Nothing was getting out.


Did you notice that the leaks out of North have stopped since Glenn Luff left the building?

Blocking leaks are one thing but announcing contract extensions, they should be shouting from the rooftops!

PORT SET TO MAKE ‘MAJOR PLAY’ FOR GRUNDY

The Power are set to make a “major play” for Collingwood star Brodie Grundy, according to 7 News Adelaide.

Port Adelaide has been among the clubs linked to the ruckman along with Melbourne, Geelong, GWS and Hawthorn. Grundy is contracted at the Magpies until 2027 on a lucrative deal worth around $1 million per season — a deal Collingwood is reportedly willing to chip in towards for him to play elsewhere.

Of course, potentially strengthening Port’s bid for Grundy is that the dual All-Australian is from South Australia and he considered returning to his home state at the end of 2019 prior to re-signing at Collingwood.

Reports have stated he’s now well settled in Melbourne and that his preference is to stay at Pies, but that his management is open to a trade under the right circumstances.

It comes as Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury declared he hopes to see the 28-year old stay at the AIA Centre, saying “All-Australian ruckmen don’t grow on trees”.

“I mean, All-Australian players in general don’t grow on trees, so yeah I hope Jordy (De Goey) stays, I hope Brodie stays,” he told The Age.

“But it’s the nature of the beast in a sense with free agency and stuff like that it can happen now. It’s what we wanted as an industry. But yeah I would like if both guys could stay.”

Grundy will miss the rest of the season after suffering an ankle setback in his comeback from a PCL injury.

According to Jon Ralph, Essendon are considering offering Cam Zurharr a 5 year deal. Astonishing if true.

On Grundy, you would think he has played his last game there. These long contracts.

I rate Zurhaar even though he has a punchable face.

Ricciuto said this morning if he would punt on it he would put a dollar on the nose Grundy to Melbourne. Maybe his mate Goodwin has let him in on something?

If he was to go to Port what would they do with Lycett and Hayes?

Lycett would still have a fair bit of dollars on his contract


I would have thought Geelong would be a team looking for a quality ruckman the most.

Lycett has a year to go but I think having the pair of them would preserve their bodies and extend their careers a bit, I'm no expert but I'm not sure that Hayes will ever be up to it?
