I think he broke his foot in the first quarter.

Was on crutches post game but no bandage on the foot. You'd think if it was broken he'd have been in hospital getting x-rays and a cast/boot.

Perhaps just bad bruising?

Fingers crossed because I reckon Bail's game today was good enough to give Grimes more runs in the middle.

Navicular is complicated. I hate to make the comparison, but it's similar to Matthew Egan's bad break which in the end, force him to retire.

Dont you dare be saying things like this around here. I dont care if its true, i dont want to hear it!

Grimes has broken his navicular bone. Would be surprised if we saw him back this year.

Where did you hear this news???? How would they know without having done an xray?

Definitely definitely need a source for this. Don't scare us with navicular without backing it up.

Didnt hear what the diagnosis was exactly, but think Richo had said after heading into the rooms it would take too much work to get him back out today, but he would be there next week. Hopefully I heard right..

What do evidence do you base this on?. You need to supply this before making such far reaching statements>>>>>>>>>

I always find it interesting that the worst news from an unknown source, comes from members with a low number of posts :)

I hope you arent stupid enough to think that just because a person has not been a member of this online forum for long means they are not reliable or that their posts have no crediblity.

A lot of people are stupid enough to think that.

DeeTermination, you would be naive if you think that members who have a track record of posting over a longer period of time, and who have a known history of being reliable, are better believed than an unfamiliar member with limited posts, particularly when they post such a comment, and then fail to respond to follow up questions.

This doesn't mean that new members are less reliable or credible, it means the rest of us are unaware how credible they are.

Think of trusting a 4 year old friend versus a recent acquaintance. You may not rule them out, but if unsubstantiated so may not trust them straight up.

All i'm saying is my sources have reported a broken foot - for most of you that know anything about anatomy, a broken foot almost always means the navicular as it is kind of a wedged bone, can't move under pressure and often takes a lot of stress at it's skinniest point. So it's not anything different to a 'normal' broken foot.

And most of the time, a broken foot isn't all that bad, similar to a broken arm or something, wait for the bone to heal, which doesnt take long as it's a very small (but vital) bone. The only issue is the inability to perform any weight bearing tasks.

EDIT: completely understand the mis-trust, been on this thing for not long compared to most of you lot, however love the dees and i wouldn't go around making up [censored] and bull stories just to [censored] off my fellow supporters.

Jimmy Stynes will fix that Bone... B)

No offence, but I hope your source is a fool :lol: Don't know that I could stand another season without Grimes, and I'm sure it would be heartbreaking for him too. Let's hope he's ok.

I appreciate the edit section of your post. I am not saying you are right or wrong with your prognosis however I would have thought that Xrays would have to be done before confirmation. The media had stated early it was an ankle injury.

Have a look at the video of the team singing the song post match.

Grimes joins in, and I can't really tell if he's on crutches. He is definitely not on two crutches, possibly just one.

Can't have a broken foot if he's up singing the song. Anyone who has broken anything from the hip down before would tell you that standing up singing is not top of your priority list. Unless you are really high on Morphine. So fingers crossed!

thanks demonwithin - is that Mr demonwithin, FRACS (Ortho)???

Always glad of an expert opinion and prognosis even before xrays, scans etc.

You must be a wizz!!!!

Did you do Matthew Egan's operation??

Don't pretend to know too much about it but Bruce Reid ( EFC doctor) told me that they always bind ankle/foot injuries to limit swelling unless it's broken in which case they don't.

Someone probably has a microscope to see how the foot is being bandaged post-game

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
