(2018 Round 19 Qtr2)
Think he has alot on his mind outside football.I feel like shooting Bambi...
But I personally thinks Grimes has no where near his form of the last 4 years...
He's had 2-3 games of what we are used to, but the rest are average (by his standards) at best...
I recognise the whole back 6 has been under the pump this year which hasn't helped, but I reckon he's getting beat 1v1 more than ever.
Are you f-ing serious?I feel like shooting Bambi...

The thing to consider here is that the stand rule has created a lot more one on one contests down back, and he's had to play on opponents who are much bigger and stronger than him due to the injuries to Astbury and Balta throughout the year. Ideally, he would be the third tall, as he was back when we had Rance, but we don't have the cattle for that any more.I feel like shooting Bambi...

All things considered, I think he held up pretty well this year.
Don’t underestimate Broad - very vital cog….he looks disconsolate at times and who can blame him. fighting a lone battle with balta and now dave out.
Calm down mate... And I didn't say he was a concern...Are you f-ing serious?
The midfield was decimated by injury this year, which put our defence under massive pressure and then we lost 4-5 of our starting defenders and he's had to carry the defence by himself with a bunch of kids.
Unbelievable, Grimes is the least of our concerns
What's going on there?Think he has alot on his mind outside football.
With his winery.What's going on there?
Off field challenges are often the most telling for players
Agreed, especially given how few players have played every game this year (Short, Baker, Graham & Jack), Grimes has only missed the 1 so farNot sure how others have viewed his season but all the challenges to consider he's top 3 B&F for mine.
