Grundy would set up our ruck stocks for the next 10-12 years , I know were singing out for midfield depth but IMO there are still plenty workhorse mids available with our next 3 picks. We would be foolish to pass up on this kid..........Maric, Grundy, Vickery and Elton there's the future right there
Grundy Highlights for those who haven't seen them.....

Agreed. Best available is the clubs motto and if Grundy is there at 9 we will pick him up unless somehow miraculously Macrae is still available. JVT I'm not sold on Vlastuin. I think we need a bit of x_factor to get us over the line in the close ones.
Agree with you 100%, I'm not keen on Vlastuin either considering who else will be available. Doesn't have that X-Factor. He is good at everything, not excellent and no glaring weaknesses. The others (Grundy, Macrae, Stringer and Garner) all have that X factor about them and are preferred in my books over Vlastuin. My order of best available would go like this (in terms of who has been rumoured to 'slip' to 9):
Grundy
Macrae
Stringer (below Macrae due to attitude and the broken leg he suffered last year)
Mayes
Garner
Membrey /Vlastuin
If Grundy is there, he is an absolute must. Would be more than please, if he is taken, we pick up one of Macrae, Stringer, Mayes and Garner over Vlastuin. I like Membrey as well, has a bit of Jack Darling about him.
