Jack Grimes

rodent killer
in Melbourne Demons

There would be a media outcry if a Melbourne player won the award and I also suggest the judges will take into account our poor finish. I just can't see the award going to Grimes, I dont think the AFL will let this happen.

I doubt it.

The AFL would be ambivalent on this so long as the player represents the right values etc. Grimes and Rich do that very well.

Thanks for the melodrama anyway.

    They wont give the Rising Star to a Melbourne player, no matter how well young Jack plays for the rest of the season.

    Harsh but its reality.

    If you take your hand off it, it plays Jingle Bells too.

    Not even if he's best for Melbourne 8 weeks in a row? Give me a break!

    If Grimes happens to win the brownlow they cannot give it to Rich? :rolleyes:

    If he has 8 BOG performances even if we lose every game he must be a chance to win the rising star award.

    Any way the rising star award usually is awarded to midfielders, Buddy Franklin did not win the award Delidio did and look at there performances from that point onwards.

    True. Jared Rivers is an exception.

    Grimes can play midfield. He's had a go in the middle.

    But the award is not for future potential though, is it?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
