Get on board - Grundy is the real deal

[Auntie.Gerald]

theres hope for Lewis Johnston yet

[giant]

Quality tall defenders are like gold dust in this competition - and with Reg's improvement we've now got four solid ones. It staggers me that the Hawks didn't try to exchange Ben/JK for a Richards or Grundy - how useful would they be right now? And as teams come up against our forward line of White, Goodes, Bradshaw and perhaps a ruckman, they'll be pretty envious of a team that can keep Richards in the ressies.

Interesting to see that Reg is getting plenty of attention from the commentators now - they're generally about 12 months slower than the fans!!

agreed

[Hartijon]

I was completely wrong about Reg,saw him as slow,fumbling, indecisive and a turn over merchant. Wow! Look at him now! What did the true believers see in him ,you guys were spot on! I am now a big fan of Reg and duly humbled by my mistake.(Also wrong about McVeigh,)

[Matty10]

I wasn't a believer either - he was very frustrating to watch (still is from time to time, but is clearly getting better, I find myself applauding his efforts much more now - I used to lament them). As giant said, quality tall defenders are extremely valuable and can really be the foundation towards a quality side. Well done Grundy.

I wonder if 'Bear' is on the bandwagon yet. Definitely his harshest critic.

As is normal with harshest critics, they tend to go into hibernation when their predictions/opinions prove to be astray.

Very fitting....lol

Yeh fair enough Grundy had a slow start to the season, but has everyone forgot that he came back early from a back injury and was his first hit out since last year!
I think he is just starting to get his for back with a good 8 goals in the two's.
Another thing a lot of people have forgotten that he was not drafted to play forward, he was picked up for a backman, so he has done well to change the selectors minds. Edit Post Reply Reply With Quote Blog this Post

Umm. No. I think most of us knew he'd been injured after putting in a solid pre season, until struck down by injury. But that doesn't give reason to why he barely sighted the ball in his 3 games so far this year.

If he was still suffering from the injury, he shouldn't be in the seniors.
In case of emergency, give beer.

For those who think I'm too hard to buy for,
You obviously don't know where the Beer shop is. Reply Reply With Quote Blog this Post

That is about the fourth thread he has either started or participated in in favour of grundy.

I'm a big fan of skiddie, but fair dinkum.

WHEN HEATH GRUNDY FIRST MADE THE SWANS LIST I SAID HE IS A BETTER DEFENDER THAN ATTACKER AND PEOPLE JUMPER OVER MY CASE. I THINK HE HAS PROOVEN A LOT OF ALL THE AFL COMMUNITY THAT HE IS AND ACTUALLY 'FOOTBALLER' RATHER THAN ATHLETE.
