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!!

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:

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
