Jack Grimes - no show pony

So far, Grimesy has been a medical story gone right - good diagnosis, good recovery programme, giving him the chance to do what we knew he can do on the field.

Colin Sylvia is in the same boat, has recovered from some fairly debilitating injuries to play some spectacular footy.

Here's to the dees getting the very best out of our boys and when i think of Colin and Jack's hard work and their achievements so far, i hope that the other Colin can do the same. We have had too many fantastic players cruelly cut down by injury in the past, we should celebrate the ones who make it.

Great read.

Great read.

Hope they can do the same for Garland & Meeson


Great story. Also interesting to read that Grimes will be a designated tagger or 'run with' player, according to Sean Wellman.

He's good enough to play a defensive position in midfield and still pick up 20+ possessions.

Frank Grimes will be a Gun this year...My early prediction!!

:lol: durr

 
:wub:

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Very heartening to read about his dedication and the way he persevered to overcome a debilitating injury (wish he'd lend me some patience!).

As some would say around here, we've been kissed on the dick with this kid! :lol::wub:


:lol:

Really going out on a limb there WYL! :D

Maybe! But if the kid has a chronic back problem each great game he plays will be a beautiful bonus.

We all remember Allen Jakovich but he wasn't with us for that long...Bad backs rarely get better, that's my main concern with Frank.

May I say this kid has his head screwed on properly, works hard at it and is no bludger on the track, unlike Jako. He is also younger and his fitter body will recover better with the added hard work and improvements in physio and core strengthening programs.

While any back injury is a worry, especially if it occurs more than once, Jack is better placed to make it than Jako would ever have been. Let's hope so anyway.

'Why you little', many females and kids , not only in my household read this forum so how about cutting out the so called clever "language". :angry:

This might help even more people enjoy the forum.

You are far from being clever, with that sort of irresponsible dribble.

My apologies...It has been deleted.


Very interesting read. Just goes to show the importance of posture and running technique and how poor posture/technique can affect the back/hamstrings.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
