Grimes injured

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.

Having had two shoulder reco's myself I agree with above, although I'm no doctor.

Wonder how many more seasons this guy can miss until the Dees de-list

You realise he is the captain, yeh?

They wouldnt delist this guy until he was 50

Good summation, we just have to wait for Pringle or others to comment further.Rotten luck all the same.

Just personal opinion, but having a look at those photos, not much in it.

He'll be right to go Rd. One.

Maybe he'd have better luck if he followed the path of the original Grimey and grabbed some 20,000V cables?

isnt Missons job to make sure our injury list is reduced? to be honest it dosn't look any shorter then last year...

Nothing Misson can do about impact collisions like Grimes had and wrist injury that Jurrah has. Same goes with Spencer and Gawn. These sorts of injuries can't be helped - it's just a case of bad luck.

Interesting tidbit when reading afl report that Melbourne club doctor Dan Bates attended to him.

That is first reference I could see to replacement for our previous crew

I love the fact that Bleese still took the mark despite close attention from Grimes and Davis.

And the fact we have co-captains. Smart move that....

Dees Fan #1: So Trengove is Captain?

Dees Fan #2: Nah, he'll be Co-Captain with Grimes.

Funny but I always consider Grimes a "bonus" player

When attempting to see how I think we will go over a year I never include him in my calculations.

If we get 6- 7 games then they are a bonus.

It is just disappointing that it has happened so early in the year in 2012.

Does not really effect where the Dees will finish IMO.

Of course in the long term I don't know how you can have a captain who does not get onto the park.

Unfortunately you are very close to the mark.

This weekend it looks like Frawley?

Green may get the job back!

We always seem to have terrible luck in the pre-season. It is an absolutely painful few months before the H&A season starts.

And we are now without Jurrah for at least a month too.

Bleh.

it was a theoretical, and i dont think any team would keep a player whose injured more then 5 years straight

The $1000 a year you speak of helps keep the club competitive and to be able to pay top $ for coaches.

But if you would rather give that money to Rupert Murdoch it is your choice.

But it is plain to see you do not have a true passion for the club.

It also helps pays for Missus Clarks studies

Isn't she doing medicine?

Club doctor in 10 years?

Its an investment :D

Grimes walking off in a sling is a scare though, lets hope its minor.
