He was going very well, then did his hammy at the start of the third quarter. At least he'll have a long preseason to recover.

yeah. l was down on the wing and l reckon he was doing okay till he did his hammy

something must be wrong with pettrd only 3 games this year and looks out of sorts again, what is the problem with him?

Bit harsh I think. Struggled with injury all year and as you say has only played 2 or 3 games this year. Was a good idea to give him a run today just to get a taste again and I doubt too much was expected of him. Full pre season will do him good. Must admit he looks like he has put on a few kg`s which is good and will put 3 or 4 more on over summer!

Yet again another spray from some illiterate asking what the problem is.

He is a kid who nearly died playing for your football club and who in 2008 has overcome injury to press for selection.

He made it, as he will in the long run. Go bark elsewhere 'juice.

Lung injury, barely no preseason = low base of fitness.

Then why the f**k play him? There was no need to play two kids (Grimes) who have had injury interrupted seasons today. Why risk them?

The experience will be helpful come Round 1, 2009. Mainly in the case of Grimes.

Experience? What if Grimes had of aggravated his back today, in a 'who cares' last game of the season? I'm sorry if no one agrees with me, but ONE game at the end of a miserable winter, does not constitute experience IMO.

If there was a chance of aggrivation then he wouldnt of played.

Does it really matter that Grimes played his first game. Would you of rathered seeing Weetra out there?

No, Bate, Dunn, Martin. I just think players should earn their spot as well. Just cos they were taken highly in the draft, doesn't mean they should automatically be played. I think DB may have been trying to appease supporters. I'd prefer to have seen him Rd. 1 next season, thats all.

He was one of Sandringhams best last week...

I fold!

And so you should.

Grimes worked his butt off to recover from injury, complete his own version of a pre-season and he earnt a senior game because of it. He deserves to be rewarded for effort, plus giving him a taste now means he can get that nervous first game out of the way and concentrate really hard on what he now knows he needs to improve on.

There was nothing pointless about giving Grimes a game today. There are a handful of other players who were far less deserving of a game and who haven't worked nearly as hard as Grimes has to just make it onto the field this year.

Oh by the way. Re Draft Molan is a joke amongst a few of my mates who are also Dees supporters. We found it bewildering/amusing, the club 're-drafted' Luke after delisting him. Perhaps they thought he had improved in the 2 months he was not at the club. It's nothing personal against Luke, maybe a dig at the Footy dept. for wasting 2 draft picks.

    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
