    is already a better player than Trappa. We have done vwry well there. The lions are welcome to him

    He is a gun. He is already in our top half-a-dozen players and has to be the next captain, next year or year after next. Is next year too early? He'll only be 21 at the start of next year. He would be up to it no doubt.

    When he gets the ball, he just has vision, poise and seems to find time with the ball like the great players do. I feel as confident when the ball is in his hands as I do when it's in Greeny's or Flash's. In fact he's probably our third best player behind Davey and Green, truth be told. Well Sylvia, Jurrah, maybe Moloney might have something to say about that, but it shows the class of J. Grimes that at 20 and after just 15 games, he's already held in that regard. Bloody champion. He's gonna be our next Todd Viney. Maybe even better.

    grimes is playing some unbelievable footy...the kid is a superstar. he killed allan didak last week. he just looks like davey coming out of the backline.

    i know i'm jumping the gun in saying this...but many people say he's the next captain in waiting...i would be happy to give macca another year based on his current performance...and if grimes continues his current form you'd have to seriously consider him...if he played every game this year and next...that would make him a 50 gamer....would people be happy to give him captain after playing 50 games and being at the club for 4 years? I would...

    Very easy to forget that he is so young, and has only played 15 odd games.

    I know there was a push for him to go into the midfield, but I am beginning to think that he plays so well in the backline that moving him would be a mistake.

    Its amazing to think he hasn't even played 20 games yet. His poise and courage defies his age. After Brad green's stint as captain Its all yours Jack.

    I LUV JG & ALL THE PLAYERS TODAY-- WELL DONE YOU BEAUTIES :wub:

  • Quote

    Jack took a huge hit, front on, during the game but just got up and tackled the player that hit him, I was stunned to see him even get up. He is a very classy player and I haven't seen a better pair of hands in our backline for such a long time, you know when he flies for a mark he will take it. Captain, yes but I wold love to see Brad Green get a couple of years first he leads from the front and is still our best player.

  • Quote

    I saw him wear a nasty front on bump which took the wind out of him on the wing - he was all courage - love to watch him coolly regain order on half back and use the ball well

  • Quote

    It's going back a while, but I think he's the best player in that position we've had since the sure handed and ultra classy Brett Lovett.

    I think he'll end up being an absulte superstar. They should just leave him where he is and not chop and change his position too much.

    He has the ability to dominate and control half back for the next 10 years.

    Grimes and Davey are our elite players at the moment and would get a game at any tope 4 side in the AFL.

    Ha. It was late.

    Obviously, I meant 16 fits like a glove.

    He fies under the radar, people are happy about him, satisfied he's on his own way. No help needed to steer his journey.

    He plays unassuming, so people treat him the same way. Quite normal really.

    Yeah I think this is right. Brad Green's only just turned 29, he has this and two more seasons at his peak for sure, and could play on for a season or two after that (until 32 or 33). Junior Mc has shown that this obsession with thinking that players can't perform once they are past 30 is nonsense. Greeny could seriously play close to 300 games. And it would benefit Grimes not to give him the captaincy until he was 23 or 24 and had 100 games under his belt I think. Changed my tune a little bit, but I think captaining a group of men at 21 or 22 is too young, mid- to late-20s is better. Ah so excited about the future I could crap on about us all day!

    4th in the league for bounces.

    And even after Moloney bounced it 15 times in the space of 45 metres in the dying seconds yesterday! Moloney's a brilliant bouncer as we saw, but Brent, you are allowed roughly 15 steps, not just three of four!

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
