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?

As hard as nails Choke, i loved him, his hip & shoulder on Chris Mew in the 87 prelim is one of the best i have ever seen


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.

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!

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
