Might have been handy with the Grundy news... But not to be it seems
GOLD Coast is working through last-minute plans for Wednesday's NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft after ruck target Michael Knoll failed a recent medical screening.
AFL.com.au understands a scan on Knoll's knee revealed damage relating to a PCL injury he sustained while he was listed by Sydney from 2019-2020.
The Suns had been circling the now-Norwood ruckman for several weeks as cover for a decimated ruck department that has lost Jarrod Witts and youngster Matt Conroy to ACL injuries this season.
However, despite reports over the weekend that the Suns would select Knoll, it is now expected they will look elsewhere.
