Another great season from a player who couldn't get on the park for his first three years at the club. So happy for him!

I can work with that too. He is a ripper defender, exciting to watch and tougher than 99.9% of AFL players. Good time to be on the tiger journey.zippadeee said:I changed the channel the other night to foxfooty and the Richmond Essendon game was on, grimes comes off his man intercepts the ball 50/50 in front of TippaWoddy. With that play it ended up in a goal.
As good as Rance has been over the last 5 years. Grimes would have to be one of the best defenders to ever wear our jumper.
Bill James said:Watch the replay he was on him quite early in the first quarter.
tigerlove said:Yes he was and De Goey did very little. From memory Grimes halved an early contest. But Rance was moved onto De Goey quite early and was continually losing him. He was pantsed. Not sure why Grimes went off him but when he went back on him in the 3rd after all the damage was done De Goey again was hardly sighted.

Rance had a shocker that night. Everyone he went to smashed him. It was Rance of 2010.
In nearly all of our losses Rance was beaten. Even the dud Hooker destroyed him in the last QTR.
tigerlove said:DeGoey was beating Rance convincingly on the lead, he wasn't being beaten in a strength contest. He was simply too quick for him whereas Grimes seemed able to play tighter. Rance was pretty good once he was moved off him, I think you're over-exaggerating Rance's game overall.
But....... our midfield was being smashed. Rance is a part of our team which relies on defence across all lines. Bit harsh to single out Rancealot for being screwed when our whole team were being plugged. In more interesting matters though.zippadeee said:Not only did he beat him his pace, he also out marked him in the first qtr and then out bodied him in the goal square in the 2nd qtr. if Rance stayed on degoey, he would've kicked 10
Tiger Ghost said:Wont be winning any beauty contests for a while, not sure how it happened or who did it but Grimes had his nose busted in a big way at training
