Two of Callow, Moyle, Stengel or Ash Johnson would suffice for now.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Gotta say, I looked at the Grundy HOs vs. Geebung on video and it looks a lot worse than predictable (and worse than it looks live). TBH I'm a bit shocked.

A look at Grundy's hit outs vs. Geebung (from highlights on afl.com.au)...


Q1 1:05 HO to advantage to Crisp.

4:17 centre HO to ground behind him; his direct opponent (Esava) runs on to the loose ball and collects.

4:35 HO to oppo; rebounds off oppo's hands back to him; failed attempt to kick.

4:50 HO to oppo; rebounds off oppo's hands back to him; failed attempt to kick. (Repeat!)

5:08 HO forward & clear of pack but straight to oppo (#30) on his own.

11:30 Shallow throw-in, given as HO but down by the ruckmen's knees and straight to ground.

26:21 HO fisted to ground in clear space; Pendlebury runs and collects ahead of his opponent, so given as 'to advantage'.


Q2 0:03 centre HO forward to JdG & Selwood; ball spills to ground off JdG's hands; JdG runs and collects ahead of Selwood, so given as 'to advantage'.

7:51 centre HO to his left, straight to Narkle in the clear.

18:36 HO to his right from boundary throw-in, straight to Selwood in the clear. (He then tackles Selwood around the neck and Selwood gets the free...)

23:19 Shallow throw-in, given as HO but down by the ruckmen's knees and straight to ground; and it looked like both ruckmen had a piece of it.

25:13 HO below waist after wrestle with opponent, to ground; players chase and oppo picks up.


Q3 0:03 centre HO up in air as he falls; ball in dispute; Parfitt and Narkle collect.

1:46 Throw-in, given as HO but not really; Grundy collects the spillage and goals.

2:52 centre HO to ground; JdG swoops and collects, so 'to advantage'; nice moves by JdG after to get clear.

3:42 HO to left & to ground, vaguely near Poulter, but it bounces up to Narkle.

6:44 Throw-in, supposedly HO, but it looked like Stanley's HO; anyway, goes to ground and ends with oppo.

7:10 Throw-in, supposedly HO, but unclear whose; goes to ground in front of ruckmen; IQ picks up, so 'to advantage'.

I cannot believe how anyone can defend then make up a misnomer by calling him Thor.
The money Grundy is on should keep other clubs well away which as usual backfired and blown up in our face. We are stuck with him now for a seriously long time. People continue to talk about buddy’s long contract and justifiably but imagine if he could stay on the park, it would have been a good deal for Sydney.
What we got in the case of Grundy is the crap that K has clearly outlined above.
no second chances
