No.

Grimes would be the captain when fit, the vice captain would take over when not.

Like all captaincy arrangements. Not complicated.

Why would you expect Grimes to not play games?

The idea of a player being injury-prone is a simple concept for simple people.

Finishing with an insult, at it again E45/Artie/Jack Donaghy. These forums are much better without you.

    Injuries are only an issue if you expect them to continue chronically.

    This is not the case.

    Grimes has had repeated bad runs with injury for his entire career to date. This is fact. How can you state so matter-of-factly that Grimes' body will not continue to let him down?!

    Opinions and feelings are frequently a personal triumph over good thinking. You should try the latter more often.

    You overexaggerate his injury record.

    And how can you state any player's body will not let them down?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
