U/18's TAC Cup review programme

[H_T 2,941]

Did anyone see this today?

I watched a little of it. They had an interview with Dylan Grimes who plays for Vic Metro, younger brother of Jack Grimes. A very level headed kid, much like his brother.

The programme also confirmed via a number of opinions that Tom Scully is the stand out. Was named best for Vic Metro against WA at Subiaco.

Incidentally WA touched up Vic Metro and Sth Aust won easily over Vic Country prior to the Adelaide v North Melbourne game.

A few names running around for WA included 'Winmar', 'Matera', and 'Kickett'....exciting youngsters. Matera kicked 4 incidentally.

[Zarate Kid 20 0]

how old is Dylan Grimes?

good enough to get picked up by us?...or any chance of?

[45HG 1,539]

Isn't he too young for this year's draft?

Incorrect. I think you might have me confused with someone else. I've been pretty much in his corner TBH

Isn't he too young for this year's draft?

Been keeping an eye on this kid Grimes - his birthdate is 16/07/1991 therefore he is eligible for the 2009 Draft.

I've been hoping he stays off the radar and that MFC will pick him up cos he's Jack's brother. I think he'll be just as good as Jack, but a career backman whereas Jack will play in the midfield.

Definitely worth a punt with a later pick, ie. around pick 34. I don't think he'll go before then.

I was a bit worried too when I saw the Northern Knights also had a Glenn Grgic, but it seems he's too young.

we dont need him. he is a crap height at 192cm and we have enuf lanky defenders. Garland, Rivers, Warnock and Frawley are all around 192cm. We dont need Grimes

When drafted he would be 18 years old. He could still grow a bit more, such as Morton has. And by the time he reaches the age of 22 Warnock and Rivers will be 29.

If he's a really, really good player, then we need him.

The "in vogue" height for footballers (of various positions) seems to change every few years. And it changes with the rules...

If we draft a kid who's 192cm now, who's to say, first of all, that he won't grow (like Morton from all accounts)? And who's to say that the average height for midfielders won't be 190cm?

The more I think about it, the more AFL footy is becoming basketball.

Garland is 3 years and 3 months older than Dylan Grimes. When Grimes is 22 Garland will be 25, not 29.

The interview with little Grimes was fantastic. Considering how much I rate Jack I would think he is worth a punt at pick 34.

Jack should get in his ear, tell him to shank a few kicks and give up a few goals. Then pick him up at pick 50/60+.

If he is available at that pick, it may be worth considering. The draft guru said he expects him to get drafted. Still, it's all too early at this stage as to whether at what stage of the draft he is likely to get picked - whether he falls in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th round of the ND. Still speculative.

We must never, ever draft a player that is 192cm ever again. Are there any other bogey heights Freak that we should avoid. Brent Grgic was 188cm, I think Garry Lyon was too.

I think Grgic was born on a leap year, so was Weetra.

We should definitely avoid 192cm players born on a leap year, especially when the moon is in its first phase.

What about the ones who put their left foot first, before their right..?

Hilarious...you say he's a crap height at 192 and then name 4 of our most important backmen at that height. According to your theory we should never have drafted Rivers, Garland, Frawley or Warnock in the first place because they're also the crap height of around 192cm. Seriously some of your posts are laughable. Almost as bad as your rants about Jack Grimes' flawed kicking technique!!

Matthew Panos an athletic, silky-smooth 190cm forward - 2009 draft-able

The football recruiting business is such that sentimentality can't play a part but having seen Dylan Grimes handling the interview on the programme I hope we get the opportunity to draft him. By that I mean that I hope he's in the mix ability-wise when one of our picks comes around. However, there's very few openings for siblings to play together at AFL clubs these days.

Agree. You can tell Dylan would love to play at Melbourne with his brother. Would surely be his dream scenario. But he has as much chance of playing at Melbourne as any other player in the draft based on their individual talent.

I would love to see Dylan and Jack running around together on the G. But I would hate to see the club reach and take him in the draft earlier than he is due just because Jack is his brother.

[Don24 103]

yeah chances of getting him are slim. 1/16 in fact!

Lets hope Essendon draft him in the first round then he leaves after 2 years of development to come play finals with his brother!

[BAMF 3,787]

Garland is 3 years and 3 months older than Dylan Grimes. When Grimes is 22 Garland will be 25, not 29.

Opps! I was suppose to say 'Warnock' and rivers! ill edit it now!
