His closing speed. His ability to win his one on one's. His versatility in matching up with different types. To be elite you need to be one of the best for your position. A guy who can play tall or small and shut down great forwards. He's not there yet but has all the tools.

He was on this track before all the injuries. If he stays injury free he's a type that could get it together.

I wonder will he get Chris Mayne this week. More likely he will have to stand one of Taberner, Pavlich or Clarke. None Of those three are a good fit for him
 
Has been very good this year, like the way he can play small and tall. I think he'll probably get Mayne or Taberner this week

Can only see Grimes getting better with the more consecutive games he plays in a row. He had a lot of injury setbacks to overcome when he was trying to establish himself as an AFL footballer. That can not be forgotten when rating his current form.

Grimes is going along nicely now and his versatility to play on either a tall or small forward is is very important to our defensive set-up.

His ability to play on tall and small is one of his major attributes and makes him ideal to play tagging roles. It may sound crazy but I would consider playing him on Fyfe. Has the height and speed, however, not sure if he has the smarts and stamina. Would be worth a try early and if he falls short then no great loss.

LOL. Doesn't take long for the AFL to crack down when we start to use it.

Maybe I'm biased here, but IMO what Dylan is now doing and so many others have been doing for some time now is shrugging the tackle rather than driving the head. I think this will continue to be adjudicated the same as it is now??
My feeling is that this is in response to the Lindsay Thomas manouvre of actually headbutting the tackler.

Grimes definitely leans in with the head from the side which they are also clamping down on.

Is quick and goes the punch. That's about it at this stage. Hope he gains the confidence to take a few marks and springboard a few attacks.

Exactly. Coming from Boston, little wonder you are making sense. Greatest sports city on the face of the earth.

Great closing speed. Can spoil. Not much else after that.
