Thought he was better than a 5 rating- he is such a good, no, a great player!

Dylan Grimes – 5
Didn't win nearly as much of the footy as he normally does, with just four disposals, but completely shut Gary Rohan out of the game.

Dylan Grimes
Grimes struggled with just the one touch in the first half after taking the extra responsibility when Vlastuin left the ground. Gary Rohan did well to keep him out of the play, with the All-Australian unable to intercept mark with ease.

Rating: 3

Grimes was well held but it's also fair to say Rohan was embarrassed. 5 touches and no scoreboard impact.

Have a nice offseason splitting from your missus you cheating dirtbag Rohan.

Grimes' stalker forced to apologise (7news)

Grimes' stalker has escaped a jail sentence. Has to write a letter of apology to Dylan and donate I think they said $1000 to the A&M Foundation.

The online stalker who made death threats is a 54 year old Essendon supporter who they claimed was drunk at the time.

I personally find it disgusting that this low life piece of crap escaped a conviction.  He committed a criminal offence and should be used as an example to anyone else out there who feels entitled to do the same

I hate the way people get a get out of gaol free card because they were intoxicated or affected by drugs. They made the decision to use these substances they should bear all the legal result as if they were sober.

Also using the word passionate to describe him is wrong. Maybe so but there are many passionate supporters of all clubs who don't issue death threats. Deluded would be a better word.....although deluded Essendon supporter describes quite a few of them. Need another adjective.

however this guy needs mental health services

This summarises the issue with our legal system. Let’s justify the behaviour instead of stopping it in its tracks. The use of illicit drugs warrants its own punishment but its offered up and accepted as an excuse.

Got off lightly indeed. Which is no great surprise

Agree Gracie, another lowlife coward hiding not only behind his keyboard but being drunk to get out of copping his right whack.

Case for the defence: How Grimes is one victim of new rules (Age)

Case for the defence: How Grimes is one victim of new rules

By Wayne Carey
The Age
9 April 2021


Footy’s new faster gamestyle has given every coach plenty to think about.

Whether it’s down to the man on the mark rule, fewer rotations or a combination of both, the game has changed – and mostly for the better.

Clubs employ analysts who work with the coaches to identify which trends are here to stay and which others might fade as fast as they’ve emerged.

Three rounds is a small sample size, but already it’s clear forwards are getting more time and space inside 50 due to quicker ball movement.

While much of the focus has been on the attacking side of the game, the biggest adjustments may come in how teams set up defensively.

Right now, there are defenders who are being exposed.

In the age of ‘team defence’, applying pressure further up the ground has been a must. The theory is simple: if forwards apply enough pressure, the defence can better set up to create a turnover.

It also allows defenders to zone off and help their team-mates, ensuring they’re rarely forced to play one-out.

Now, that is changing.

While the stats don’t show a dramatic rise in one-on-one contests in the forward 50, that can be explained by the fact the ball is moving so quickly that defenders often aren’t in position to make a contest with their opponent.

They’re so used to guarding space, rather than an opponent, they’re being caught out.

There are a couple of players worth a closer look – not because they’re the worst culprits, but because they’re two of the best players in the competition, who might need to adjust.

Dylan Grimes and Harris Andrews would be among the first picked in any defensive setup. They have the ability to both nullify their opponent, and also zone off.

But have they’ve been hurt by footy’s new rules?

Shorter quarters last year mean that isn’t a fair reference point. But comparing a few key statistics from the early rounds of this season with their averages of 2019 there is a clear difference.

In 2019 – an All-Australian year - Grimes conceded, on average, 11.2 disposals, 3.8 marks and 1.2 goals a game. After three rounds in 2021, it’s 15 disposals, 6.7 marks and 1.7 goals.

Andrews, meanwhile, has gone from conceding 11 disposals, 4.7 marks and 1.4 goals a game to his opponent two years ago, to 12.3 disposals, 4.7 marks and two goals a match in 2021.

Interestingly, both have seen their average of one-on-one contests jump with Grimes going from 20.7% to 33.3% of his contests and Andrews 25.5% to 33.3%.

As always, statistics can be deceiving, but it begs the question about whether this is an anomaly or a trend.

How much will defenders – even of the calibre of Grimes and Andrews - have to adapt?

If the current trend continues, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a shift in how defenders are viewed at the junior level, in terms of their ability to shut down an opponent, and also how they’re coached once they’re in the system.

Right now, I assume every coaching group would be spending more time focusing on one-on-one contests, positioning and bodywork.

But that coaching is two-fold.

The best defenders, like Grimes and Andrews, are constantly making decisions about when to stay with their opponent and when to leave them to help team-mates.

Those decisions are no longer as simple.

Having said that – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – I do have a level of sympathy for the current defender.

The way they’re being umpired makes things that much harder.

The great defenders of the past, guys like Bruce Doull, David Dench, Glen Jakovich and Stephen Silvagni, got away with plenty.

They’d scrap and fight for every contest.

Now, though, there seems to be more ‘ticky-touchwood’ free-kicks being paid against defenders: whether it’s a slight arm around the body, or holding of the arm.

Often, you’re left wondering what their alternatives are.

Still, the current defender could do worse than channel a bit of Doull or Dench in making sure they beat their opponent first and then attack from there.

Darcy Moore is one player who’s got the balance right.

While Joe Daniher probably got the better of him the other night, Moore, this year, has shown he generally knows when to play tight and when to leave his man and fly for the footy.

So how do Grimes and the Richmond defence respond?

When Alex Rance went down with injury with injury before retiring, Grimes was the man that stepped up to take control of that defence.

But he also had a willing partner in Nick Vlastuin who could play the third-man up role to perfection and, as we know, Vlastuin is out injured.

It means Friday night’s clash against a potent Port Adelaide forward-line looms as an intriguing test. Could this be the round we start to see a shift in defensive thinking?

Man faces court charged with stalking Richmond’s Dylan Grimes (Age)

Man faces court charged with stalking Richmond’s Dylan Grimes

By Adam Cooper
The Age

A man has faced court accused of threatening and abusing Richmond defender Dylan Grimes and his wife in the days after the footballer received a controversial free kick in the Tigers’ win over Essendon last year.

Christopher Zammit allegedly sent abusive messages to Mr Grimes on the footballer’s Instagram account, which allegedly included a threat he would rape the footballer’s wife. Police allege the messages carried an intention to cause physical or mental harm to Mr Grimes and arouse fear or apprehension.

According to charge sheets released by Frankston Magistrates Court, Mr Zammit sent the abusive and threatening messages on August 23 last year, the day after Mr Grimes was awarded a contentious free kick in the Tigers’ win in Darwin.

The free kick denied Essendon’s Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti a goal. Mr Grimes was later accused of staging to get the free kick but was ultimately cleared of doing so by the AFL tribunal.

Mr Zammit, 40, of Frankston, faced court on Tuesday charged with two counts of stalking, two of using a carriage service to menace and one of making a threat.

Police also allege that on July 31 and August 1 last year, Mr Zammit abused AFL umpire Andrew Stephens in three voicemail messages left on a mobile phone connected to Mr Stephens’ business.

That alleged abuse came in the hours after Mr Stephens was one of three umpires who officiated in a game between Essendon and the Brisbane Lions which the Bombers lost.

Mr Zammit appeared before magistrate Fiona Stewart via a video link and had his bail extended to his next appearance on June 23. The court heard his lawyers and police were in discussions about finalising the case.

Mr Zammit is one of two men who were charged with stalking Mr Grimes in the days after Richmond’s win over Essendon.

In December, Essendon fan Andrew Alexander, of Mitcham, was spared a criminal record on the promise he be of good behaviour for six months and donate $1000 to a charity after sending a series of abusive emails to Mr Grimes and the winery the footballer runs with his wife.

Mr Alexander sent the emails – which included threats that Mr Grimes was “f---ed” and “f---ing dead” – while he was drunk two nights after the game, the court heard in December.

A magistrate also ordered Mr Alexander to write a letter of apology to Mr Grimes and his wife.

In August, Mr Grimes shared on Instagram some of the messages sent to him and wrote that he wanted to remind Essendon fans “this is a game we play for fun”.

Concussion will keep Mr Grimes out of Friday night’s grand final rematch against Geelong.
