I for one aren't quite as happy.

Thought he suited our needs nicely. Still think we need someone with some pace off half back to go with Salem & Lumumba.

    Has nominated Adelaide according to The Age.

    Which one of Laird and Jaensch does he reckon he will unseat?

    Jaensch did his ACL and then was caught drink driving (almost 3 times over the limit) so I would suggest he is far from best 22 at this stage

    Players still allowed to nominate clubs lol

    Why is there free agency again?

    To elaborate (beyond a joke might be a bit harsh but let's remember he is playing AFL) his kicking is like The Princes, an up and under style with the ball often going over teammates heads or falling short or out of bounds. I found myself laughing out loud in disbelief watching him

    Hard to play footy if u can't kick it properly

    Like Watts I'm interested to see who wants him.

    But yeah 5 games for the year and I pick the Crows....

    Not really Grimes has been doing it for years.

    For those who don't believe me watch his games, only played 5.

    Living in Sydney I've watched a lot of GWS games.

    Natural competitor - Yes he takes the game on and as someone eluded to he has dash and dare.

    Footy smarts - He finds himself in the right places at times, when he has the ball he has the right intentions but see below....

    Disposal - His disposal is diabolical, it's that bad it's beyond a joke.

    It's a no.

    I watched him play in 4 NEAFL games this year and disposal was immaculate. I made observations/comments during these games to others about his beautiful disposal. Granted this was at NEAFL level, but no reason to think it couldn't translate to AFL level as he gains experience.

    I haven't seen a lot of GWS at AFL level to comment on his disposal there, but I would imaging the reason for your appraisal is probably due to poor execution under greater pressure at AFL level. I can guarantee you, however, that his fundamental kicking skills are excellent. As he gains more AFL experience, I would expect execution under pressure and decision making to continue to improve.

    For the record, I thought he was BOG in 3 of those 4 games and in the best 5 players in the other game. I could not understand how he wasn't playing in their AFL side.

    I prefer Hampton to Yarran as an option.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
