He's an absolute gun. Admittedly I didn't see much of him when we played West Coast, just as I didn't see much of him the week before when he played in the VFL, and yet his possessions and Supercoach stats are always extremely high. Maybe a move to the middle when we regain our injured defenders? Who knows, but it's exciting considering we have Bennell and Grimes and Frawley and Garland running out of our back-line...

Has footy smarts, and can read the play well. Good kick on him too. Shows leadership qualities. Required player.

you missed tough as nails for a young player as well! For me thats the most exciting - his attack on the contest!

Yeah, contrary to the misguided posting of some, and the particularly nice aspect is that he seems to have no preferred foot.

In a crowded midfield this often means an effective disposal rather than a desperate handball to a team=mate under the hammer.

I get the feeling that Grimes will be that special type of player (throughout his career) who steps up when the team is going bad and can turn things.

John Worsfold type? But better.

Grimes showed some good signs against the Eagles. He's worth another run this week.

Jack "Frank Grimey" Grimes shows a lot of promise & ability. He's also got good Smarts from what i can see. I really enjoyed watching the West Coke Game.

We are going in the right direction.

He's only played 2 games but is already an automtic inclusion in our side when fit, that's why he came back in to side even though he didn't do an awful lot for Casey against Coburg the week before, it was just about him getting match fit. With Grimes and Watts developing and having players like McLean, Moloney, Miller, Rivers, Green and Davey on our list we are looking very good as far as leaders and potential captains for the future go. Add to that the potential recruitment of Scully and hopefully Dylan Grimes aswell at pick 18??

I'm firmly on his bandwagon too :wub:

(45, I'm watching you... Grimes gets injured and it's on your head <_< <_< <_< )

it also seems as if another player could enter the top 3. allen christensen from geelong falcons. He averaged 28 touches, and over a goal a game and is half aboriginal by the look of him. looks like daniel kerr. hard at it too. he was mentioned by shifter on 'tac stars on the rise' as the best player in the tac cup in his opinion. big wraps

Did hear about him on sunday to. Maybe if we come 15th only winning 4 games then we can look at him at pick 3. Scully & Christensen in the midfield would be nice to see.

I discussed Butcher and Scully with a prominent player manager on Sunday. He's not sure where Butcher presently fits in the draft but in his opinion there's Scully, a big gap, and then the rest. Said that if he ends up at Melbourne he'll Captain the club at a young age. Will be an absolute star.

At the risk of taking this thread off topic the two best kids this year may well be midfielders, Morabito and Lucas are over in the West look very good. Next time you talk to him ask about these two please.

Christensen seems like a gun. Shifter also mentioned that Christensen is related to Long and Rioli, so fair pedigree (I think his dad played for Geelong?). Was BOG in the first 3 rounds of TAC, and 'just' good in the other games too. Wouldn't be displeased if we nabbed him.

I'll try to remember, but I suspect he won't put them in Scully's class. His exact comment was "Scully is the best kid in Australia. There's Scully, a big gap, and then the rest".

I knew he was highly regarded but I didn't realise that the gulf was that big, this just reinforces my belief that we cannot afford to win more than 4 games this season.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
