Richmond keen to keep Grimes' at Punt Road

RICHMOND remains in talks to re-sign out of contract key defender Dylan Grimes as he recovers from a stress fracture in his foot.
Grimes will be sidelined for the next six to eight weeks, and in a moonboot for the next fortnight after he suffered a stress fracture in his metatarsal bone.
It is understood the important defender suffered the setback because he was compensating for an existing toe injury when running, putting pressure on the outside of his foot.
Grimes was sidelined for long periods through 2011 and 2012 with hamstring injuries, but his latest setback will not influence contract talks, which are ongoing.
"He'll be in a moonboot for a week or two and then it just needs time to heal really," general manager of football Dan Richardson told AFL.com.au.
"He'll obviously keep himself fit with upper body stuff, but he's got to be careful about putting too much load on his foot.
"It won't be long until he's up walking and able to do some work on the machines we've got in the gym that decrease the amount of pressure through his feet."
Grimes has played just 22 games since he was recruited in the 2010 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft (No.2 overall), but he has shown great promise as a key defender when available.
He has played five games this season, the last against Geelong in round six.
Richmond captain Trent Cotchin emphasised Grimes's importance to the team on Thursday, both as a player and a young member of the Tigers' leadership group.
"It's been really challenging for him and he hasn't played a lot of footy, but we see him as such an important player to our structure," Cotchin said.
"Last year when he was injured he went and watched a number of VFL games and filmed particular players that played in similar positions to him and gave them direct feedback.
"The great thing about 'Dyl' is when he is injured he finds things that keep him involved.
"He finds ways he can impact the younger guys and fast track their development, which is exactly what we want out of our leaders at this club."

If Grimes has a stress fracture in his meta tarsal (which if I'm not mistaken is the sameish bone Conca's hurt) and is out for 6-8 weeks. Is it fair to say if Conca has missed 6-8 weeks he actually had a fracture?

Nah Conca is weak. :shh :whistle

But they have said Conca's had not developed into a stress fracture, they got it early hence only 4-5 weeks for him.
Have heard he is a chance to play next week

Isn't he wearing a moon boot. I'm no sprinter but i reckon I've got him covered with his poor little sore foot. ;D

Must be a lot of those things because he is permanently injured. Wouldn't offer him much at the contract table. Don't need another Moore.

Not asking what the club said. Saying if he misses 6-8 can we say its a fracture
-
2 year deal with an incentive based bonus clause for total games played with >70% game time, and B&F position.
Could become a list clogger if consistently off the park.

What if I told you at the player sponsor dinner that Conca said it wasn't a stress fracture and it was only a hot spot? Would that be better?

Grimes, Tigers talk

Dylan Grimes is hopeful of a two-year contract extension, as discussions between the injured Richmond defender and his club continue.
Grimes, 21, is out for up to eight weeks because of a foot problem, continuing his luckless run with injury.
His manager Anthony McConville said discussions were ongoing.
''We have been in discussions with the club over the last number of weeks,'' he said. ''We will continue to have dialogue as the season unfolds. Obviously, it would have been nice having Dylan out there playing. No doubt the club would love him to be out there.
''We will be talking probably a couple of years if we are to extend.
''He is in the leadership group. He is highly respected, not only by the leadership group, but also the coaches. To be in the leadership group with a limited amount of games experience says a lot about the person and his character.''
It is understood McConville and the Tigers agree over the length of the contract.
Grimes, the brother of Melbourne's Jack, has endured eye and a series of hamstring injuries and has been restricted to 22 of a possible 53 matches since his debut in late 2010.
