He was the dominant force on the ground tonight. He took Jacobs to the cleaners. 40 hitouts, 33 disposals and one wonderful goal on the run. That is the best game I have seen from a Collingwood ruckman since Peter Moore was at his early peak. I think it is well known that Sidey is my favourite player - yet, on a night when Sidebottom played one of his greatest games, I only had him second-best on ground.

That’s how good Grundy is.


As much as i wanted to give Sidey 5 votes i just had to give it to Grundy.

You can't win a flag without a dominant big guy
Monkey and Jolly are just 2 examples.
Go Grundy.

Apparently Grundy has become just the 2nd Ruckman in the history of the game to have 40+ hitouts, 30+ disposals and a goal in a game. The other was Gary Dempsey in 1980

He's excellent at present. Has been advanced his whole career for a big guy. He is like another midfielder with respect to his clearance work and his kicking for goal is amongst the best at the club.

Ole mate I gave Sidey BOG just as he kept Sloane to 16 ordinary touches but it could have gone either way
Grundy also had 12 clearances 23 contested touches 12 hit outs to advantage and 8 tackles unseen stats for a big man
I'll bet right now we are happy we signed him for the next 3 seasons his next deal will be worth around a million plus a season at this rate

He has this little trick of dropping he drops to his knees in the middle when the contest is on and delivering the ball right into the guts of one of our mid-fielders and currently, his target is Sidey. I wonder if this is a play they\have developed between them at training?

If you added in his clearances, i'm pretty sure it was statistically the greatest ever game by a ruckman.

It’s about time this thread was bumped. The answer is still yes.

Gee, I think I'd still have Pendles up there.
Just because he makes it look so easy, don't be fooled, he is a magician.

The Coach was a huge wrap for Grundy on SEN this morning. He said, amongst a number of compliments, that they’ve actually thought about rucking Cox and playing Grundy as their big-bodied mid but, because of Grundy’s follow up after the ruck contest, they haven’t needed to.

I'd like to see that given a whirl though.
Cox, Grundy, Pendles & Sidey in the guts.

I actually suggested that last year.

This year, Grundy averages 37 hit outs per game which is very good. He wins 55.7% of hitout contests, but only hits an average of 11.7 per game (31.5%)

Max Gawn seems to be the benchmark for hitouts, averaging 47 hitouts @ 35% to advantage

Rory Lobb is the most accurate by hand, averaging 36.8% hitouts to advantage. Grundy is 8th. To be fair, Grundy's career average is 28%, so he's improving, but he needs to.
