Just watched the last quarter of the famous 2009 victory over West Coast. Jack Grimes slaughtered them. He took 17 marks, all of his kicks hit targets, he was inspirational.
What happened? Was it the burden of being made captain way prematurely?
As an adjunct, I was at the Casey Box Hill game yesterday, near where the players interchanged and when I saw Jack Trengove up close I couldn't believe how young he looked. He was made captain 5 years ago. What a death sentence by the Melbourne Football Club.
Or, do we just blame Mark Neeld?
