Most reasonable punters would agree that Rance is the best full back in the league and that Jack Riewoldt is the best full forward in the league. Tom Lynch is still recovering from a PCL, is second favourite for the Coleman and is yet to hit his straps.He is also the straightest kick in the league.For mine he nudges out Cameron and Franklin . Dylan Grimes was sensational on the weekend and I tend to agree with Lee Gaskin from Afl.com.au, that Grimes is no 2 to Rance in the league.Thoughts??
"Dylan Grimes is the best one-on-one defender in the competition
Tom Lynch was superb, kicking six goals, but Grimes was just as important in getting an undermanned Richmond across the line against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday. Grimes had 17 disposals, 13 of them contested, to go with five contested marks and six rebound 50s. The 27-year-old finally received recognition last year when he was named in the 40-man All Australian squad for the first time. With Alex Rance sidelined for the year, Grimes is standing up and taking a leading role in the Tigers' defence. Grimes rarely gets beaten one-on-one and stands up when it matters the most.
