Jack Grimes should be good to go in four to five weeks.

Says who? This list has reported such rumours for the past 4-6 weeks, including quotes from Grimes that he will be good in '2 weeks'

I don't have a good feeling about him ever playing. :angry:

So much for the reports he was going to be back on the list soon.

Beamer, Neitz, Robbo and maybe Rivers.

2 weeks in the VFL and then we should be letting him loose in the AFL. The young man lives and breathes Melbourne. Seriously it would not surprise me if he used to have a user account on demonland.com

Believe it. He has been out on the track @ the junction oval in the last few weeks doing light work, a first for his season I believe.

He was in the coaches box @ Sandy on the weekend, I've not seen him there before so it seems to me that he is nearing a time when he may get a light run in sandy seconds. It'll be good to see him go around.

From all reports will be worth the wait.

Stay tuned for a crowd favourite to be unleashed.

If anyone questions what this club stands for it will manifest itself in this kid. The boyhood dream of playing for a club that he loves. That is what the Melbourne Football Club stands for and what most of us that were never any good fantasize about.

My old man spoke to him at the Heroes function, told him that he would be 2-3 weeks away. He has been sufferring from stress fractures in his lower back, he said that the club believed that his kicking action was to blame. Unusual injury for a footballer, more commonly associated with cricketers, and in particular, fast bowlers.

Here's hoping he can get his body right and get a couple of games under his belt, would love to see him in the Red & Blue before the end of the season...

He will be a superstar!!!

Mark my words.

he is fearless. We will worship him the same way the kangaroos worshipped Glenn Archer.

Jack Grimes will be simply awesome.

Combine the way he plays with the fact he followed the Demons growing up, and you are gonna see a hell of a player.

What is the hurry??

The season is shot, why rush him back. If naything, we want to have an ace or two up our sleeve for next season. Unveiling a gun young player next season would be fantastic.

I hope he plays this year, but why rush him? Get him fit for next season!!!

For the love of all that is red and blue, what has gotten into supporters lately?

The kid is still going through puberty. He has been on the list for less than a year. He has a problem with his back and rightly so the club is being VERY cautious with him. How incredibly idiotic would it be if we rushed him, and caused permanent damage?

I believe that he is now doing a modified version of a pre-season, given he didn't do one at the start of the year and when he's finished, he'll be physically ready to play some football.

If it takes 2 weeks, if it takes the rest of the year, it will make no difference to his long term career at the MFC if we can manage his problem and get it right.

We're getting our arses kicked at the moment. Why inflict more pain on the child than necessary?!

Apparently Jack's younger brother is 10cm. taller, and equally talented. Also barracks for the Demons!

I don't think he's old enough for next year's draft, so we can't copy Perth and Adel. teams and keep Jack under wraps.

It'll be interesting to see how they turn out.

I'm happy just for Grimesy to ease back into footy this year and perhaps play a couple of games with Sandy, then next year concentrate on building his fitness level up and playing some consistent games, let's not burden him with greatness just yet.

I'll be making an effort to watch Grimesy this week.

I think he'll be something special, and I should have a match report for you all come monday.

Good reply Jaded. We have at least a few years ahead of us before this team will deliver.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
