Grimes placed on long term injury list due to back complaints

[Guest melbman]

He has impressed in Melbourne’s NAB Cup and Challenge practice matches, with his forward line tackling pressure proving to be a highlight of his game

Hmmm

Defensive pressure in the forward line

Would be nice to see that this week

Isn't that funny. Doesn't look like Valenti will be getting elevated any time soon then

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Not great news about Grimes. Back injuries can hamper players for years, they can even prematurely end careers, as we well know.

Hopefully he'll be ready to go next year.

Well done to Aussie though.

Surely this is the end of Adem Yze's career?

In - Aussie

Out - Weetra.

Makes perfect sense!

[Axis of Bob 11,808]

We were good early last week when we had small forwards creating forward pressure. When that dropped off the ball was moved too easily.

It's no surprise that Aussie was the first elevated. But it is disappointing that Grimes will be a fair way off. But, given the year that it is, I'd rather they get it fully right rather than risk anything.

Bring him in straight away I think. I agree with the straight swap of Aussie for Weetra.

[jacey 333]

Yes, some forward pressure.

Disappointed about Valenti as he's a go getta. Limitations shimitations.

Get well Grimey.

A groin/shin related back complaint? Why are the club continually covering up the true aspect of his injuries?

[beelzebub 23,370]

Something Maric and Aussie like to do ..is make it hard for that ball to leave the forward line..

I could name somone else who just stood there on Sunday...but Id be accused of harping on !! lol

Onya Aussie.. keep at it mate

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Well we shall see if he gets a gig this weekend, hope he does, We need some one to chase out of the forward ine, but more importantly we need someone to crumb, since Davey has been thrown up the ground we do not have a player to crumb the talls and the ball flies out of the F50 like it was shot from a cannon.

[beelzebub 23,370]

Aussie is VERY good at picking the ball up without missing a beat. A good ol skill you dont se too much of.

[Whispering_Jack 30,102]

Disappointing about Grimes who was supposed to only be 3 or 4 weeks away but is now at least 8 away I suppose. The main thing however, is that he gets himself fit and ready to play later in the year and hopefully, can get touch of senior experience on the way.

Aussie would have to be a chance to gain selection for the Geelong game now as he has made the squad of 25.

effin sweet!!!!!!! this kid gives it a red hot go!

on ya aussie!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

OI OI OI

sad about grimes, it seems he is 426 all over again, but worse

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Good luck to Aussie. Has impressed the right people and has apparently been working hard to get fitter and shed more weight. Will likely play this week as Davey wont play.

Not good news about Grimes. A back injury is one that plagues you for the rest of your career usually. Considering he hasnt even played a game yet, and has been suffering back problems since he was 16 or so...not good news

I don't think this (But it is disappointing that Grimes will be a fair way off) is what their saying.

Stay tuned over the next month.
