50 out of a possible 106. From the same draft Cyril Rioli played his 100th the other night. Grimes has had a terrible run with injuries. Good luck in your 50th Jack & fingers crossed you are injury free for the rest of your career!

    Good to see he hasn't missed any footy this year through injury. Hopefully it continues. I think he has done a really good job as captain and I love the way he plays his footy. Always throws himself in there and will almost always win those 50-50 contests.

    I love Jack, great team player/guy/etc, but I'm just confused as to which category he fits in; Courageous, Stupidity, or lacking of general awareness/peripheral vision?

    A player like J Brown is 95% in category A, and 5% in B.

    A player like Mitch Clark is 75% A, 25% B.

    Grimes on the other hand definitley has courage, but it's his % in category C that concerns me. If he can bridge the gap between "A" and "C", his next 50 games will come a lot quicker than the first 50.

    I await my public flogging.

    I think he has done quite well considering that stat. Finds the footy, leads and plays as hard as you'd want and wins contests. Can shank a kick though

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
