AFL: Demons elevate a rookie forward

MELBOURNE, April 3 AAP - Zippy forward Austin Wonaeamirri has replaced injured Jack
Grimes on Melbourne's AFL primary list.

The Demons have elevated the 19-year-old from the rookie list, making him available
for selection against Geelong on Sunday at Skilled Stadium where he was named in an expanded
squad of 25.

Coach Dean Bailey has been impressed with Wonaeamirri during the pre-season, who played
senior football with Norwood in the SANFL while playing with Northern Territory Thunder.

Grimes, who was the Demons' second pick in last year's national draft, is battling
a back complaint.
