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.

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.

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!! :lol:

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
