There's now a minor controversy, after somebody photographed the whiteboard that contained the Brisbane assessment of the Essendon players strengths and weaknesses, and then released it via social media.
I find some of them quite amusing: a blank space for McKay's strengths and it looks like they decided that Prior's strength was his girlfriend.Comment

This is an interesting round so far with several close games. Draw, 12 points, 1 point, Richmond up by 4 at 3/4 time and North Melbourne leading Geelong by 1 in the third quarter.
Then there's Essendon being Essendon, losing by 64 points."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Every club does this, but the McKay one had me in hysterics.There's now a minor controversy, after somebody photographed the whiteboard that contained the Brisbane assessment of the Essendon players strengths and weaknesses, and then released it via social media.

A real sliding doors moment for our club that one. Because he was dumb and greedy, and we weren’t prepared to go anywhere near Essendon’s offer, we dodged a bullet. Plus, my understanding is once he actually visited the club and left people deeply unimpressed, we all but withdrew our interest. Complete opposite to what happened with Grundy - once everyone met him, we went pulled out all stops.Comment

I haven't heard that much of Grundy speak, but he's supposed to be highly intelligent, with some esoteric intellectual pursuits. Which isn't exactly your stereotypical ruckman. Perhaps a bit like Reilly O'Brien, who has a masters in neuroscience, or something similar.
