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

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
