Here’s what I can share based on recent reporting:
- What Craig McRae said to Brodie Grundy in the SCG boundary exchange: McRae greeted Grundy with a light, friendly line along the lines of “G’day old mate,” in the heat of the moment during the fourth quarter. Grundy described the moment as friendly banter with no edge to it. This exchange was captured after a boundary throw-in and noted by multiple outlets as a casual, sportsmanlike interaction rather than a clash.[1][5]
Key references you can check for more detail:
- 7 News recap of the boundary exchange and Grundy’s recollection of McRae’s line.[1]
- Reporting that the exchange was described as “nothing untoward” and part of the spirit of the game by Grundy.[5][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest variations or quotes from additional outlets and summarize any differing takes.
