The Tigers expect Dylan Grimes to take on Brisbane on Sunday despite the key defender being concussed in an incident that saw Tim Membrey suspended.

No chance, he's soft as they come

Miles and Grimes both playing according to Dimma.



Hardwick has injected some grunt into his engine room to combat Zorko and company, with contested-ball specialist Anthony Miles to play only his third game of the season after blistering VFL form.

Hardwick also confirmed Dylan Grimes will play against the Lions after overcoming a heavy knock sustained in an incident that saw St Kilda’s Tim Membrey receive a two-match suspension.

All great ins apart from broad
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I just relieved that Lloyd has finally been dropped. Been exceptionally disappointing for a number of weeks

No surprise with the others

And like you a liitel perplexed by Broad a fortnight ago agoant the Essendon he was average and that's probably beijg generous

I know he hasn't shown much in his few AFL games for us so far but Townsend has been in fantastic form all year. If you are looking for hardness look no further.

Menadue omitted for the being the only player who looked remotely like breaking lines and being an offensive threat in the first half last week.....#standards  :clapping

Haha ...right...and yet Prestia retains his spot....seriously, if that's why he was dropped then there's at least half-a-dozen who should've gone before him....

Surprised Bolton not recalled. Glad Miles recalled. Interesting to see where Broad will play. Agree with comment that there were numerous players whose disposal was no better than Menadue's last week including Prestia.
