Grimes Injury

[Kit Walker 225]

When he was drafted I thought it was stress fractures in his back. Later reported that he possibly had a groin injury.

Now (in the H-S McNamee story) it says he is out with shin splints.

Anyone have any idea what is actually wrong with the poor kid?

Bailey reckons he's almost ready to play...

6-8 weeks. Might be placed on the long term injury list. Won't hurt him at this stage of his career, better to get himself right.

Being that Bailey has said he is looking forward to seeing his forwards this year, for example Neitz, Newton, Robbo and Woenamirri countless times.

Id say Woena is a better chance.

We have enough in and under midfielders right now.

So I should take that as a "No" then......

I actually ran into Grimes and Spencer at the footy on Sunday in line for a pie. The boys were both buying water, and Spencer was busy studying the nutrition info on the back of a packet of Natural Confection lollies....

I asked Grimes how he was, and what his injury was. He replied that he had a groin injury over summer, and has only recently gotten that right, just to find that his shin splints are acting up when he finally gets to have a run.

The boys were very polite, and both expressed disappointment at the way the game was going. They said that it was obviously difficult to implement the new game plan when under so much pressure from Hawthorn.

On a positive side, Spencer is a very tall boy, and once he gets some meat on his bones should make for a very good ruckman!

Correction. It will make him tall with some weight. The ruckman issue is a separate matter and no certainty.

Thanks for the comments on Grimes. There is definitely a position or five for him when he returns.

Appreciate that. Thanks
