Our system feels as weak as a wet paper bag these days.

Stand rule hurt a lot and the personnel aren't able to execute it like 5 years ago.

Hate to break it to you Dylan but it didn't stand up.

If it did we would have won

Can i add you can tell he is down on confidence and form when he is punching the ball in contests that he should be grabbing. Did that quite a few times yesterday.

[TigerLand]

Agree on Grimes punching vs marking. It was wet to be fair.

I actually think the defense has been decent this year, Rutten impact is obvious. Balta been solid and Young a great find. Defense is my least concern in all honesty.

Balta Young Gibcus is solid foundation for a long time.

TIGERS VETERAN WANTS TO PLAY ON

RICHMOND co-captain Dylan Grimes is keen to extend his career into a 15th season.

The triple-premiership defender, All-Australian and former best and fairest winner is among a host of veteran Tigers set to come out of contract at season's end, but is determined to play on into 2024.

Richmond will have decisions to make on a number of experienced stars, including Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Robbie Tarrant and Grimes, when their current deals expire later this year.

But the 31-year-old Grimes wants to play on, with his manager Marty Pask from Kapital Sports Group revealing that discussions with the club are gearing towards another contract being offered later this season.

"I expect him to be able to keep playing on," Pask told AFL.com.au's Gettable.

"He expects to keep playing on and Richmond's got a preparedness for that to happen, too. I would think he'd keep going. Everything with where that sits right now, I'd be very, very confident he'd be playing next year."

I'm guessing the Club's plan going into this season was that this year would be Jack and Cotch's last year. Then Grimes finishes up in 2024. It will depend on how Grimesy finishes this season. You don't want too much experience leaving all at once. You want to space the retirements out so we can replenish our list as we go without doing a Hawthorn and crashing to the bottom of the ladder.

[WilliamPowell]

Still believe if he didn't have the burden of captaincy he'd be playing alot better

yeah I agree. He hasn’t been the same player since he got it

[Andyy]

Honestly if this guy wants to talk about 2024 he needs to pull a finger out of his ass.

Been pathetic this year. A shadow of his former self.

[The Machine]

The game has passed this old warrior

[Buddysucks]

Yep, he’s getting beat in the air and at ground level these days. Doesn’t provide any run or outlet options anymore.

Finished.

Charlie Cameron will be licking his lips waiting for round 16.

Cooked - pee him off

'It wasn't like a Richmond brand' - Grimes

Wish they’d stop using this sort of terminology in their press conferences and interviews. We haven’t had a consistent distinguishable style since 2020.

[one-eyed]

Like Nank, fellow co-captain Grimesy also had arguably his best game for the year. Dylan had 8 defensive intercepts by the way.
