A great bloke and can do things others cant do but unfortunately he's not up to it. His errors have been killing us for years and he's never held accountable. Hopefully Roos has the courage to move him on.

The opposition call him "Captain cant kick"

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 mistak

Im sure Roos is seeing the mistakes too, and will be trying to coach it out of him, his positives out weigh his negatives,

What do we do with Grimes. Simple. Coach him and improve him - just as we're doing for the other 43 players on the list.

The pack mentality around "Grimes can't play" is seriously misplaced. For those wanting Grimes dropped and traded I'd suggest you rethink your position because it's not going to happen.

Disagree with the first two lines, roll my eyes at the third line and call BS on the last line.

If you think Roos is going to cast aside Grimes at the end of the season you have learnt nothing from the first 10 weeks of the season.

I just hope he proves me and other doubters wrong and leads us to victory with a bigger than Ben Hur performance on Monday.

So that means he will arrogantly dismiss his opponent with a flick of his wrist and refer to him as a 'lightweight'? Plus I didn't know Grimesy was an Andrew Bolt worshiping, right wing nut case.

He can do some pretty amazing spoils, but his kicking leaves a lot to be desired.

Let's just remember how Roos has transformed Pedo in half a season and give him time to transform Grimes. Everyone on the list deserves a chance under his tenure before we turf them aside.

Just because he has a passing resemblance to said Mr Bolt does not mean he is a Neo Fascist. I thought he looked like a KAOS agent.

No no ADC. If Jack is to put in a Ben Hur style performance, he needs to worship Andrew Bolt.

Plus he won't be able to read Demonland (bites lip) as the real deal has been banned from here or so I believe.

Yes, he's made the odd howler of a blunder. He's telegraphed a pass for the opposition to intercept and he's executed to a teammate immediately under the pump. Whilst I sometimes question his vision (or peripheral vision in some cases), I expect him to improve his decision making with regards to his disposal under some heat.

For some to question his leadership as captain and his position in the team I find astounding at the present time.

rpfc I wish you were right.

Which opposition players call him 'Captain Can't Kick'?

Who would own up to such an unfunny retort?

It's simple, sack Grimes, and with the salary cap left over, recruit Bootsma, and give him the captaincy to sweeten the deal, just what we need a booming kick off half back and a proven leader.

Yes, I love Grimesy's determination and sheer toughness. However, one tends to hold their breath when he is about to dispose of the ball. In direct contrast how many people feel supremely confident that Lynden Dunn will dispose of the ball beautifully. Gee, he's so cool under pressure is Lynden and those long accurate kicks he produces are superb. Maybe he could give Jack some tips.

Must admit I saw Grimes' interviewed on 360 this week and I fell in love with his attitude. I have always admired his courage and his commitment. He is the best at running fearlessly into whatever may be coming,; I just hope he injures the opposition and not himself or a team mate. I would love nothing more for him than to have the best game of his career on Monday and stick it right up anyone who has ever doubted him (me included). Most of all stick up all the Collingwood flogs out there. Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on. Go Dees!

He will be a worthy contributor over the next few years.

I look forward to future when he is not good enough to get a regular game.

At that point we will know we have truly arrived as a premiership contender.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
