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.

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.

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

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.

Obviously, I meant 16 fits like a glove.

He is just ICE under pressure.

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!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
