    Thanks and best wishes from me.

    Saddened by Grimes in particular. Terrible way for an ex-captain to go out.

    But at the end of the day we barrack for the team and they are but soldiers. That is the football world we live in.

    Yep, three good servants of the club who gave their all during a very difficult time.

    Really feel for Grimey as you know how much he loved the club.

    Guys, thanks to all you've done in what was a very turbulent era for the club.

    Good luck with your future endeavours.

    Sad to see Grimes end his career with us that way, he just couldn't get his decision making and disposal right and the number of times he kicked it out of bounds on the full was infuriating. He played 100 games for the club he grew up supporting so that's got to be the dream of any kid growing up.

    He was dreadful in the Casey GF and that wouldn't have helped but I reckon his cards were marked before then anyway.

    All the best Jack and hope you get a gig elsewhere.

    All three should be proud of what they achieved in the Red & Blue. Grimesy gave his all and loves the club. Matt & Dean worked their ass of to get a shot as mature pick ups, all three of them finished in top 5 of the B&F. well done lads.

    Yeah I feel for Jack, surprised they didn't even attempt a trade. A sad end to his career with us.

    I guess it shows you what his currency is out there in the marketplace. Hope someone else gives you a shot!

    All the best to all 3

    Interesting to see Matt Jones go. I'd have kept him before Michie or Newton. Still, I'm sure their names are coming too.

    Goodwin putting his first major stamp on his side.

    Sad to see Grimes' career end the way it has. I truly hope he finds a spot somewhere next season.

    The other two, it was always coming.

    I really hope Grimes gets to keep playing, would be thrilled for the family if he gets the chance to run out alongside his brother at Richmond.

     

    that said, can't say I am surprised at these delistings.  Thanks for you contribution to the club Matt, Dean and in particular Jack.

    He is still with us till Oct 31 officially, so like Fitzy a club can give us a 4th or 5th round pick, should they choose, gives Jack the opportunity to talk to everybody.....whoops he is a free agent....forgot

    All the best to all 3 who put in 100% effort each game.

    Unfortunately effort is just not enough in todays game.

    Will just add as a sponsor of Jack for a few years, he gave his all for the club and is a really nice bloke. 

    Wish him well for the future in footy and for his life in general. 

    Thanks to Matt and Dean for their contribution as well and good luck for the future.

    Surprised to see Jones go in the first pass. I thought he had a case for one more season, and probably would have played games next season, but I guess that's (rightly) not where the bar is set.

    No surprises with Grimes, but it still gives me a stab of grief now that it's official. A player who gave his all the MFC during the toughest of times. I hope the note he leaves on is not too sour and he can continue to be a Melbourne man after footy.

    Thanks to all three for their contributions.

    Three guys that tried their hearts out for the club.  No surprises with Terlich and even Grimes; am a little surprised that Jones went as he seemed to be in the selectors top 26 or so players for most of the year.  

    This is, I suppose, the price you pay for an improving list; you lose some guys who gave their all during some very tough years.

    I had hoped he would rebound, a quality person who did everything the club asked of him. Loyal and clearly respected by his teammates. I wish him every success.

    Does delisting mean anything to FA status, as far as a club getting compensation?

  • Quote

     I'm surprised Terls got the flick.He was just coming good!!

     

    Matty Jones just lacks size but tried hard.The squirrel move was his undoing .

    Jack Grimes might get picked up with any luck.A tough career getting smashed in a poor era , he stood up for us , especially when he was younger.

    I think so Redleg, i don't think you get compensation for a delisted free agent. The article does say we have advised them we will not be offering contracts next season, whether they have been officially delisted yet, i'm not sure.

    Yes, it means no compensation. Wouldn't have got any anyway most likely as I doubt Grimes will be on a very big contract if he gets picked up - very long shot anyway IMO.

    Unless you were worried about compo for Terls :-)

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
