Played most of his games for brisbane at half back, occaisonally played on the wing as well.

Melbourne ran their 3km run on Sat

Captain Jack grimes for no real public reason ran it at aami

Elite performance manager Dave Misson on Jack Grimes

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Co-captain Jack Grimes ran a three-km time-trial at AAMI Park.

“We got Grimsey to run a three-km at AAMI Park around the track and had a couple of people run with him and he ran a big PB (personal best) as well, so we’re really pleased,” Misson said.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

As Grimes is a captain, he could have shown Cheynee Stiller around the place and as he is likely to remain captain, even stand alone captain, this sounds all true

He'll have to have a name change before we draft him.

Someone mentioned, not sure where I read it, that maybe Grimesy had a run at AAMI because they didn't want him running on hard surfaces with his back problems.

Does anybody know something about Stiller?

Is he exactly what we need to complement our list (or are we better grabbing a youngster with the pick 88 that we got for Cale Morton)?

I presume that we can grab him as a delisted player without the draft if we so wish under this new system; should he be one of our eight selections?

Well we've got Viney, probably Wines, Sellar... May aswell get di Stiller too.

Groan.

We can take him at anytime up to 13 November as a delisted free agent and it won't cost us a draft pick. It will however, mean that he would take one of the spaces remaining on our list and therefore mean one less draft pick available to the club.

Forget pick 88. It's a long way beyond the horizon and would only be used by us if we make a few more delistings. In other words, we gave Morton away for nothing or simply to free up a spot on the club's lists.

Can anybody give an insight on Cheynee Stiller (delisted Brisbane Lion) who is currently training with us and should we pick him up before 13 November deadline as a delisted player. Is he likely to be better value as one of the eight places on our list (4 main list, two rookies) or should we squander that valuable No. 88 pick that West Coast gave us for Cale Morton on a kid?

Very promising early in his career after being taken by Brisbane in the rookie draft - enough to prompt the traditional cringe of 'another Melbourne supporter we missed'.

Injury plagued, hasn't had consecutive 'clear' seasons in many years, but is a solid worker and I would say a better prospect that the typical very late pick. Certainly a more mature body, obviously.

Would he be more than depth? Hard to say. Would he be really useful depth? Very likely.

Posted

or should we squander that valuable No. 88 pick that West Coast gave us for Cale Morton on a kid?

No we will get a skinny kid.

But for pick 88 we could get 2 fat ladies. (Sexist comment not intended.)

Stiller is 26yrs 6 mths old. Played 3 games in 2012 and averages 15 disposals. His career average is only 17 disposals.

Plays half back. Worth a spot if they think he can play a couple years. Not really fussed either way. Although he would keep Grimes in the guts.

And we will not use pick 88 so shut up about Morton. It was effectively a delisting through the medium of another club.

Posted

He was a supporter as a kid...

So what? Moloney, Judd etc

Groan.

So....would you be pi55ed if we missed him or if we got him?
Posted

To me he is the Farren Ray type we wanted but missed out on in the trade period.

Mid 20s, 100 game player who can add some run off half back.

Meets the same criteria, but is free.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
