A literal best 22

B: Grimes - Chaplin - Batchelor
HB: Houli - Rance - Yarran.   Fair dinkum its horrid Take the AA out and it is mediocre.

MID: McIntosh - Martin - B Ellis. Again atm its one A grader.
Ruck: Maric - Cotchin - Miles. Not too shabby but the ruckman is a concern.

HF: Deledio - Vickery - Edwards. Gotta ask is there really a pure fwd amongst them.
F: Lloyd - Riewoldt - Griffith. Thank god theres an A grader here becuse the other two are shiite.

INT: Grigg - Conca - Hunt - Lambert. If there was a place called plodsville this would be it. We need to improve on 9 to 11 players who are supposed to be best 22.

Don't rate Grimes? He's never going to be a pillar like Rance but I think he's one of those solid good players who really compliment a back line
He is as soft as they come.

stuffing what?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Didn't you watch the Elim final

Know it was painful but the Grimes hit was one of the few highlights of the day

He aint soft

Grimes soft lmao.

When you look at blokes like Chaplin, Houli etc Grimes is more akin to Jono Brown. Takes hits, gives hits, and actually attacks the ball with intent rather than worry about what his opponent is doing all the time.

If we ever win a flag with this crop, Grimes will be playing. That's how I see it, v good player, important, knows his role and fulfils it almost every week.

Could say exactly the same about Cotchin & Miles....

Ducking for free kicks really has nothing to do with being soft or not.

You could argue that it's cheap, mischievous even dirty, but not soft.

Surely that's not Claw's reasoning for Grimes being soft.

yeah not sure how deliberately taking blows to the head is soft

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
