Surgery on a broken collarbone put him out of action for more than two months in the middle of the season. Played well on either side of that injury and looked the best late when he returned to his more familiar defensive role.

I do like Jack as a player and he is probably the best leader of men at the club

My anxiety levels do elevate however whenever he is kicking within 20 metres of the boundary

Not a midfielder.

He's a good average footballer.

He will be a good HB once we stop trying to make him into a midfielder.

Interesting to see if he is the captain in 2014.

i hope he is the sole captain in 2014.

an excellent leader of men, speaks brilliantly in both a casual and corporate environment, and i think he's under-rated as a footballer.

Yes, Yes, Yes and he is a good HB.

Will flourish under Roos and will be retained as co-captain alongside Jones.

Will be very interesting in how Roos uses Grimes. Half back Flanker or Midfielder?

Not a midfielder.

No hes not..hes best by a mile coming off the half back. Is, well can be, a clever instigator of a play. he needs to go back to this role. I think possibly his midfield stint smacked more of desperation than anything else.

A solid pre ought to see jack back and firing. Be interesting to see how Roos recasts this team

What is this "leader of men" crap that people always go on about? Are we worried about getting a "leader of women" instead?

He's a good man to listen to Frank, very happy for him to retain the captaincy for another year solely allowing Trenners just to concentrate on being a starting 22 player.

It's easy to forget how young he is in regards to games played.

Would be great to see him with a full preseason and add a couple kg's on the frame as I wouldn't mind him as that big bodied mid we all crave. His kicking his reminiscent of Jobe early on in his career and he has turned out quite nicely. Not saying Jack will be the same or get close but he will continue to get better and never thinks twice of putting his body on the line and I love his spoiling and tackling efforts.

Although it wasn't his best year, I am still very happy with my purchase of a signed Grimesy guernsey during the season.
