Jack Grimes?

Post: # 496962Post Joffa Burns »

Spoke to a scout (Geelong) two weeks ago on draft night and he said in his opinion Jack Grimes would be in the best 2 players from this years draft in the next 5 years.

Said he was a steal in the late teens as a choice.

I think he went to Melbourne?

Anyone with any knowledge care to elaborate.

Needs to bulk up a bit. (Yes, I admit this is a cheap and lazy effort that has probably been done before)

Grimsey is a hard worker who will run all day. Is quite outside and wins a lot of footy however the one weakness I have seen in him is the penetrartion in his kicking. Almost always goes to a short wide option at about 30m. 2nd and 3rd efforts are of a high standard.

Had an ankle injury leading up to the draft and missed the finals for the Knights.....would have made a real difference in the last Q of the prelim.

Seen him play quite a bit along with his younger brother, who will most likely get picked up as well.

Dominated at his junior club, very athletic although his commitment is sometimes a worry.

Very good player and right body type for the AFL the way it is atm.

I'd say he may get a few games this year.

And his friends call him Grimzey not Grimey :)

Grimes is a gun. Played 9 TAC Cup matches and averaged 28 touches. Was the most cosistent player in the U18 Champs for Vic Metro and the only one to stand up v WA when VM got pumped. A very modest and level headed good kid

He doesn't play for the Saints mate.

I'd be asking some Melbourne supporters :wink:
