According to the Herald Sun Jack Grimes has injured his back and won't play round 1.

It is a different part of the back which is injured. So at least it isn't flaring up in the same spot.

I don't know how to post the article on here, but it was in todays sun, page 83 in the Footy Shorts section titled "Grimes Back Woe".

    This is why we didn't pick up Tom Swift or Jackson Trengove.

    There's only a 16k difference between Grimes and Petterd in SC. I'll make that trade.

    But it's a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing him out there. Hopefully it's just a few weeks.

    Yeah me too. And I had Gumbleton as well.

    You read my mind. I made the change as soon as I read that Grimes was injured.

    haha fair call, but there's not a lot of value around the 200k mark.

    I have Gumbleton as well, but if Thompson from Port gets elevated off the rookie list, he could be a steal at 96k.

    I don't think Petterd will rack them up all that much in SC, if you look at his previous stats and watched him play in the praccy games he doesn't get a lot of it. Based on his NAB Challenge form I don't even have him in our best 22, I think he needs a run at Casey to get some touch and confidence back.

    I much preferred Grimes' scoring potential, the way he was going he looked as though he could easily score 70-80+ each week.

    I think Frawley may be a bit of an SC smoky this year also, I'd probably pick him before Petterd based on current form.

    So, we're all more concerned about SC and DT points than whats the real issue here?

    Grin. I've always been a little perplexed at the interest, but horses for courses.

    Hopefully Grimes is back at it for the MFC sooner rather than later - I've been looking forward to seeing him cement his spot and kick on.

    I'll confirm I've seen it in the paper, but it was just a small subheading in Punchlines or something similar.

    Barely even a paragraph, so I doubt you'll find an article on the tinternet

    i actually cant believe people are that concerned about fantasy footy and not about Grimes' wellbeing and his playing future.

    i used to sit with with a mate taht was like you blokes, once we were being flogged all his talk turned to praising and watching opposition players to see how his Drem Team was fairing. I couldnt give a hoot about that.

    so does anyone know any more info on Grimes/ or have we drafted another one of thos blokes who sits on our list and never plays senior footy????? :angry: :angry:

    Chill out mate -- its very early in his career; the kid could still be anything. No one knows.

    Hurry up & wait.

    Ironic, isn't it? That Swift, my pick for our PP, killed it for the Eagles, and a guy that's been on the list for a year is the one getting taken out of sides. Grimes had no extreme problems with his body before he was drafted either, from memory.

    Wait and see I guess... no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater... but I am getting sick of this club's injury list.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
