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.

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

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.

[praha 11,240]

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

Unsurprising.

[Sir Why You Little 37,125]

It is sad, but his game has never evolved

Not enough body mass. Gets bumped off way to easily

Boom or Bust this year

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

[Gorgoroth 13,017]

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

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

Who?

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

[Wormburner 674]

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

[deanox 9,989]

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.

[praha 11,240]

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.

[Maybe next year 170]

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

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Might want to eat a steak and stick a tackle.

[Undeeterred 3,124]

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.

[Coq au vin 755]

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?
