A day in the life of Demonland has been perfectly captured in this thread. Time capsule stuff.

Let me preface this by saying that I am leader of the Jack Grimes fan club. I simply love the man. But to all those here on Demonland- Stop Bloody Whinging. Every team has injuries. EVERY TEAM. B

Just heard on the radio that it is not as bad as first thought. It was said that the injury doesn't seem too bad.

Looking forward to an official statement from the club website but a radio report is promising (sort of).

This is bull! He litterally picked up where he left off in GC, and now this?!

Hoping and praying it's nothing serious, we just don't seem to have any luck come our way when we finally get a gun!

F this S. If it's serious then it will be the last piece of evidence to prove the footy gods just plain hate us.

P_man there are no such things.

And we are talking about Grimes I find it difficult to be surprised.

Now that does not mean I am not dissappointed but hardly surprised.

Hopefully he has some luck and it's one of those ones where everyone has overreacted and we all have a laugh.

If it's serious, well, that's just horrible for him. Worst timing ever.

But we've got players that can play his role, perhaps not as well, but we've replaced him many times before and we can do it again.

It could always be worse.

Yes It can always be worse

Like it or not we have to have success without Grimes because he is brittle and unfortunately relieing on Grimes is not a good plan.

I wasn't aware Grimes had a history of injured shoulders.

you are right he does not, he did not have a history of broken bones in his foot either.

Just seems to get a lot of long term injuries and the list lengths with every passing year.

Whatever the reason he has had a number of long term injuries for his short time in the Game.

Some players are just unlucky. I remember people saying how injury prone Moloney was a few years ago even though all his injuries were unrelated to each other.

Nathan Jones has missed around four games since being drafted. He broke his back, the difference was he did it in the last game of the year, some are just luckier than others.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
