What is the new coach going to do with Grundy.
He can't mark he can't ruck and he can't chase |
Yeah, I hope everyone saw with 15:40 to go in Q4 Grundy juggle and drop that simple uncontested mark on the wing. Just shocking.
That after dropping a mark in D50 with 19:00 to go in Q3. |
If this were in any way true, how can you explain his 2018 AA form, and his lesser, but still excellent, form in 2019?
COVID hubs and in close existence with Bux for that year is a good explanation for Grundy's decline in form. I think the changed coaching regime will make an enormous difference. |
COVID hubs are long gone. Buckley is long gone. Grundy's play since the Melbourne game (Buckley's last) has been putrid, with neither of those excuses in play. |
Bux has only been gone since June. The damage I feel done will take more than 2 months to address. While clearly Harvey has done oK, he is part of the previous regime and he was not able to magically transform what has taken a long time to create. Grundy, and the entire team, needs to be refreshed with an entirely new approach.
I will worry about Grundy if and when we need to, ie next year.

A big thank you to Robert Harvey for taking over the second half of the season and giving us a win over Richmond which pretty much was the difference of those ass..les making the finals. Thanks for your decades long service Harvs. All the best whatever you do. You are a nice bloke who deserves to continue their career elsewhere.
The club is a mess given the decisions of the last couple of years.
Good luck to the coach that takes over the reigns.
Be patient. This is a minimum 5 year project.

When the Captain goes on TV and says he'd sign elsewhere if offered a better deal, what do you expect?
Side-by-side are words only. |

Yeah, probably. But just the entire coaching regime around the mids and the rucks, and the slow ultra defensive ball movement.
Grundy's contribution is not one that should I think be measured just in terms of his individual brilliance or lack thereof. Grundy will improve when he has a midfield with a physical presence, and a clearly defined non ultra defensive game plan which the whole team plays to.

Yeah, can't believe that we haven't signed Pendles up on a deal that he would accept straight away. Also disappointing that this Collingwood legend is going on air to announce it. So disappointed in every way by this.

Really impressed with Ollie Henry today before he was injured. He has great marking and kicking skills and such promise for the future.
JDG has finally found his permanent position in the mid-field, I'd say, having developed the stamina to claim it.
And I am extremely thankful for the presence of Billy Elliott in a Collingwood jumper. |
