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

The rest of what i said i stand by

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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'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.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
