Rod Grinter Riot Squad

Voluntary, Neeld era. one of most dishonest guys I have er had the displeasure of meeting

He is nothing but a troll

Mate, this bloke couldn’t lie straight in bed. Don’t take anything he says seriously.

Like he did over in the west against Fremantle

“ One player who won't be there is Jack Watts. The former Demon's trade to Port Adelaide was a key moment in Melbourne's off-season after the club made a "business decision" to part ways with the 26-year-old former No.1 pick. It was a decision that saw president Glen Bartlett receive calls and emails to "intervene" in the trade, while Mahoney was taken to task on radio at an emotional time for fans. Those at the club have no regrets however, after parting with Watts for pick No.31 and paying part of his wage at the Power. There is a sense from insiders that the Demons did not believe they would not make their way to a Grand Final with Watts on their list. His consistency in the contested aspects of the game and work ethic were doubted by key people at the Demons, and his fluctuations were tolerable from a younger player but not one with 153 games of experience. In a nutshell, according to one insider: "Young blokes come in looking for role models and Jack wasn't a good role model for our players". “ http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-21/dees-or-saints-who-ends-the-heartbreak-first

Am a huge fan of this kid. A fit Salem will finish the year in the top 5 in the Bluey, have top 3 for us with goal assists and stamp himself as a hard and skilled midfielder. He has every attribute to be an out and out gun IMO.

That was done to Beamer against Geelong

Surely this is the wrong video. That cannot possibly be the reason he got a fine.

TY

This was a big banner in the crowd on TV at the end. Anyone have any idea what this means?

I really hope Grimes gets to keep playing, would be thrilled for the family if he gets the chance to run out alongside his brother at Richmond. that said, can't say I am surprised at these delistings. Thanks for you contribution to the club Matt, Dean and in particular Jack.

Really? I remember Dunstall making a tackle in defence in a game when he had some 14 odd goals (16 by memory)

He was very good yesterday, but can't help but think if Grimes had the exact same game, all talk here would be about the out of bounds on the full in the forward 50 that cost us what should have been a simple goal. also, a player of his skill, should not be hand balling after a mark to someone like Frost, who is an average kick

My bad. sorry.

What I would like to see them investigate, unless they showed it and I missed it, was how Petracca had his goal overturned. The footage they showed said nothing, the commentary said if the get the definitive evidence they will show it, I never saw it...

Bit rich to say he gets away with it every week when it was his debut

May as well put it here. brilliant performance tonight by Matthew Hayman winning the prestigious Paris-Roubaix, only the 2nd Aussie to win it. well done.

Would be happy if he has the same attitude to tackling and the work rate of "skills"

Yes, he has had a few ordinary years, but considering how much of a shambles the Dons were in that time, it's understandable. As pointed out, if he can recapture his 2013 for, he's a bargain. I hope he can, though am still concerned about the elephant...

I quite like the thought as I know how much his family would despise seeing him in the red and blue

But you believe in being one ....

Always thought you were very right

Don't get to see as much footy now, very little of Essendon. I was in Australia for the Bombers game though and was annoyed that they dropped Melksham, so safe to say that the trade doesn't excite me. The WADA issue is why I personally wouldn't touch him. On the footy side, Roos has the runs on the board and Goodwin has worked with Melksham, so if such a trade happens, I will be reluctantly supportive.

I remember him at Essendon. It's why (to much ridicule) I argued that we should have recruited him on the old Demonology

My God you are painful
