I'd be happy with that claim to fame!

 

Nothing article. I say good luck to the guy - he was a decent player and, I think, a decent person.

GetSwift’s corporate governance perhaps needs to improve, but there doesn’t seem to be any suggestion of impropriety here.

Grimes is a hack. 

Mate I don't think you have a clue.

Grimes is 26 with over 100 games up.  Played 25 games this year.  Flag winner & 5th in the Tigers B&F in a Premiership year.

Plays on  talls or shorts & is the first picked in their defence after Rance.  Tough, smart & determined - coaches love him & supporters love him.

And our list is still full of just potential, and add to that a list that still plays a 21 game season....

Dylan Grimes is a hack....Yeah right. 

 


a $600 million valuation on a "revenue" flow of $500K... now that is what I call a seriously unbalanced P/E ratio.

Ok guys I'm sure that between us we can come up with the next best version of sliced bread and we'll all be in clover :)

 My Alcohol and drug tab is bigger than this schmucks annual revenue.

This company is doomed.

he is selling icy poles to Pablo Escobar's street vendors.

He's fired.

I was wondering why in his playing days Joel’s nickname was Ponzi. Makes sense now. 

He was always thinking about ways to make money, and would come up with wacky ideas.

Oh please. What rubbish. Grimes would walk into any team in the comp.

BTW I think he was picked up in the rookie draft. I wish we had picked him, but good luck to him. He's not only a very good footballer, but a great bloke.

It never had those contracts, only agreed trials

 this is what caused the global financial crisis, when the value of  A company's share price was more important then how much profit the company was actually making, so once share holders found out that company's were not making profits that related to their share price any pulled out. Most tech companys are over valued, sooner or later unless they turn a profit they all fall over

There will be a point in time where he must make a profit, I think he will in the he long run, but if not it will fall apart it always does

Yes it was one factor, many Americans who owned their own homes mortgage them to buy, shares, the  global financial crisis was caused by a stock market crash, then many lost their homes, then many American banks went broke because, there was too many houses on the market and not enough buys, now you tell me what caused it then?

The beginning of the GFC was due to a crisis in the subprime mortgage market in the US which developed into an international banking crisis following the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

True it also was due to a stock market crash, because many home owners re mortgage their homes to buy shares, then the market crashed due to over value of listed company's.

No. It just wasn't. Ethan is on the money.

The stock market didn't technically crash. It did fall but well and truly after debt markets blew up. Your simplistic statement that the GFC was caused by share prices not being supported by profits is pure nonsense. Sorry.

Meanwhile, the equivalent discussion on the Collingwood supporters' discussion board is whether Centrelink payments have kept pace with the price of ready to drink Southern Comfort and Coke.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
