Just a heads up... saw it tweeted a couple of minutes ago.

 

One of my favourites - we could do with him this week!

 

Rod Has 2 sons, the eldest James 22 now. Why isn't he playing for the Deeeees ??

We need that lineage coming through into the club

maybe something to do with how we've gone over the past 12 years ?

I guess not every son wants to follow in there fathers footsteps and nor do they have to. Maybe he didnt enjoy footy or wasnt that great at it.


give me 22 rod grinters I will be a happy man. that face instilled menace. however, the guy could actually play some seriously good footy. great overhead mark for his size, could kick, and had some pace.

Forgive my ignorance due to age, but... who?

Not sure if joking ? :)

Not joking.

I see he has a VFL logo on his guernsey. I was too young to follow footy in the 80's.

Judging by the [lack of] teeth, I assume he was a rough character?

Genuine Demon Legend young fella.

Loved that hit.

Also just noticed - 80 cents for a footy record???

The 80's must truly have been the golden age of humanity.

Grinter had more balls than our current list combined.

Man you really missed something. Like missing Jack Dyer or Big Carl. Serious dudes who made the ground shake. Menace in every footstep. Rod Grinter could seriously play. However he was a very dangerous man when he got an opponent in his sights. Like a bull but he very rarely missed.

Just two or three would be enough to cause some serious havoc nowadays, Ernie.

Loved that hit.

It was a beauty Fork

just found a a replay of it mate, go to 22:50 for old times sake :)

Like running into a brick wall.

that would do me too doctor. The booing by opposition supporters of dear gentle Rodney was a wonderful sound.

I loved Rod Grinter hard at it, scrupulously fair a wonderful player! Sigh What I would give to have Rod Grinter and Byron Picket in the side right now!

Pretty low act of Terry Wallet trying to eat Rod Grinters Hand but years ago! Very low act indeed!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
