Latest word is Grundy will slip to North at 15 as the Roos now lack ruck depth behind Goldstein.

Hope not!

Richmond would be stupid not to take him at 9 ! What we need right there!

I'll be disappointed if we don't take this guy at 9.

Agree wholeheartedly Magic.

Good midfielders come up in large numbers.  Top class rucks are few and far between.  This guy is a two time AA.  He hasn't fluked a good game here and there!!!

Hope we pick him just for the lols when he doesn't touch the footy at VFL level.

One would think he would be taken in the first 10 picks 
According to our mate Emma Qualye, Grundy to pies as far as pick 20.... eewwkk just tasted vomit in my mouth 

20. COLLINGWOOD - BRODIE GRUNDY
Sturt.
18, 202cm, 100kg.
Aggressive, competitive ruckman who can go forward and take marks.
THE RATIONALE: He's simply to good to leave sitting there. As a bonus, the Pies' ruck stocks could do with an additionor two.
THE COMPLICATION: He could have gone anywhere from 14 onwards. If Grundy isn't there, Western Jet Spencer White could be the big bolter. Collingwood would like him at 39, but may get nervous that Richmond will pinch him at 34.

[Mr Magic]

Some late mail according to Quayle that we're possibly looking at Grundy now. Fingers crossed.

I cant believe anyone in top 10 could overlook this guy, he is a game breaker and will be ready to go first season. There will be decent mids remaining at 30..... We gotta get grundy

Is he ready to go? I don't recall many ready to go 18 yo ruckmen who are "ready to go", but am happy to be proved wrong.

We love picking up ruckmen then lose patience with them waiting for them to mature. That is something we are very good at.

The Ivan Maric experience is the way to go, pick up a mature ruckman at 24/25 who has done the hard yards and we give them a shot. Comments??

i have serious doubts he is ready to go.
If we were prepared to play two rukmen perhaps, as he seems to be able to win his fair share of taps.

As a forward he kicks goals against kids, but not at senior SANFL level.

he is only relatively new to footy so there should be a lot of upside, but i have read somewhere he still has a lot to learn in terms of positioning himself around the ground and reading the play.

Barring injury to maric he would be competing with vickery for that forward/ruck spot and if vickery could regain some of his 2011 form then you would expect it would be a season or two before he gets a look in.
