Amazing someone didn't give Grimes a life line as a rookey at least. Good option as a depth player I would have thought. 

Apparently Grimes chose not to nominate for the national or rookie drafts.

Well interesting Rookie Draft looks like a lot of Demonlanders were on the money Or had their Wishes come true. Given where we started in the Draft it looks like the Recruiting Team have fared as well as could be expected. Only time will tell but looks like some excellent depth for the mighty Dee's. go Dee's!!!

Good decision by Jack to decline a Rookie spot, he has just put up with the last season playing seconds and I'm sure he doesn't need another. Hope he remains a Dee's supporter and that we see him at the games this year, it would be good if he could have some sort of mentoring role at the club.

Thanks Jack for all you did for us in the dark days.
