Universal Love 2. Dylan Grimes Retirement

[prodigy]

Agree with the previous comments. It's time for him to understand where he is at in his career and that we need minutes into this emerging backline.
He can still offer a lot at VFL level in terms of guidance for the kids there.
Only comes in if injury necessitates.

Thought Grimes was more than decent first half last week before getting carved up late when he was clearly injured. Keep him going, on rotation with some other senior guys. Must keep Miller and Young going while they are competitive.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Yeah I think Grimes has actually been alright to start the season, but it's hard to know if we should bring him back in after that win.

Retire and open up a mid season pick

Legend of the club but as others have said, we’ve got capable youngsters who need games. Would put the ball in his court to play out the year as insurance or retire with a big farewell game in the first half of the year

Obviously I respect Grimes a ton 3x premiership champion defender.
he should be back-up only at this stage if we get injuries.
He should be playing in the VFL this year & helping coach the players not getting a game.

Latest injury report is not good reading when it comes to Grimes. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a retirement announcement soon. We have enough mid-year draft picks already so I'd assume he will announce retirement within the next six weeks and he will be available if we need him for the balance of the year once he is fit.

Legend of the club.

Either do it within the next 6 days or the week before his send off game.

We don't need anymore mid-season picks. I'm pretty sure we have 3 or 4. There's not enough depth of talent available for it to be worth picking up someone on top of those selections we already have.
No rush on his decision but it's inevitable.

We need fit players to help development and to speed up our rebuild. There’s some good talent available.

man's done his service to the club.
hopefully it's not the end just yet and we can squeeze out a farewell game.
At the G and in front of a thankful well deserved applause.

Career over. Sad ending to a great career. Legend.

 

[Hank Heavenly]

out for the season, but hasn't officially retired yet has he?

Yep, a legend of the club, you would expect the retirement to be announced within the next few weeks, if not days. Not everyone gets a fairytale send off unfortunately. What a player he was, seemed such a softly spoken shy kind of bloke but such a competitor once he crossed that white line. Never seen him take any short steps. All the best Dylan.

He hasn't but he will, surely.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Pretty shit we probably won’t get to see him on the green stuff again

Just as important to our premierships as Cotch, Jack and Dusty

 

[captain cotch 9]

Cheers Grimes. Great career.

 

[tugga]

Gets a farewell lap after we beat Dimma's Suns by 50 points in the final round at the MCG.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Think he went a year too long but he’s a champion of the club and what he did in 2019 was remarkable! Sad he won’t get a farewell game but I’m sure he will get a send off

 

[db26]

Love this guy remember a quote from Dimma said when I look at the magnets I don't need to worry about his man because he gets the job done.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

bigfooty boys trip to his winery in the off season make it happen

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

That’s him done, extraordinary career, underrated throughout his prime

All the best

sad final chapter to a fine career..
man's career could off ended early with chronic hamstrings..
it finishes as a 3× premiership champ

Done well considering myself and others almost gave up on him during all his injuries. It’s a shame if it ends this way.
