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.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
