A rookie list elevation, the 21-year-old battled
hamstring injuries for the second year in succession.

using his long arms to advantage and reading the play well,
and was rewarded with a Rising Star nomination early in 2012.

Gee we have high hopes for this fella... looks so at home as a quality defender and showed he was also developing very quickly as a rebounder and starter of offensive moves from the back half.
All of this from a couple of injury interupted seasons... God knows where he would be at if he had enjoyed a clean run!
Would love to see 22 (or 24
) games from him in 2013.
Bloke is as cool as a cucumber!

Tiger guns on the mend
By richmondfc.com.au, March 13, 2013
Richmond is pleased with the progress being made by key pair, Nathan Foley and Dylan Grimes, on the comeback trail from long-term injury problems and expects both players to have an impact, sooner rather than later, in season 2013.
Foley is recovering from a rupture of the Achilles tendon in his right foot, which he suffered last July, while Grimes is returning from the latest bout of hamstring surgery that he underwent late last year.
“They’re tracking well, although they definitely won’t play Round 1, Tigers coach Damien Hardwick told Fox Sports.
“Nathan is back to his previous best sprint work. We’ve just got to make sure we manage his loads and get him up and going.
“He’ll probably be back about Round 5-7, somewhere around there.
“Dylan is training full-time with the group now, and we’ve just got to make sure we get some game time into him.”
Hardwick admitted there were some initial concerns for Grimes’ long-term football future, when he again ripped the hamstring, during an early pre-season training session at Moorabbin, but they had now been allayed.
“We had a fantastic success with the operation, we found the problem and we are very confident the issue has been rectified,” Hardwick said.
“We look forward to Dylan playing a long and distinguished career for this footy club.”

Positive Richmond signs at Coburg
April 1, 2013
Richmond’s improved playing depth was highlighted in the final hit-out of VFL affiliate Coburg before the start of its 2013 home-and-away season.
A host of Richmond-listed players starred in Coburg’s 46-point win against the Northern Blues (14.13 to 7.9).
Young gun defender, Dylan Grimes, returning from his long-term hamstring trouble, was impressive at half-back, playing three quarters of the match (11 possessions, with three rebound-50s and three marks).

Two Tiger changes
Thursday, April 4, 2013
Young gun defender, Dylan Grimes, will play his first game for Richmond in more than nine months, when he lines up against St Kilda in Friday night’s encounter at the MCG.
Grimes, who has overcome significant hamstring trouble, has been recalled to the line-up, in one of two changes the Tigers have made for the Round 2 clash.
Former Melbourne utility Ricky Petterd will make his debut for Richmond, after missing the opening round victory over Carlton with a groin injury.
They replace Ben Griffiths and Robin Nahas, who have both been omitted.
Grimes, 21, 193cm and 88kg, has played 17 league games, with the last being in Round 14, 2012 against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
He sustained a severe hamstring injury in that match, which sidelined him for the remainder of the season.
Then, late last year, Grimes re-injured his hamstring at training and he subsequently underwent further surgery.
Now, following several impressive hit-outs at VFL level with Coburg, Grimes has forced his way back into Richmond’s side.

I know the board has been a full love in recently but I just want to say how good has Grimes been.
He has been easily our most improved player this year IMO and is so so solid. His reading of the play, body work and hands are really first rate
After injury plagued seasons he is really showing his worth.
Cheers Grimesy appreciate it campaigner

Great to see him playing well, but thought he was very good in 2012.
Jake Batchelor for mine is the surprise packet of the year. He's nullifying KPD's and doing it well.

Always loved grimes and he is repaying the faith. His second and third efforts are a joy to see. Its also a great * you to those minnows in the media to say we cant develop talent outside of the first round

Grimes and Batchelor are both unsung heroes in terms of our solid form.
Not flashy at all but quality finals performing teams always have soldiers like these guys down back.

McIntosh?
He was taken in the first round. Dennis Cometti said so it must be true.
It would have to go to McIntosh, been the surprise of the season for mine. Loving Grimesy's work though.
