Operation Get Brodie Grundy

[Happy Days]

Cool. So we’re gonna pay more for Lobb who is older, worse and plays a position of lesser need.

This is gonna annoy me for ages.

It's literally unbelievable. I'm so disillusioned with our trading............

Stef Martin was already too old when we first bought him in. He has had zero impact and is still on our books.

It’s a puzzling one. Maybe we enquired and Grundy just wasn’t interested in us. Would be good to know if we at least asked. If Grundy comes good (overcomes injuries to somewhere like his pre-injury AA form), yeah no doubt it’s one we will discuss infinitum.

It's mystifying. What's our short term plan? What's our long-term plan? Our strategy to list management is as mysterious as our weekly team selection.

What mystery?

We've backed in English as a no 1 ruck for years now.

F&&*** off

Well....true. But what's our 2nd ruck and backup plan? Is it really Martin who was effectively dumped this season? Or is it Sweet who Bevo refuses to play?

What about our backline that was referred to by the coach as missing a few key players? Keath can't stay on the park and was dropped for a number of weeks. Now Cordy is gone and all we've done is bring in Jones?

I can't believe we're all going to have to sit through yet another season lamenting the same old issues whilst we piss another Bont season away. We will be so far behind the 8 ball once we finally decide enough is enough. We haven't even been drafting due to JUH and Darcy. I can see a lot of painful years in the future the way we're going.

Right now, it's all-in on Lobb.
We aren't playing 2 rucks if the second ruck is only rucking for a few minutes per quarter. We cycled a few players through given Sweet isn't much use forward, Martin is cooked and Bruce was injured.

Traded for just pick 27…

I'm less concerned with not going for Grundy than I am with our overall list balance. Lobb would be fine if it was the last piece if the puzzle. But it's not. Our defence is horrendous even with Jones, we have no natural forwards and our mids don't want to get their hands dirty and now we're losing one of the few who does. Given all the holes, we're better of keeping pick 21 and hitting the draft. If the list managers aren't trying to get talent into the club via trade then it's time for a rebuild.

[Dancin' Douggy]

Pick 21 for Lobb is WAY overs. I'd rather take it to the draft.

Correct Moff and that is the reason we are chasing Lobb

For pick 27 you'd wanna hope Melbourne are eating most of his salary. But do we know if that is the case yet?

My understanding is he agreed to a paycut - but haven't seen that confirmed.
