Just a back up forward? Or does it bode ill for Leuenberger?

You're right. We really have a wealth of other options. Like... uhh...Not sure what Bombers are gaining here. They should hardly be picking players for the VFL squad which is all Grimley will be useful for in reality.
Good forward with a pretty decent kick, strong mark, lacks footy smarts and goes missing a lot, and I don't think the word defend is in his vocabulary. I can only think that the choices for ruckman/ forwards at the second string leagues are running very thin.
Regardless good luck to the you man. I honestly do wish with him the best and I hope he proves me very, very, very wrong.
Name a better key forward option out there.Not sure what Bombers are gaining here. They should hardly be picking players for the VFL squad which is all Grimley will be useful for in reality.

I hear people say he lacks defensive skills but as a forward, surely his first job is to take a mark and kick a goal. He has not been recruited to be Essendon's main focal point but more as a third forward.
If there was a tall forward out there capable of being anything more than decent on an AFL list, they'd already be on an AFL list.....and the only forward in modern footy who may be forgiven for not having a good defensive side to his game is the main focal point. All others need to be able to chase, harass, not get exposed going the other way.
Goes to show how shallow the pool is right now.

This is silly. Our regular fringe guys will all be up in the seniors, we absolutely need players to fill the void leftNot sure what Bombers are gaining here. They should hardly be picking players for the VFL squad which is all Grimley will be useful for in reality.

I remember one Jenkins who couldn't get a game at Essendon, now is an important part of the Adelaide forward line, plenty of players have improved at their second club, just as many talented ones have never taken their chances at any club.
Big difference in the profiles between Jenkins and Grimley.
There may be but Jenkins was clearly unable to get a game at Essendon, for reasons I've never known but clearly he has taken his chance at Adelaide.
That's more like itFact is Grimley has (as a key forward/ruck) sat behind Franklin, Roughead, Hale, Ceglar and to a lesser extent Schoenmakers and Gunston for the past 4-5 years.
He may just take this chance and produce for you guys. If so, well done to all.

Probably because he was on the rookie list and we had no need to elevate him to the senior list.There may be but Jenkins was clearly unable to get a game at Essendon, for reasons I've never known but clearly he has taken his chance at Adelaide.
