    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
