will agree with people here . he had a good game.
i reckon though what he produced against the saints has to be  the norm. he really has needed to add that run and rebound to his game to warrant a place. thing for me is its barely enough.

also when physically challenged is where i want to see him stand up. been a bit soft has grimesy,
The guy has had the stuffing taken out of his confidence because his body has failed him so many times. This is the Grimes that we saw briefly before the first Hamstring went twang.
Hopefully he can get continuity in his health. I'm sure if he has that he will make these games the norm.

Unremarkable career and wondered if his spaghetti arms were better suited to a role as Popeyes missus as opposed to a defenders role at the Tigers.
He's hung in there and hopefully the trajectory continues to be positive with form and fitness over the next 5 years (as compared to his first 5 years  ;D)
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

No hiding I'm a fan of Dylan's.
I just think he plays with as much intensity as anyone.
He is quick, desparate, a good tackler, a very good spoiler but most importantly he takes the game on. And with the way footy is played these days everyone needs to be able to help out moving the ball from defense to attack.
With even more confidence, and experience I think he will get much more attacking and give us even more run off HB.
He also plays tall and small which is a huge credit to him.
Congratulations to him for 50 very good games, I hope he can stay fit as he could be a really important to us.
Let's hope we can have another good win for him.

If the games that he was injured are taken out of the equation he has a total of 36

Hold the 50 game applause for a few more games thanks folks

Played a good game against Collingwood. Needs to maintain that level of form.
