It was a real shame Grinter never tamed his wayward ways. 134 games. Go back and watch highlights of him - not only tough at the ball, but very skilled on both feet, a strong mark and good football brain. Made others stand taller. Lack of discipline cost him 31 games and who knows how many more that consistency of playing would have given him. Never played more than 20 games in a season. Who knows where our teams under Northey would have finished with more output from Grinter. Should have been a 200 game player for the Demons http://demonwiki.org/Rod+Grinter

This is actually a very fair comment. No coach could have come into the MFC at that time and been successful. Complete failure of an organisation at that time. We are only just coming out of the woods.

Perhaps the tea leaves have been read and the club is preparing for the AFL being anti-pokies at some stage in the future. The agreement ends in 2021 so thats still 3 years of revenue we can collect while preparing other streams.

Very cool thread. In the same vein, I want to know where these people are now! The poor old duck in the Navy sweater!
