SC 2014 Profiles: Jack Grimes

Looks like he might be working off the half back flank........

I picked him this year and he wasn't great, so I don't think I'll be going near him again.

hmmm, did not like reading that...
He was a risk with his injuries, with the midfield kicker. Now if he is moving back to defence I may pass.

I don't see why this is a surprise to anyone, I remember people saying he'd be a midfielder for the rest of his career and nobody would listen to me when I said he is a natural rebounding half back flanker.. His scores won't be too bad but for his price he is a definite no.

Got him in the last few rounds of last year when one of my defenders went down and he wasnt a bad scorer, so he wouldn't be the worst pick you cold have.

Yep +1, has always been best at the HB flank, only was used in the midfield because, well, you know, there was no one else. Craig trialed him as a tagger for a while, but that won't keep up. I'd be incredibly surprised if he is used as a shut down or tagging player.

Will he finally get over his injuries and become the player we all know he is? If you believe that, he should be your first picked defender. Last 8 games in 2012 he averaged a touch over 100, started 2013 well before he got injured, then when he came back, was used as a tagger.

Terlich seems to have locked down the rebounding defender role, so Grimes might play the half back/wing role that Harry-O had this year. Should average about 90 I think, and that is just awkward. Not enough of a rise to make decent money, and won't be one of the best 6 backs. Still pretty tempting though.

That is a likely scenario as well. 90 average from a back is OK, but you would like him to be a tad cheaper to make the decision easier

I don't agree with that personally. I think he's Melbournes best player with Jones and should be in the middle of the ground
