Not all superhero's are big tough dudes, Dylan defended like a masked marvel for many many years...

At his peak 2017 - 2022ish Grimes was better and more versatile than Rance ever was imo

Could play on smalls or talls without any fuss and still set up counters as good as anyone

Rance may of changed the way key position players played the game but Grimes was better

Dont agree sorry, that is one big call.

Never feel the need to apologise for being wrong

Na I understand that it’s a very big call to make and people would have different viewpoints on the subject that would be very valid

yep, i think both at their best is amazing, we could've done anything had Rance stayed on and peaked with Grimes.

 

[Lacustrus]

Loved some of the games he played on Betts. Still a shame injuries have ended his 2024 season and mostly his career.

Miracle he got to 200
Fantastic effort

Although Rance did benefit from having Grimes and Astbury play alongside him.

I think that worked both ways.

Add in Vlastuin, Broady and Bachar - killer backline we had!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Deserves a send off in front of the Tiger Faithful and team mates...needs to hear all our appreciation for being a dead set Legend!

 

[Morro]

The ultimate defender at his peak. There was nothing he couldn't do.

If not for Rancey over shadowing him, he would be up there with greats in alot more conversations.

Not sure I have seen a more flexible elite defender at the Tigs.

Absolute legend, underrated if anything, when we lost Rance the entire footy world wrote us off and Grimes turned into SUPERMAN to replace him, turned into probably the game's best defender for 2 or 3 seasons there. Who knows if he goes on or not but we're losing so many that I wouldn't be against him hanging around for 1 more year. Either way, cheers for the amazing times.

In that magnificent period of time by Grimsey...
I remember a chase down on the wing...
And a last Q marking highlight...

 

[The_Kraken]

A versatile defender who overcame early adversity to be part of an elite backline that was the foundation of our premiership dynasty.

I loved his attacking play and that he would regularly beat elite talls and smalls.

A Richmond great.

 

[THE_GUN]

I used to love how he lived rent free in alot of fowards heads
specially vroom vroom Cameron

 

[lizard man]

I hope his back is okay …. Is Louie also a chiropractor?

 

[Hank Heavenly]

I wonder if today's announcement will trigger Grimes announcement??

Go around the G together in Round 24?

This should’ve happened prior to the surgery

Grimes and Naismith soon you'd think

 

[Hank Heavenly]

Grimes and Naismith soon you'd think

you'd think,

But with all due respect to the crayfish, not sure he deserves the lap of honour with the other two.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

What a backline warrior! How quickly we all forget!
Grimes and Rancey the glue...the cement...the araldite that kept our backline strong!
Grimsey just gave our defence a point of superb difference!

 

[RichoLedio]

Surely the greatest psd pick of all time, heck we did alright in 2009 draft period

 

[SunshineBoy]

Is supposedly announcing his retirement today , Worcestershire sauce

 

[voorhees]

Would be a special moment to see Dusty and Grimes both do a farewell lap together in the final round.
Another chapter closes on our prem heroes..
Bring the noise and appreciation tiger army!

Strange he hasn’t announced his retirement yet. Is there a chance he stays on the list for another year purely as a mentor and coach given we won’t be stretched for lost spots given the departures and we can effectively pay him via the TPP instead of the soft cap?
