Grimes injured

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Apparently hurt his shoulder in a collision?

Better not be dislocated or collarbone.

Anyone know anymore?

This is what gets me upset when you lose top players before the season it could hurt bad and sen just said jurruh will have to come back through the v.f.l this is really not looking good lets hope that grimes has not done much damage

[Gippy Dee 48]

What I hope is that it isn't too bad and that he can return by either Rd 1 or at least in the first 4 rounds.

Man, so unlucky.

I want to finally be at a game and wear my Number 16 Guernsey and actually see him play...

Anyone actually at training this morning who can fill in any details?

[Allen Jakovich 516]

This is scary, hanging on more news. If it's serious that is so devastating for both him and the team.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Can't say it wasn't expected, but still incredibly disappointing.

Left shoulder? Collarbone?

GET F'ed!

This is beyond a joke. FFS!!!!

[McQueen 17,867]

Hard to say by looking at the photo's as to whether it was Davis hitting him from behind or when he hit the deck.

Didn't look dislocated.....Might just be bruised

My hands are wringing!!

[titan_uranus 25,042]

I'm trying very, very hard to not be upset about this.

Of course it could be nothing. But if he's injured again...

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Having done 5 shoulder dislocations in my footy so far.. only 22 .. it doesnt look like a dislocation more just a stinger or a sublax.

Sublax shouldnt be more then a few weeks, all it is when he hit the ground the shoulder would have moved in the socket a bit and goes a stiff and you can't lift your shoulder above your head.

I would be very suprised if the physio was doing that on the ground if he actually dislocated it or broke the collar bone. The collar bone break normally sticks out and they would know right away.

I am thinking this was just a minor impact injury and afl.com.au getting all up and about cause they had people there watching training.

If I am right, expect him back for round 1 at the latest.

So, assuming he is unavailable for Saturday's game (although the pics are pretty inconclusive), who will lead the team?

Going through that slideshow (footy in cartoon form) I don't think it will be too bad.

Give him the praccy games off and see you in a month.

Geez I hope you're right.
