Put him down

Guys relax - it’s harvest time in the vineyard - dude has been picking gapes 20 hours a day for the past couple of weeks.
Will be bold, we’ll rounded and fined come round 1.
Will be bold, we’ll rounded and fined come round 1.
A bit of column A and a bit from column B.
Age is deteriorating his one on one game and at times he’s trying sly old tricks that makes it an even contest. But he’s being caught with this a lot now and it costs us goals. With 4 umpires backman like Grimes just don’t have a hope in hell of getting away with this stuff anymore.
Also Melbournes ball movement yesterday made our whole defence look slow to get back. He wasn’t the only one caught out of position. Wasn’t able to play his game at all yesterday.
Will be much better against teams in bottom 8. But the top tier teams are troubling grimes.

His biggest asset was his speed, he’s aged and is a tad slower but he’s still a good defender, don’t think he’s elite anymore though
I’m calling it, 2023 will be his final season

His marking was quite good too 2021. 2022 he Tarrant and Gibcus new to the club. Balta and Baker back in defence. Rioli new in the backlin A very green miller too.
Vlas and Broad were the only consistents and Broad seemed to take the intercept role. Grimes was injured a bit and did a few dumb things..
Plus new captaincy.
I was hoping that he'd worked through that. Mind you I haven't seen any preseason games.

Was at the game, I think he’s still got his speed and a couple of times attacked the ball in the air well.
They all looked about 10sec behind the game down there, they’ll come good if we can get Tarant on the ground.

Time to put him out to stud, we need a few sons out of our current batch of premiership stars
100% He plays in 2024
We will have Trent , Jack , Tarrant , Castagna all retiring
We dont need to lose another leader and we need him another year so Brown & Gibcus mature and are ready

Yeah fair enough but we still have plenty of leaders at the club, Nank, Lynch, Prestia, Rioli, Vlastuin & even Dusty I know fans don't see him as a leader but inside the walls they do say he has leadership.

Is he's leadership helping us win games though or improve our defenders? I know he is inj at the moment but we really need Gibcus & Balta playing together a lot next season.

Grimes grabs Jack Dyer Medal
Triple Richmond premiership star defender Dylan Grimes has won the 2021 Jack Dyer Medal.yeah 2021 was a real stinker
To be fair to Grimes last year he was smashed with injuries. Our midfield was so shite our backline was bombed more than Pearl Harbour. He's in his twilight and at full strength with Gibcus, Tarrant and Broad in the team he should be taking an easier opponent to concentrate on leadership. I love Grimesy, he cost nothing as a rookie, his luck with injuries nearly ended his career but he put in the hard yards. Compare him to his brother a highly touted low draft pick who barely scraped in 100 nothing games.

Based on 2023 form, that's a big no.
Retire with a little bit of dignity.
Form has been going steadily backwards for 3 years now.
Considering how our defence is travelling this year. Yes he is.
Midfield and forward line are where the issues are currently.

Four games out of 23 and you're ready to knife the club captain. Steady on.
Won the 2021 Jack Dyer Medal 18 months ago and had injuries last year. Bloody champion who if he gets a clean run at it will be fine.

His defending has been fine this season. His ball use and decision making has been terrible. I’d be more concerned if his direct opponent was dominating which isn’t happening.
The decision making and ball use can be rectified easily, inability to defend, not so much.

In: Gibcus
Out: Grimes
Easiest call to make when Gibbo is ready

Get grimes off the keys and let him see his twilight year as a measly back pocket.

THIS...
Let him be the third defender/interceptor, rather than tackle the big boys.... would be great at it
