Well done Grimey. Nice to see a defender get the nod.

His game last week was better  :shh

Actually agree with your there

Perhaps because the week before the opposition was slightly better than the Dees  ;D

From the RFC Web-site:

DYLAN Grimes' decision to buy his own house and move away from older brother Jack was timed perfectly, yet by complete accident.

The young Richmond defender and the Melbourne co-captain had been rooming together after moving out from the family home, but Grimes the younger went his own way just in time for the clash between the two teams on Saturday.

As it happened, Jack trudged off a stern-faced leader of a team that had just lost its third consecutive game of the season, while Dylan put in a performance that earned him the round three nomination for the NAB AFL Rising Star award and helped the Tigers to their first win of the season.

I see Grimes as our own young Fletcher. Is quick to the contest, good kick and has 'go,go, gadget' arms.  :thumbsup

Well earned Dylan, particularly given how you overcame the injury last year!  :cheers

Great to see, well done Grimes, if he can get through this year unscathed and have a decent preseason next year..look out.

Great kid and future player.
Watching footage of him, I can just picture him in 3-4 years with a developed body, solid and controling the backline possibly.
