Poor Grimesy. He idolised Rancey so much so that he took it upon himself to emulate the staging. Unfortunately, just like Frank Grimes, he is taking it to the next level and end up destroying his own reputation.

Not according to the richmond hierarchy or Gil....

Who was that player the Eagles had? Steamed Hams or something. That little campaigner invented diving.

Anyway I watched the game on Saturday and didn't see what Grimes is supposed to have done. Where's the video? Or was it a general "Dylan Grimes has two flags and I have none" whinge?

Difficult to be unloved by supporters of two clubs after 300+ games, but Goddard might just have managed it.

Nice deflection away from the shitshow that is Essendon by Goddard.

Nothing distracts the lame like dredging up a controversial topic from months ago. He could have at least waited for a week in which grimes had been accused of staging to make it a bit less obvious.
What's funny is the blokes having a go, Cornes, Goddard, Lloyd, were massive stagers.

The bloke owns a winery and 2 Richmond Premiership medallions. For most mere mortals, that is a winning lottery ticket that would have one smiling from ear to ear, even on the coldest Macedon morning.

That's not enough for the best defender in the business though. Now he's triggering oppo supporters on a weekly basis.

You're taking the piss Dylan, behave son. 😂

Guess he won't need to stomp the grapes when he can just dive into them

what would cause more salt. that it was a dive that lost geelong the game, or that grimes's dive was successful in winning the game whereas dangers dive in last years prelim wasnt?

Young Paddy went quiet after his dive in the Prelim. His lack of impact no doubt costing them the game.

In conclusion, one is always guaranteed maximum salt when Geelong lose. :)

Are Tiger fans the most emotionally fragile in all of footy?

After the first flag, I get it, you're up and about and haven't been here before so you don't know how to deal with all the ribbing that comes with the territory of being reigning premiers.

After the second? Lighten the * up.

Funny a Carlton flog having a crack at Grimes.... my memory goes back to the biggest stager Ever Carlton ruckman John Nicholls.... His flop from a missed whack by Neville Crowe cost the man a premiership medal... utter scum
