'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.

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.

I would too.

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?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
