Do you like arguing for the sake of it?

You say a player  who butchers every second possession and can't stand his ground in a contest, is an average player.

You win, I give up, you clearly don't want a sensible discussion.

No. I didn't use the word rubbish

you did

Grimes has never been the same since he broke his collarbone.

He was so good early in his career.

Same happened with Cameron Bruce, CB.

Last game of Footy i ever went to at that cheap shoddy venue...

i almost started a fight with my brother (saints supporter) because he was laughing after CB got crunched.

Potentially, he could have really, really figured in the Brownlow that year...

He had 3 best ons leading up to that game.

Guerra goes on and plays in premierships.....go figure.

I reckon your brother's pretty happy with the Aints - they're developing really well...

 

The Aints will stand until Saint Nick retires..

Agree, once Saint Sook retires, they will fall in a heap, it will be around the same time as montagna as well, so that doesn't help them much either.

I can see Reiwoldt playing in to his 50's as the Aints try and fail to find a decent replacement for him.

Jack Grimes has either

- crashed into Paul Roos car

- parked in Paul Roos car space

- sent Paul Roos the wrong text ("can't wait until Goody takes over in 2017")

- forgot to send Roosy a Xmas Card.

Sure Jacks disposal was 60% but his work in the preseason was strong and his form at Casey undoubted. He is reflecting a more attacking style. I have watched Casey on 4 occasions this year and Jack's run, tackling and disposal (yes) had improved without question.

It is cruel to promote Garlett ahead of Jack. Garlett looked lethargic for Casey and hardly showed the form required or demanded.

Jack Grimes has an AFL future but like Neeld, Roos seems determined to shun a prior captain of the club.

Grimes deserved a game this week and has been let down again. Poor selection again Roosy.

Which club would he be a good fit at?

Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Essendon, Richmond, Hawthorn, Fremantle, St.kilda, Collingwood and Carlton.

I think Richmond will pickup Jack as an "under-used, unwanted, mistreated" delisted free agent.

Saints? Why not the Bulldogs as well? Wouldn't fit the Saints.

I think he might go to another club but he's no certainty to play.

The way his value has gone up on here not getting a game, if he stays out of the team we might get a top 5 pick by years end.

I'm puzzled by this and other posters who have questioned Roos' competence and/or his integrity for Grimes not getting a game. Surely everyone understands team selection is not a one man show. Apart from the selection committee and strategy analysis which would play a major role in selection, without a doubt, Goodwin's views regarding the 2017 game style and list would have taken increasing precedence this year. If, any one individual had a huge say in Grimes' selection, then surely it would be Goodwin, but I'd bet it's pretty much a consensus view.

I agree Xarronn. I reckon Goody's influence on this matter would be quite telling.

Clearly he's not part of his 2017 plans. Fair enough, though many should be breathing a sigh of relief that they're in Goody's good graces.

I watched the Tigers, Saints, Suns, Blues, Magpies play so far this weekend and Grimes would DEFINITELY get into their best team as a running mid/half back.

I'm all for Jack getting a game and see an end to the weekly charade with his (non)selection. 

But all those teams are below us on the ladder so they are not a resounding endorsement.

How about the Saints that played Geelong last week?

We'll know soon enough as he will be up for trade at years end. Changing lists doesn't guarantee him a game.

And this is an endorsement of the quality of our current list.

Just showed why he is with his token out on the foul when kicking down the line

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
