2012 Player Review - # 16 Jack Grimes

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Jack played 21 games.  He was predominantly played midfield, but was rotated into the backline throughout the course of games, and that was to allow us to have backline rotations.  Jack’s form in the midfield was very consistent, particularly being his first year as a midfield player.  A lot of that was on the wing, where I thought he read the game really well.  Jack’s game, and his leadership - both on and off the field - was outstanding, and I’m sure that Jack as a footballer, and particularly as a midfielder going forward, is going to be of enormous value to the Melbourne Football Club.  It was also pleasing to see Jack get some continuity in games played - as we know, he’s had a lot of injuries over his career, and it was pleasing that he played 21 games with the Melbourne Football Club this year. - Brian Royal (midfield coach) melbournefc.com.au

    Finally an injury free year has restored my faith he will be a good player in the future

    Maturity and intelligence beyond his years. I really enjoy listening to Grimes speak about the club and his responsibilities with taking it forward as Co-Captain.

    Pumped that he got in 21 games this season, as captain. Agree with rpfc, keep playing him in the middle 2013.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
