Brodie Grundy’s brother denied $70k car

Despite the knocks, Hughes played out Thursday night’s game and attended the post-match function, but his wife rushed him to hospital early the next morning when she realised he was not well. Allies coach Shane Crawford jokingly urged his players to physically target Hughes in a televised pre-match address. The comedian came off second best in a contest with West Coast premiership player Embley, was pushed to the ground by Gorringe at a centre bounce, then kicked a goal and was toppled by Robinson as he celebrated. Crawford said he asked Hughes post match whether he was OK, and had reached out to him on Friday. “I sent him a message saying, for starters, not many get through a game with broken ribs, so you are in very rare company. Obviously, I hope he is OK,” Crawford said. “We definitely don’t want anyone getting injured.”

Brodie Grundy’s brother denied $70k car The brother of star ruckman Brodie Grundy has missed out on winning a $70,000 car despite finishing on top of the AFL Fantasy competition because the league’s organisers discovered he was related to a current player. Kyerin Grundy believed he would land first prize – a new Toyota Hilux – after outsmarting and outplaying more than 150,000 registered teams, including a late-season decision to trade his Sydney-based sibling into his side.

A disappointed Grundy said he was led to believe he could land the car when he was invited to join the AFL’s official fantasy podcast earlier this month to explain the success of his team and chances of winning. Loading One of the podcast’s hosts, Warnie, said to him during the interview: “Hopefully we can all go for a ride in the Hilux.” The podcast was promoted on the AFL’s website. Grundy was also the subject of an article that appeared on the AFL website before it was later removed. “They would have known I was going to win a prize of some sort and then no one said anything until the Monday (which) was disappointing,” Grundy told Seven.

“I think it went to their legal team, and they’ve then decided that under the immediate family rule, that I’m not eligible for the prizes, and that also, they were unaware of me being on The Traders podcast, and they took it down as soon as they realised. “So they’ve just sort of totally just blown it off. I don’t even know if they’re going to still recognise me as the overall winner or if someone else is the overall winner.” The AFL Fantasy organisers sent Grundy a follow-up email on Thursday to clarify their position.
