Congratulations to our 2007 captain Jack Grimes on his Round 14 NAB AFL Rising Star nomination. Jack who played with the Knights in 2006 and 2007 had endured a horror run with injury since being drafted Pick #14 in 2007 suffering from stress fractures in his back. However this season he has been able to string together some consistant games and has been a major contributor to the Melbourne defence. Jack gained this nomination with a best on ground performance in the Dees win over West Coast last week. He had 29 disposals took 16 marks and laid 5 tackles and was rock in defence in final quarter when the game was on the line. We wish Jack all the best for the remainder of the Season and hope he can continue this rich vain of form.
