    Does Grimes have to miss 8 weeks or 8 rounds?

    Would love him back for the Dogs!

    Also - does anyone else think we may believe Clark's injury to not be that bad (I.e. less than 8 weeks hence he wasn't put on the LTI.)

    Seriously mate, there is no need for that.

    Why?, your post intimated there was something untoward going on, bit sick of hearing that on here, so you wore it, apologies if reaction was too rough, but I have received worse from the O's

    I am normally positive, but this is just more superficial crap from the MFC.

    Keep the promotion behind close doors and start worrying about winning games.

    Getting over their spin.

    Couldn't agree more!

    It's also a statement to say "we don't believe Trengove can do it". I'm also sick of the bloody fans, 2 years ago everyone was screaming for "Captain Jack [Trengove]" to replace "Green" by which the year before they were screaming his name. So now again when the going gets tough they all change their minds and scream for "Jones". The club needs to stick by their guns, it creates a poor culture if they keep changing this crap around.

    Fair call, and i'm sure i hope exactly what you do that when he returns his speed and confidence is back.

    I would say so - from what I could gather the pin that was inserted to help his lisfranc was giving him issues not the area that was repaired.

    And I can't answer your first question without a copy of the CBA or a competent sports journalism industry, and I have seen neither.

    I don't recall many fans calling for Trengove to be captain, as it was and is still a pretty radical move. I remember a strong chorus calling for Grim\es as captain, and he has taken to the role fairly comfortably.

    Actually I can very vividly remember the calls to make Trenners captain, as that year showed particular guts and determination in tackling and 1%ers. Greens leadership was waning and there were a lot of people calling for the club to be bold. Well they were and I don't disagree with it. It was about time the club went for something other than the safe option. The idea with these two is the fruits will be born in 3 years time when the core has developed with them up the front for the entire time.

    Happy with this news. Think they both deserve the extra responsibility and will handle it well.

    Hello ignore button.

    I think the players will get behind Jones and if he does a great job and the players are responding in kind then one of Grimes or Trengrove may have to settle for a lesser role, whatever the outcome it will be a good thing. I'm sure there are many on here who feel this is overdue, well let's see what Jones can bring to the table.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
