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

    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.

    This really does suck! Hopefully it's not too bad.

    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.

    SEN reported that they are fairly confident it is not a dislocated or broken shoulder/collarbone so hopefully just a stinger, he is due for some luck!

    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

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
