    Grundy steps back to go forward

    Heath Grundy doesn't mind where the Swans use him this year, as long as it's on the field

      He should be picked Round 1.

      We've persisted with him and he's starting to show a bit. We might aswell keep him in the side now, given our lack of key position prospects.

          He looks good off half back.

              Full Forward

              If the Lizard MOL fails to improve - he might need to be the potent goal sneak?

                      Many looked better than Snow?

                          Didn't they use the same title for an article previously? For pretty much the same article?
                          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                              You know it's not easy coming up with these quirky headlines...

                              Perhaps "Reg shows Y Fronts are better than backs"?

                                  He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                                      Totaly agree. I dont think he is a champ down back and I reckon he'll get a few kicked on him, but at this stage if I had to chose between Grundy and White as a defender to play on a power forward, I'll take Grundy every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

                                          Brilliant!

                                          Maybe add a paragraph about Hall at the end of it, with a subtitle of "Boxer's back in"?

                                              Reg will get a run this year.
                                              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                                                  Is this the same guy that most people on RWO claimed to be too slow to be a key position backmen last year ?

                                                      Same guy.
                                                      I for one hope he improves, though jury still out for me.
                                                      Really hope Reg Gumby does make it though he been around a while and he really hasnt improved down back or up front.

                                                          I thought Grundy looked much more confident than last year, and definitely much bulkier. Comparing White and Grundy on Sunday as backmen, the former was as loose as could be, and certainly unable to show any speed in cutting off balls coming into Port forwards.

                                                          Assuming Playfair comes back to fitness, he seems the better prospect as a tall forward; with Barry out at the start of the season, and gone at least by next year, a fullback is the essential need.

                                                          I favour him trialing for the balance of practice matches to get some stability to the back 6 for Round 1.
