as his football icon, will bolster a young side of ruckman in Lachlan McAndrew and Will Green.

DOB: 15/04/1994
Draft: 2012
Recruited From: Melbourne FC

 

[The King!]

He is an elite matchwinner

His hitouts actually go to advantage and create opportunities especially at stoppages.


When it hits the deck he becomes an extra mid and can use it well especially by hand,

The guy works hard, wet day has a black eye closing up and lays 11 hecken tackles, most by anyone in the side

Do we rest him at a stage?

Jesus!

I was rapt with Grundy's performance. So important to the outcome. I wound up giving him the 5 votes although it could have been a few of them.

But I can't get over Ivan Soldo

's ruck stats at Port!!

 

[Jewelsbon]

Bringing in Brodie has been a master stroke. Eight games into his career as a Swan and none better than yesterday, he was massive. Live at the game, I thought he was a special to win the medal.

 

[Swannie0307]

Big shout out to Grundy… with him, it feels like we got one of those great two-for-one deals.

He’s a strong ruckman but more importantly for us, he doubles up as that big bodied midfielder that we desperately needed.

And seems like a great lovable character around the club too

Yes I rated him in my top few… didn’t get a coaches vote interestingly? We’re travelling ok when a strong performance doesn’t even get a vote
