North Melbournes Finest

Grundy is looking like the best preseason pick I've ever had for supercoach (since day 1).

Grundy is on fire! Well done to anyone that jumped on

Bit the bullet and traded Grundy in before the game .... nice  :D
Who for?
I started Ryder expecting to use 2 trades for his bye and when he got injured I got Witts ( stupid trade ) just could not afford Grundy I could this week so traded him in for Witts figured it's still 2 trades and I have avoided all the other carnage , worked out ok  ;)
Interesting...

Think you were a bit harsh trading out Witts so soon. Last week was his first ever sub 70 since joining the suns IIRC.

Though I guess you can't complain with Grundy so far haha.

Yeah maybe you are right about Witts but I had a chance to grab Grundy this week with only Ryan to fix next week it might not be possible so it worked out well  :)

Decisive trading, I like it. Grundy will be a good pick this year.

So much for the "he doesn't score well with Cox in the team"
He's got the most potential of any ruck to improve, is very mobile and athletic for a big guy.
Spewing I doubted him with the Cox factor and picked Goldy. Can't see Goldy getting back to his best tbh.
Would have made the trade if I didn't have so many other issues.

I had Grundy in there for a brief moment but ultimately went for Goldy. Very much open to trading this week if Goldy has a another shocker.

Don't go there...

I picked Grundy last year expecting him break out like he seems to have this year, and although he was good, he didn't.

Buckley also played Cox in the ruck for a lot of last year, and the games where he did, Grundy scored poor.

This year, Cox is playing almost exclusively forward and Grundy is breaking out. I didn't pick Grundy again because I figured Cox would continue taking a share of the ruck.

Gotta love Collingwood :-X

Thinking that with Grundy only 24 & entering his prime years this could be the big breakout year. Can't see anyone stealing his thunder, Gawn & Grundy top 2 in my opinion.
+1

DunnyBrush

Need 2 of Gawn, Grundy, Martin, NinNat theres the top 4.

Goldy is shower.

Goldy has to go! Enough is Enough!

Considering a Jacobs to Grundy trade for next week.
As things stand right now it's a done deal. Just depends on what happens with today's games (no injuries) and a positive update/news on J Kelly.

I made a mistake.  Thought his personal issues were behind him.,  Goldy is out.  Grundy in this week.   
Was a pleasure watching Grundy on Friday night.   Great tap work, and then 25 possessions as well.   

Torpedo10

Goldy has a good bye, Grundy doesn't.

Hopefully Goldy doesn't get dropped, because unless he is, there are more pressing issues for my side personally than a Ruckman averaging 90.
