Title changed to reflect the name of a Melbournefc player

Crossroads

Lost it once he put 31 on his back

Grines?

How easily we forget.

I think that it's sad. He has done nothing but what is best for the team. I hope that he puts it back together.

Of course, it's easy enough to edit the title, but I couldn't help myself.

I'm not sure that there's any point to this thread anyway. Unless there's some scintillating contribution in the next half hour I think it should go.

He's just been an average player in a bad, bad team.

Unsurprising.

It is sad, but his game has never evolved

Not enough body mass. Gets bumped off way to easily

Boom or Bust this year

Who?

Didn't help, the captaincy was also a big obstacle.

I think Howe won't play and Grimes will come in for him.

I don't.

Its already a bust WYL. Dropped for first game is massive. Even if Salem has a disappointing game on the weekend we need to show him the same faith we've showed Grimes and co over the years.

Could well be right Al

A running half back who continually kicks clangers is a liability

Tough decisions

Who?

Haven't you got your bifocals on, OD (the clue is in the thread title)?

I have admit being pleased at the decision to drop him. Shows we're evolving and making players accountable - and most importantly that includes our leadership group.

Been a very long time since that has happened at our club.

Small joke there Doctor

I like to think that Grimes will remain on the last for a few years as a good honest player with great leadership skills, who set a fantastic example for the young kids (a bit like cross) who is in and out of the team depending on form or injury.

A professional, he is a step up from the traditional NQRs like Terlich and Jones, but might not be good enough to hold down a spot taken by Lamumba and some kids.

The other option is we trade him to a tan that wants him to start as they lack a defensive half back flank although that seems unlikely.

I don't think he'll be delisted.

Why is he even on the Demonland banner? Jetta should be there. At a crossroad and evolved dramatically.

I am not a fan praha but easy up a bit we have not played a game in 2015 yet.

After Saturday who knows he might be straight back in.

Very disappointed as I think he has been quite good with his disposal and attack on the ball this preseason. I think his form is better than Toumpas' form. Nevertheless, I trust our coaches and it may be a bit of a spur for him this year.

That is damming him with faint praise

I think Howe won't play and Grimes will come in for him.

Why bother doing that though? It's Round 1, pick a team and stick with it.

Might want to eat a steak and stick a tackle.

They clearly signalled this was on the cards when they took the captaincy off him, so they could drop him more freely. He was shaping up to be a great player before that very first foot injury and he's now simply been passed by younger, better players.

He's just been an average player in a bad, bad team.

Unsurprising.

No he's been worse than that. He's been a turnover king. He can't make quick enough decisions about disposal when in possession of the ball and his kicking is atrocious. How can he be a leader when he can't play football?
