    agree, aussie and morton are making the games worth watching. Grimes is on the long term injury list, when a player is put on there they must miss at least 8 weeks from that point. Its been 2, so that means he has at least 6 and a maximum of the rest of the year if grimes doesnt get better before the years out. I watched the game again on tape tonight and after a big chase aussie pulled up a bit lame and took himself off and the commentators commented that it looked like he may have strained something or maybe it was cramp? any1 heard anything either way?

    As many as he games as he is selected for until Grimes is able to play again.

    And I think that means play at any level, so Wona will be back with Sandringham when Grimes is.

    A mid-season retirement would allow him to play for the rest of the season

    Grimes is out for 8, and there is no guarantee he will be fit to go at all this year. Grimes will take at least 3 weeks to hit match fitness, so 11 weeks from now best case scenario for Grimes debut.

    Given our run of injuries, I am sure someone else will be placed on the IR list, allowing Aussie to play as many games as he earns.

    And as IWAP stated, mid-season retirements. If Neita, White, Yze, Holland do something major, it is lights out Career over. Those boys know if they couldnt make it back to hang it up and allow a kid to carry the torch. And one other thing, if we are 0-12 in 8 weeks,we could see the ol forced retirement (the subtle shove out the door- youth policy).

    As long as Aussie works hard Bails will find a way to keep him playing.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
