem too, just not as bad. Darcy and Jackson getting in each other's way. (It's not as bad 'cos Jackson has played much better than Grundy. That's not hard, of course. But some Jackson games have been very good.) Cornes and co. have been saying Darcy needs to find a new home.
He looks like he enjoys the cakes and pastas too much; I wouldn't hold that against him!dalyc wrote:Darcy would need to get off the bread rolls to play a role in this team....

FWIW, I think Cox will play on anyway
Carlton-supporting journo Sam M. reckons that's too much loyalty. He should take the 8 years.But why are StK interested in another ruckman?MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:All Goodwin had to do was phone up anybody at Collingwood, who would have told him you can't play both Gawn and Grundy out of the center. Neither have any forward capability. Both need to play the majority of their time out of the center. Cameron and Cox compliment each other because both have forward craft. With Grundy he can't jump either, so how does Goodwin expect Grundy to jump for marks in the forward line? Trade to St Kilda makes sense. Better still Port Adelaide should make a play for him next year. Wherever he goes, that should end the wage subsidy Collingwood has to pay him.Piesnchess wrote:... Word on the street is he may be traded to the Saints, in a three way deal with us, so we dont have to pay part of his salary anymore, this was mooted on the footy show too. ...
K wrote:Matthew Lloyd nailed that one. (Was it easy?)K wrote:...
Lloyd says "Gawn and Grundy should be fearing Marshall".
"In the two games since, Gawn and Grundy have kicked only one goal between them, and last week they were well beaten by St Kilda’s Rowan Marshall, who polled seven of a maximum 10 coaches’ votes."

But he did get that niggle injury early in the game - perhaps he couldn't chase as well as expected under this circumstance?
Sean Darcy had ankle surgery and is out for the rest of the season.K wrote:And, yeah, Darcy was injured. Freo talking about debuting their kid ruckman next game so they can leave Jackson forward.
Yup. Club's given him a new 2-year contract. And he doesn't seem the kind of person who wouldn't see out a contract. Prolly he'll only retire when no more contracts are offered.dalyc wrote:...

If Grundy had any forward ability, Jarrod Witts wouldn't have been dumped from the Pieseddiesmith wrote:Would be so typical after he refused to leave Melbourne when we could have got such a better deal...Jezza wrote:I think Grundy going back home to South Australia is a possibility.
Port lack ruck depth, so I could see him going there if the price was right for Melbourne.
But did@ Melbourne thinking he can become a forward. If he had any forward ability whatsoever then he may not have been dumped from the Pies.
As for the contract, if what's been reported is true. we didn't pay anywhere near 250k p.a and its all paid off this year. So not sure if we are paying 90% of his wage this year to play VFL
