While a lot was spoken about our chances without Rance by the footy media earlier in the year,
I can remember having a conversation with my son near the end of last year , and we thought Dylan was now the equal of Rance , in some areas you could argue had gone past him ,
I think this was something only richmond people were aware of , the wider footy community had no idea ,
they are becoming aware how good he is now.

Yep Grimes was with him whenever he was the deepest forward or within 20-30m of goal. When he roamed as he wasn't getting the ball on grimes, we let him go and trusted our system. Worked a treat, either nullify him near to goal or make him play up the ground.
Finally even the commentators have finally realised and now stating the fact that Dylan is the best defender in the league by a wide margin.
Correct. It'll be umpiring cause du jour of the week. That means they'll be blowing their whistle if Grimey is within 2m of him.
And yet no free kicks were paid, even though there is an umpire stationed there in the back half for that reason.
i was at the game and have watched the replay twice, i've noticed cameron holding Grimes but not the other way around.
He was beaten fair and square and within the rules.
100% He will get a great run from the umpires in the final. Lots of sooking around today about Grimes holding him all the time.
Be prepared to throw a stubbie or two at the TV.
They showed three incidents on On The Couch. One where Grimes shephered Cameron from the contest while Grimes was on his knees. One that was borderline as Cameron skirted the pack at a bounce. Another where they looked to be holding each other a fair way off the ball (similar to when Grimes over-ran the ball allowing Cameron into an open goal).
Yeah, I expect Grimes will be put under the microsocope.
Funny how none of the programs showed the very illegal block by Zorko on Lynch. Or the ridiculous free kick against him late in the 2nd quarter when Harris ran into him and went down quicker than a $2 hooker.
Yes very strange indeed.........

How good is this fella?
Nearly snaps his leg off the week before, then quells the form forward of the AFL the next week.
Freaking superstar is what he is.

He is great. I saw the goal Cameron kicked where Grimes missed the ball and Cameron went around him to an open goal. Grimes had to go for that ball, no choice at all. Ball took the usual Aussie Rules bounce, ie: completely unpredictable, and Grimes unfortunately missed it and left it open for Cameron. Was the right play, just didn't come off. If he didn't go for the ball he was stuffed so was the right call but won't always work. These things happen and one of the strengths of our players is the way that they don't get perturbed when this happens, they know everything won't go your way and they get back to it.
Love his work.

Love his work.

I saw the footage on OTC. Looked like good defensive play to me. Maybe one of them was a hold but most were superior use of body and strength
