Found this report on Grimes from the footydraft site: http://www.footydraft.com/jack-grimes/

On the contrary, I believe that we are finally on the right track after a wasted decade, but we need to learn from our mistakes.

In my day I was consistently clocking about 11.1 in the 100m, which I though was fairly quick but I'm sure these guys would make that look slow - it's all relative!! Grimes was never considered to be quick in underage footy, not slow either, I guess you could draw comparisons to McLean.

I take your point about sarcasm, it was just in complete dismay in another threadthat someone could put so much pressure on a kid who hasn't even played a single game, to expect him to be the obvious replacement for Neitz at FF is bewildering. Obviously we have to work with what we've currently got and the names you've mentioned are the standouts so far, perhaps one or two may put their hands up but in reality we have alot of work to do to rebuild the list. Morton is an interesting prospect, and I guess it really depeneds on what happens with his body. If he develops into a bigger body he could definitely hold down a KP, however I'm more expecting him to be a tall skillfull winger. The kid really coould be anything.

True, but we don't have the talent in our midfield to make up for it.

Read rogues reply, he clearly does not see himself as being quick, which is an accurate assessment. I've never said that he is slow.

Correct, we are rebuilding. That is the point I'm trying to make. But what are the reasons why we find ourselves in a position where we are forced to rebuild the list?

Key forward you say? We have Newton and Zomer! Our search is over!

In your dreams. Zomer is our replacement for Neitz? This one comment sums up your entire reply. A guy who hasn't even played one single game for Melbourne is our replacement for David Neitz at FF? Hell he's played just one game for Sandy and you've decided to annoit him as our next FF? FFS don't put too much pressure on the poor kid, at least let him play a couple of games of footy first. pfft, the sadest thing is that you actually believe the tripe you post here. PS Even Grimes describes himself as one paced, you have no idea at all *shakes head*

I think Frawley's strengths are not suited to a KP role, he seems to be play his best when he's a rebounding flanker playing on the mid size forwards.

I completely agree, in fact why stop there? Let's look at the whole picture! - No obvious replacement for Neitz at FF - No CHF - No obvious replacement for White in the ruck - Poor leadership - One paced midfield - No marquee player - KP defenders have little experience - No depth You're absolutely right, all we have to do is fix these simple problems and we'll easily have a premiership in our hands, in fact I'm completely amazed that we haven't won the last 3 in a row with our brilliant list. CAC is a freakin genius with his skillful list management, and you're also 100% with your comments about the outrage, with everything being said around here people would think that we're dead last on the ladder!

I remember thinking exactly the same thing, he really worked hard a couple of times and should have been rewarded for his efforts. It's very encouraging seeing a kid of his age and experience work that hard up and down the ground.

Terry Wallace is actually the 'Baron of [censored]', I think Robinson annoited him such

Ah Strawbs! How good were the days watching him and Stynes fighting it out for the rucking duels!!

Yeah I agree, Nathan embodied the club man spirit, he gave everything for the team and was loved by anyone who knew him.

Actually he was a bit of a [censored]. The decision as a bewildering one.

Actually he's been heavily tagged in both games and hasn't dealt with it very well. He's a junoir who has relied heavily on his natural ability to get him through, his reputation for not working hard enough has been around for quite awhile.

Actually I've discussed my opinions with the man himself, he was more than happy to dissect and examine his own record, he always is happy to be consistently evaulated. It's refreshing considerign you can't even discuss the subject here with some idiot screaming 'heresy!'. God there are some absolute tossers on this site who think they're far more important than they really are.

You mean like completely [censored] up how many top 5 picks Melbourne has had over the last decade? After reading this I can see how the topic of detail could elude you. I'm not going to bother to reply to the rest of your dribble, what's the point when you can't even get simple facts correct? Added to that you're actually quite boring. Have fun with your obsession. Edit: I just can't help myself, it's far too easy. On the topic of future guns that you're so adamant about, Matty Whelan is 29 y/o and you label him a future gun? I guess it's just in the detail, isn't it? Next time dd try to make it at least a little challenging. ta!

Naitanui had another good game, Rich another poor one, so those who have been saying that he is the obvious safe choice to you still feel the same after two sub par performances?

..and his footballing skills vastly outweighed his personality as well. A truly bewildering decision, perhaps WJ could clarify this hero for us.

The only thing wrong with your argument is that West Coast aren't very good without Judd and Cousins.

If we could get him and Jetta with picks 17 & 18 I'll be absolutely stoked.

Yeah right, your response clearly shows that you can't grasp basic concepts, but that's ok, I'm happy for you to continue throughout your whole life clinging onto the (perceived) knowledge that if we had of just held onto Daniher and CAC for maybe another couple of decades (once they all matured, who they are I have no idea) we may be lucky enough to sneak into the top 8 again and chance a couple of flukey finals wins. Perhaps we might have even made another grand final and who knows, perhaps we could better our last effort of a record losing margin? I'm happy though that the club has decided to go down another track.

What a complete bore you are, I've never stated that CAC is solely responsible for our current plight, and as a self confessed obsessed fan of my opinions you of all people should know this. It is true that I was one of the first to question CAC's god like status on demonland.com, but I've never been one of the masses who are impressed by a handful of visits. That post was directed at someone who made the comment that we have about a dozen guns on our list and using that to prove that CAC's record was fantastic, but of course you could take any comment out of context in a bid to back up your argument. You're right, I'm learning the whole time. I expect never to stop learning throughout my entire life. For example over the last 24 hours I've learnt that you're one of my biggest fans, also you post about topics that you don't fully understand. I guess that's the difference between someone who accepts that he'll never stop learning and someone who thinks that they know everything.
