Second quarter of the Casey game today, and Grimes has pulled his hamstring again. You'd think unless we go deep into finals, that will be his year.

    LOL! Poor Grimesy. Can't take a trick that bloke! It's laughable because it's just so unlucky for the poor guy.

    Recurring hamstring injuries for a young player who relies on pace... Some of the more negative news for the year.

    like aaron davey in his second year

    I think he kind of does one every year doesn't he? I've noticed he's lost a yard or two since those days...

    He is ok.

    As reported by KC from Casey in the Casey thread... Grimes was on the bench for all of the 2nd quarter after trainers worked on his hamstrings.

    He is not ok...

    KC from casey also stated he doesnt know one way or the other, could be a precaution

    Cmon guys, can we get the facts right here?

    As far as I would gather if 'they', the trainers spent a qtr working on his hammy then he most likely has not done the hammy again, otherwise why would they bother working on it? It would be iced and he would be done.

    Either way.... it looks like his hammy's are still fragile - won't be seeing him again this year one could say.

    Grimes in tracksuit, definitely favouring a leg.

    Big turn out of players. Trenners, chip, petterd, judy, spence, tapscott, gawn and mckenzie. Plus coach and tim Harrington

    If of interest spoke to garland who said Bruce will go to hodge and gawn said his knee will be fine, pulled up well

    If it helps any, my source is a pretty damn good one... But in his words he said Grimes had "re-done" his hamstring. Take from that what you will, be it a strain or a pull blown tear... who knows?

    Done for the year.

    Hoping for a strong recovery so he can put in a full preseason.

    :(

    What a joke. Poor kid spends 6 weeks on the sidelines then pulls is again straight away.

    This news both sucks and blows.

    Jack may be right to play in China in October.

    So is anything in this thread correct?

    I like to think Demonlanders get it right more often than the HUN, who on the Casey/Bullants reports: Melbourne-listed Cale Morton pressed his claims for a recall to the Demons, while Jack Grimes got through his return game unscathed.

    The HUN got it terribly wrong.

    I was at the game on Saturday and spoke to Jack, he said he 'tweaked' the hammy and it was 'better' if he sat the rest of the game out.

    Should I be surprised?

    Interesting. My apologies if I got this one wrong.

    It's pretty bad news, but I wouldn't say Grimesy relies on his pace.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
