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.

    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 confirm I saw it as well, page 83. Mentioned its not the same part of his back which he had troubles with last year

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
