He cost us a couple of goals today with poor decision making and poor disposal. For mine he can't play in the back half anymore but where else do you play him?

He cost us allot today. Not sure what to do with him.

Maybe I could spell his name right to start with

Forward, he's a very good mark and could be a handy player for us there. His decision making and disposal is getting worse and we need to do something; he can play football but at the moment he's a bit of a liability.

Persevere. He makes poor decisions at times, but he tackles well, runs hard and is a good reader of the play. I think supporters are needlessly harsh on him.

I'm confident the one or two poor mistakes a game can be eradicated from his game.

My biggest concern with him today was his poor attack on the ball.

Normally he is fearless but he heard footsteps a few times.

i actually didn't think he was that bad. he kept his man quiet and provided rebound.

he makes a couple of disposal errors a game, but he does some very classy things too.

He's our Ritchie Vandenberg: a great club man and leader, but ultimately, not quite the guy you can rely on.

He looked terrible today, seemed to be no great urgency in his movement.

Has he been doing light training? Ie carrying a injury?

His game today was pretty disgraceful.

My concern is he has been making one or two mistakes a game for 4 years. He does not tackle well or break tackles well, he lacks serious body strength. Defends well on the lead and one one one and has some courage but that is all. Persevere for now but there will come a time soon if we are to move upward where he will not be in the side unless something seriously changes.

No one is immune to a spell in the VFL if their form is no good

This is garbage. He is not going to be dropped from the side. The only changes that get made are ones that genuinely improve the side; there is not a player better than Jack Grimes kicking around in the VFL, full stop.

forward line? half forward? defensive tag?

i cant stand watching him play

Defends well and beat his man today but his errors are becoming a serious hindrance.

His mistakes were very costly today and he should be much better than what he showed.

Decision making is poor and ball movement slow, however when he goes with his first instinct it is usually ok.

Can't recall a Poster getting it so right as big red fire engine has. Has there ever been a game where Grimes hasn't had a couple of clangers.

Brave effort today and a lot to like but we will never be a top 4 side if you have half your back line that could be legitimately called turnover merchants. Read Grimes, MacDonald & Terlich.

Thats a naive way to think. We have Georgiou Mckenzie and Strauss who could come in for Grimes.

Very poor game from Grimes today....he has always been overrated in my opinion

Great guy obviously, but that alone does not win footy at AFL level

some shocking clangers today cost us goals...

He's 25 years old ffs. We're not talking about someone learning the game. These are arguably his best years.

He does it on a weekly basis. Terrible decisions. Terrible execution. He and Terlich are momentum killers and good sides don't carry players like that.

I don't know what to do with him. He's captain and he isn't being dropped. We just have to live with it for the time being.

Do you think any are better than Grimes? According to Rohan Welsh 7 goals against Casey last week were against Georgiou. Strauss isn't dominating at Casey and McKenzie plays a completely different role.

I agree, Grimes and Terlich turn it over far too often - McDonald at times as well.

We could do with some clean disposal out of the back line, Dunn has been good.

I don't think Terlich gets a game next week, not sure about Grimes - both were far below what is required.

As with most of your posts, I can only assume you are joking.

If Grimes was not captain I'm sure he would just be a yoyo player coming in and out of the side as required. It would be hard to drop a captain after steady improvement by the team as whole. I sort of compare him with Cheney at Hawthorn. Can be relied to do a job as required but never an automatic selection. I see that as Grimes fate next season unless he goes the next step and becomes a more composed player.
