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 :)

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
