2012 Player Review - # 16 Jack Grimes

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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
