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.

    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.

    I kid, I kid...

    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

      On 29/02/2012 at 01:31, why you little said:

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
