Dylan Grimes [merged]

Love this bloke. My favourite Tiger and hands down the most underrated player in the comp.

Richmond's rock comes to the rescue ... again

In a star-studded Richmond team, it says a lot that underrated defender Dylan Grimes is among the most highly valued inside the four walls of Punt Road. Time and time again, the reliable defender is able to produce – no matter the opponent or the situation. Without fellow key back David Astbury, Grimes started Friday night's game against Essendon on Jake Stringer, moved to Cale Hooker and also played as the floater across half-back. But regardless of where he was used, he did his job effectively. A crunching 50/50 contest at an important stage of the game against Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, which he won, led to a Dustin Martin goal and typified his night. He finished fifth in the best and fairest in a premiership team last year, highlighting his importance, while his coach Damien Hardwick expects him to do similar again this season. Perhaps he may even be recognised with a maiden All Australian guernsey as well. - Riley Beveridge

AA this year. Has to be.

Put all of our back 6 in the squad of 40

"In a star studded Richmond team"

still not used to Richmond being described as that.

[Tiger Tragic]

He can play on Cale Hooker, Jake Stringer and Eddie Betts. And kills them all.

Should be AA but won't be as he is too unassuming, doesn't stand out.

[big tone]

I don’t think he can be ignored anymore.
He has gone up a couple of levels this year imo.

Dylan Grimes does the little things to help his team win. His nine one percenters are the equal-most on the ground, and include three spoils resulting in a Richmond possession. He has also taken three intercept marks, the most of anyone on the ground.

Another great game by Grimes. Just doesn’t get beaten.

AA selectors got this one wrong IMO.
Grimes has been a star this year but even better tonight.
I’m happy for him.

[WilliamPowell]

Absolute star, gun have thought so for a number of years now

Media has finally caught up

I can not believe he did not start in the backline for the AA team. Grimes absolutey torched his opponents all night. Is an absolute jet

Just waiting for the peanut to say he doesn’t get enough possessions
