Just heard on ABC radio that TJ & J Sherman have been dropped from this weeks squad.

Apparently they didn't turn up to training yesterday..... :rolleyes:

I think Jack Grimes has a much better work ethic. Hopefully he will come good with his injuries and have a long and distinguished career with the MFC.

Thoughts ?

Both "didn't train", not "didn't turn up to training".

Both are injured. TJ was kicking on his non-preferred against the Dogs because of a hamstring injury.

Travis is gone.

Why would you think Grimes has a better work ethic. Travis has been a proven B to A grader a times. Grimes is a 1st year playter without a single statistic to his name.

The curse of MFC has been to over inflate values of players. Lets not load him up early.

I heard it on ABC radio Brisbane 4pm.

Said they were dropped because they did not turn up to training.

Maybe they worded it wrong ? :wacko:

I was only informing what I had heard.

A hack??

Carved up by dunn?

I wouldn't go that far. I'm sure you loved how he played as we all did when he was with us.

It's just his attitude that was the problem.

Whats that saying.... is it 90% of the game is played above the shoulders. He is soft as butter and weak minded. He could have been one of the greats.

Work ethic has nothing to do with statistics.

Trav was one of my favourites at the club but he was lazy at times.......

There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

I am by no means putting pressure on Grimes by saying that hopefully he gets over his injuries and has a long career with the MFC.

On the basis of what? Hasn't kicked a ball in anger.

Get a grip, FFS! :angry:

Mono.... it pays to read the whole thread before getting :angry:

Read my post at 6.27pm above that says - There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

Now.. for the simple people that jump to conclusions :rolleyes: I am talking about attitude and work ethic both of which have to be applied off the field to present it on the field.

As I said earlier TJ was one of my favourites but he was, on occasion, lazy and his attitude and work ethic was questionable both off and on the field.

What I was referring to predominantly was a hope that Grimes (who comes in at the expense of TJ) injuries come good and he has a long career with the Mighty MFC.

We won't know whether the gamble has payed off or not for some time yet. The kid has plenty of time up his sleeve, after all he is not turning 28 this year is he ? ;)

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
