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.

    TJ is a hack

    Got carved up by Lynden Dunn

    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.

    exactly, take it easy on Grimes, he hasn't played a game and there are people on this site already calling him a future Captain?????????? :wacko:

    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.

    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 ? ;)

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
