Yep. While i would probably rate Grimes slightly above Prestia it is a good analogy.Absolutely.
As pure players there is no comparison, it's Dustin Martin v Dion Prestia.
Peak Rance was in the discussion of best defender of all time. Absolute top-shelf, top 1% of players to have played the game in his position. Dustin Martin.
Grimes is hugely talented, consistent, dependable and reliable. He is a great, great player. Right on the next level down from the very best of the best. Dion Prestia.
Rance is a league wide all time great. His shortened career probably costs hima spot in the AFL/VFL team of all time, but he is is close.
Grimes is a star but a couple of levels below Rance.
