'The Herald Sun reports that forgotten Hawthorn big man Sam Grimley wants to be traded to gain more senior opportunities elsewhere after failing to break into the Hawks line-up despite terrific VFL fo

Grimley? No. If Hogan signs for two more years, we need to focus on more quality mids and maybe a quick running half back with very good decision making ability and disposal.

I must be totally out of touch, because until this thread I had never heard of this guy.

Not of same ability but a good Mitch type replacement. Help protect Hogan for a while up forward like Mitch was supposed to. Unless we have an eye on a ruckman in next years trade Grimley might be a good get. Comes from a good 'system' successful environment to.

Both Lowden and Grimley are up for trade, both would be best 22 at Melbourne.

Goal kicking ruckman don't pop-up all that often, would be nice to get one of them.

I agree. I'm not sure Spencer will be the player we would like him to be, Jamar is getting on and Gawn has had some knee issues. Lowden and Grimley could be very useful backup or even move past some of our current ruck stocks.

Grimely really suits as Jamar's replacement, gives Gawn some support, Spencer more time (I know he is taking a while) and King a few years to find his way. Right age bracket, can kick goals and by all reports has really developed his game to be a valuable forward.

hmm.....what would make a deal float here ?

I don't think we have much to offer. This is where I think the suggestion of a late swap of picks in the Clark deal is really important for us. If we can improve our later picks within the 40-50 range then I think we're getting close. Grimely might be moved on cheap due to the fact he just isn't getting a game. Really shaping as a younger David Hale type player.

Never seen him play, but what does he bring that Fitzy doesn't?

Nb. I'm not saying Fitzy is a star, but is this bloke better than him?

He did kick 45 goals in VFL. I don't really want him because i honestly wouldn't put him in our best 22, but i probably would put him ahead of Fitzy.

Talent wise, Fitzy is the better player. All factors considered you'd probably take Grimley. Fitzy has type 1 diabetes and was suffering from chronic fatigue during the year, the combination of those two afflictions has probably made it difficult for him to put on weight/ work to the levels needed of an AFL footballer. Meanwhile, Grimley is a very solid kid with little to no health concerns.

Agreed. Not that we're short on talls, we just struggle to get them playing.

I still have hope for Fitz though.

Would give up our second round pick for either Lowden or Grimley and their second round pick. With the O'rourke trade Hawthorn's 2nd rounder is currently their first pick, They may be interested in taking a first round slider at 23.

We could then use the Hawk second rounder for either Frost or Lyons,along with their third round pick.

Is there anyone with 2 picks in the late second/early third round that would entertain a swap for our 23.

We get Frost for one of those, then take the other to the draft or possibly throw one at Hallahan, Lowden or similar ilk.

Now I am doing one of those moot trades that [censored] me so much... carry on.

Geelong probably will have and they still haven't come to the table over Mitch. How we used those picks would be another story...one would go for Lumumba.

I'm quite sure Fitzy kicked 50+ for Casey a couple of years ago.

Personally, I'd rather perservere with Fitzy over Grimley. Fitzy has a bit of X factor that doesn't come often in ruck/forwards.

I think Grimley would come cheap. Could be a last minute deal, as the market won't be overly heated for him.

He would come cheap because he only a VFL level player, I would be surprised if anyone picks him up.

Delisted by the Hawks but promised to rookie him if he is available at their pick. Worth considering at RD pick 2 or 20?

http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2014-08-25/grimley-wins-vfls-frosty-miller-medal

Didn't someone post that the Hawks players couldn't believe he was still on their list and that he wasn't any good?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
