Would suit our needs nicely. A very solid big man and athletic for his size. I also hope we have a go at him. Not sure what he would be worth though? Late second/early third round maybe?

    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.

    Hawthorn should give him to us for free as a show of good faith for snatching Frawley.

    I think it makes a lot of sense, will we anything left to trade?

    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.

    You can only ask.

    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.

    Hope Hope Hope

    How long befor spenc and Fitz start to figure in the future of this club Starting to look like serious Cloggers

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

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

    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.

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

    I would too.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
