Grimes fragility requires someone like astbury to pull the finger out
yep we sure need one of the big kpds to step up to allow rance to play the third tall role.
if astbury cant step up the one who should be taking grimes spot at third tall is mcintosh, that is if we even play and develop him as a defender .
Mc is way off the pace at this stage of his development, not even close to afl standard yet, needs a fair bit more development before we can think about him in the starting 22
Don't think he's that far off. His biggest issue was not being able to break tackles. What I liked was he didn't drop his head and kept trying to play his game. He'll learn from that and bounce back. Better than other kids who go into their shell when they make a mistake and don't want the footy.
Agree about not dropping his head, but would be surprised if he plays senior footy this season
This conversation, like our pre-season so far, suffers from a severe lack of Ben Darrou.
gotta say while i like aspects of grimes game, and i acknowledge injuries have stifled him, he must be the most over hyped tall defender in the afl. its unbelievable for a bloke whos managed just 9 games in any one season.
whoa claw hold up it will turn into a cry fest with supporters jumping to his defense.
lets just to date i dont see him as either a kpp or a running rebounder. hes another glass half full to date with the potential imo to be a fair bit better than that. he aint there yet and the love of him is sickening.
people do realise theres much more to the game than being third up and puching, seems not.
