Have you ever voted in the medal Willy? It's a great leveller mate, its called democracy. People take it quite seriously, as they should. If you check each week I think you will find that the overall top 3 would be listed in any other match review you could find. So I think your attempt at comedy is barking up the wrong tree and you are not giving Nick's football watchers and judges enough credit.

Grundy is a gun AA ruck, absolute no comparison with Cameron and/or Cox.
In 2021 he averaged more hit outs than any other ruckman in the comp.
In 2020 he was 2nd behind Gawn.
In 2019 he was 2nd behind Witts.
In 2018 he was 2nd behind Gawn.
How can there be any discussion than Cameron or Cox have gone past him as #1 ruck.

This thread is no doubt a direct follow up to some great form both Cameron and Coxy have shown in the last month without Grundy and how successful the team has been. Being one that loves Grundy but not in agreement with a high end contract he is playing to, and all the ramifications and salary cap issues we have had. It is easy to critically look at Grundy’s contribution over the last two seasons. The fact that we have been losing in centre clearances (especially against top sides) and that many times Grundy’s taps were going down the throat of the opposition players one tends to thinks about our ruck and clearance play. With the C’s recent contribution the question is can we play all 3 at the same time? Grundy’s great attributes in my mind are
1 his endurance, he will wear any ruckman in the comp down
2 strength in a contest, especially at ground level
3 He is a reasonable kick and more than average kicking for goal
4 he is a good tackler and his presence in the contested ball is an advantage.
I loved the leigh Brown role Malthouse implemented leading up to our 2010 flag That physical presence around the contested ball allowed Pendles and Swanny protection and added physicality to our defensive tackling pressure. McRae game style is not based on a a kick to the boundary to Browns or Jolly’s advantage but a running collective plan where The break is usually initiated by a pin point threading kick that can be initiated by our two running halfbacks IQ Noble or The Daics boys and or the rolls Royce Pendles himself, mostly up the guts. Clearly someone that can kick!!. Grundy being a good link and running player could play a number of roles during a single match A big bodied midfielder around ruck contests who can also link in rebounding moves; The go to contested mark when the ball is driven out of defence; Or the standard Ruckman role which he plays and shares with Cox or Cameron but in a reduced in playing time manner. Can’t wait to see how Fly deals with it all.

Yawn, nice try but Grundy even had more clangers than Treloar that day...
