Glad he got his ton.

Time's up.

Especially pleased that the club got him to 100 games given how he was treated in the early days.

interesting that barrett thinks he'll get picked up by another club.

 

i personally have my doubts.

 

the poor bugger is in the wrong age demographic for rebuilding sides, and not good enough for the good sides.

 

it's such a shame what's happened to both grimes and trengove.

A shame that he hasn't developed in the way we had hoped he'd would. Was one of the most promising up and comers in the league 2010-2012.

I have no doubt that he'll be picked up next year by another team; decent player, strong leader and clubman.  A team like Brisbane could use someone like Grimes around.

Wish him all the best.

Exactly. Many others on MFC list have worse disposal than Grimes... Lamumba, t.mcd, o.mcd, bugg, wagner. all miss key targets regularly but seem to get Roos' approval. Grimes will get another go.

I'm thrilled that Jack got his Century.  Not only is it doing the right thing by the player, but it's simply good planning as long as the Father/Son (or Parent/Child) rules exist.  There is no possible negative in making sure that he gets to triple figures and it makes the club look better to find room for him in the side a couple of extra times.  Well done all around.

I like Grimesy, but like many fans I have had to accept that he is nit going to reach the heights we thought he would when he burst onto the scene and was later made captain.

I wish him well.

He never was. Thoroughly overrated from day dot.

Definitely crucified... Was in our best 5 against the Dockers.  Certainly not the worst by any stretch against the Saints but immediately gets dropped.  McDonalds combined cost us 6 goals against the Saints and two of Wagners turnovers (resulting in goals). Then rebounds with a BOG effort in the VFL only for Vandenburg (poor for 3 weeks before his injury) gets back in. Again Oscar Mcdonald is spared.

Jack's card is marked but he hardly has been treated fairly or responsibly.  Another ex captain crucified.

Terrible against the saints on a fast track, to slow, not in our best 25, time to move on...

Sad given his service, sacrifice and leadership but Jack needs to reinvent himself at another place. I really feel for the two Jacks, they deserve so much more but as part of the AFL slaughterhouse of dreams and ambitions they are our Paschal lambs.

too slow? I thought posters said it was his disposal, which was good. Now its pace ...come on, Vandenburg, White, Wagner, Bugg, Jetta are hardly jets!!

I think his decision making is extremely slow, he holds the ball up and stops the run we have. I don't think his style of play compliments an attacking game style at all.

Time to pay tribute to Grimesy ... delisted and not picked up in the trade period.

Thanks for your efforts for the club and hopefully, someone will select you in the coming weeks as a delisted free agent.

Thanks Jack. Great clubman. Solid warrior in dark times. Heart and soul player that we love.

If he could hit targets he would be a gun.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him 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.
