Young is #2 in the AFL as a 1-on-1 defender according to this list.

Remember Rance and Grimes when they first started?

Thought Grimes was great from the get go myself.

Rance poor by foot but considerably more combative at ground level.

He has been  horrid and ordinary just shows stats by themselves are useless.

For the record i thought Rance very early on ordinary in one v ones especially when he had to just stand and defend one v one.
Of course that improved but i still dont think it was his greatest asset.

I watched a fair bit of him as a colts player at swan districts and his movement over the ground always stood out. Reckon often he struggled when stationary but was unbeatable when in motion.

Grimes was great defending, but it took him forever to start taking intercept marks and contested marks. All he did for a couple of years was master the spoil

Thought to tonight was his best game yet and tough opposition. Maybe he will continue to improve with some confidence.

Beat me to it. Have been critical myself but had buddy beat and had some really nice help defence, leaving his man at the right times.

I really rate Young. I know he had a ‘mare last week but so did the whole team. He is a fierce on the 1vs1 and has aggression on his opponent and the ball. I think that’s enough of a foundation that it’s worth persevering

I've been very critical with good reason

But thought he was very good against Buddy tonight

Well done Young man

Agreed, he is a competitor and has the ability to spoil incoming balls at will.
