It's fantastic news!!

Grimes was drafted as a ready made prospect, so it'll be great to finally see the kid play.

He comes with some HUGE wraps, with a lot of clubs saying he would have been top 5 bar his recent injuries.

If Grimes is back then don't we have to put another player on the long term injury list to enable Aussie to keep playing (Aussie went on the senior list when Grimes was put on the LTI)?

Moloney and Robertson are both on the LTI list now.

Dont think there will be a problem with Aussie.

Good to see Jack is ready. hope the poor bugger can stay injury free till the end of the year.

Good luck grimes!

I think if he plays this week it will be a half in the 2's and then progress from there, Would love to see him in the seniors by round 21, just hope he can produce some form to get there, but no matter if he does not, just hope he gets his body right and is ready for a full preseason.

Agree with that. This season should now just be for blowing out the cobwebs. I'd set my sights pretty low -- be aiming to be able to run a full game out for Sandy by years end, and put in a full pre-season ready to smash it next year.

This is the most exciting news all year for me. I hope he's able to get a run this week.

Hopefully Bell gets up for this week. I wonder how he'd go with a week off, though. Might be just the thing..? Perhaps I'm just trying to find the bright side.

I'm with you on this one, Nasher.

Best of luck Jack! We'll see you in the seniors in a few weeks!!!

The Dees should put in Maric and Grimes in before Round 18. And Meesen. Lets take a look at em. Give them a taste of AFL, then full pre-seasons for them.

Looking fwd to 2009! Go Dees!

I'm also yearning for Juice!!

I've got a feeling you will be yearning for that Juice for awhile yet!!!

And also would not be surprised if the Juice changes flavours between now and the next time you have a taste (eg. changes clubs)

Massive trade bait IMHO :unsure:

who would a kid that has played 10-15 games, hasnt really set things alight at AFL level, who has questionable commitment to his football career?

juice needs to realise that he has 10 weeks left to not become an AFL reject, not to have to go back to his home town and be known as the guy who couldv'e made the grade, just didnt have the heart...

Great to see him back, i am still sad everytime is see Moloney (season) :(

Yeah me too. Such bad luck, he's seem a top bloke and loves the club more than anything! No doubt he's making his presence felt around the place at training and stuff, since he can't do it on the field.

Well who better for a future captain than someone who not only captained the Vic side, but grew up wearing a Demons jumper? Skill, leadership and his heart beats true for the red and the blue? Sounds perfect to me :)

And, from what I can tell, yes.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89
