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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
