Grimes and Jamar

if there is any problem and I mean ANY problem with Grimes, do not play him, he is the most important player we have.

He has future captain written all over him and I don't want him being another ang christou, garry lyon (lingering back problems) because they play him for the rest of the year.

    i just hope it is precautionary with Grimes like you are all assuming. Id like some word from the club on how serious it is. All good and well him not playing to assist us with the picks but not if his back is serious again.

    The biggest shame out of this is that Paul Johnson is going to get another game for Melbourne on the back of pretty uninspiring performances at Casey, simply because Jamar is injured.

    Grimes being listed as having a back problem is worrying too. Hopefully we just rest him for a week or two and it's nothing serious. But I really was hoping he'd keep playing this year to build up fitness and confidence at AFL level.

    Totally agree with this...Grimes has been a revelation in a backline that has.. well..had issues for a while. There is no point in playing anyone with back related soreness let alone a history of it..he is too important even for Supercoaches!! (I have Cheney on my bench too)

    This does make the list management process a lot easier -- it's probably a blessing really. In terms of influence on the side, those two would be in the top couple in recent weeks.

    Now PJ and someone like Valenti can pop back in to the side. All we need to do is drop Robbo for Miller or Newton and our list management is done for the week.

    Hey Nasher, what are you like in the coaches box?....

    I am afraid my subtlety interpreter is (permanently) broken and I have no idea what you mean :(

    he's telling you to get in the box and coach us. Brilliant tanking tactic as far as I'm concerned- supporters coaching for a day!

    For the next 3 weeks we should play both PJ and Spencer. This leaves us one running player short (as Grimes is injured). Jurrah should be played on a wing for his development with Bartram taking the kick-ins Bruce, Green and Davey should be rotated off the bench with none of them having more than 60% playing time. Overall keep the rotations down so the players a totally knackered before they come off. I also think Robbo should be taught a lesson and be played in defence to help improve that side of his game.

    I was referring to your list management strategy Nasher. Because I agreed with it, I thought well, you may as well coach.

    Thanks Jaded for the interpretation. You can be his assistant. :)

    Ha, me and him working together in the coaches box might just be the perfect solution to our dilemma. I guarantee that the only winning moves you'll see on matchday will involve me going to the bar. :lol:

    Wouldnt surpsirse me if the Dees take a precautionary tact and possibly Grimes wont return to AFL til round 21 after a couple of runs in the Magoos..just to be sure ;)

    Young Grimes is a major asset for the Melbourne Football Club. The selectors would be derelict in their duty if they selected him while there was the slightest risk to his back.

    Sounds like Travis' career approach.

    We might just see Newton in for Robbo this week, Nasher.

    After Bailey has mentioned that Robbo has been out of form the last couple of weeks.....it could well be on the cards.

    Mmm, especially for the fact that Peter German gives Newton consistently glowing match reports.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
