Uh oh, Dylan, here we go again.....

[Stripes]

Only tightness at the moment and he and the club will be very precautionary about any potential injuries so would be playing it very safe. I believe Astbury will claim the lions share of the 3rd tall defender this year regardless. He is a quick, strong and agile unit who has great disposal. Inexperience and composure has let him down in the past but I think he has shown enough last year to suggest he is moving beyond that flaw. With Grimes and Astbury both fighting for the same spot Dylan better pray he gets his body right.

Darrou will be a better player anyway

Darrou will be a better player anyway

He'll be delisted without playing seniors

Just checking....It is David Astbury we're talking about here isn't it ?  The slow , easily outbodied , glacier like moving , poor marking , averaged skilled bloke that wears number 12 for Richmond  ?
Let's hope Grimes can get on the park this year.

I'm pretty sure Mad Tigers got hold of Stripe's account!

Arseberry should've been delisted in 2011

Smart move by the club, does pose some questions going into the season though, how many time will this happen again, is it a once off, will his hammy just snap again???

I dont often agree with you but I dont see him having a big future in the game at this point.

lmao

this gets mentioned in another article and no one bats an eyelid.

a journo picks it up and turns it into headlines and it's chicken little time.

maybe some people didnt read the said article? I know I barely read these articles during preseason as they are mainly fluff pieces.

Dont know about the others but everytime I hear the word hammy and D.Grimes in the same sentence I cringe and expect the worse.
..With some justification I would have thought

in which case comment does not apply to you.

others though, commented on the article in question.

OER posted the second article within a minute of the first article & o.p, which at a glance looked like it was a double post as they were both about Rance, hence me ignoring he first article and only commenting on the second article, which made no mention of Grimes. A careless oversight on my part.

I would however also argue that a player with Grimes' history of injury yet again showing symptoms of a re-occurring problem that's plagued him since juniors, is at least cause for some concern.

Rookies never make it. Better off recruting state league players like clawski has been harping on about for decades

[Diocletian]

Darrou will make it. Josh Gibson Mk.II. Already better than Kelvin Moore ever was.
