Dylan Grimes JDM

A couple of characters on here would fit in there seamlessly. Fortunately, they are a vast minority.
 
SHocking is fining him to cover up for another umpiring f up. No reversal and it never gets mentioned by anyone again.

I don’t get it. If Dylan didn’t get a shove then that was an easy spoil.

Exactly, I just watched it 6 times and he definitely gets a push. It might not be much but to say he staged it 100% is laughable. He looks to lose his balance as he realizes the ball is falling shorter than expected & does what most people do when that happens - looked bloody clumsy.

To say it was a 100% dive is a joke. Why would he have chosen to do that when he would have otherwise be able to compete in the contest, unless he lost his balance and couldn't stop his own forward motion? If it wasnt a push, it was him misjudging the play, losing his balance as he tried to change his point of contact & stumbling forward. Otherwise he was 100% going to be involved in that marking contest.

He never even pleaded for a bloody free kick.

I find it reprehensible that he has received death threats for this & the AFL are fining him & basically saying - yeah he is guilty of cheating. Certainly not conclusive. Way to encourage the online troll abuse, threats and continued bullying AFL.

I *smile* hope our boys can draw on this very obvious attempt to discredit our club and just come out and *smile* win this flag anyway. I really haven;'t been overly interested or invested in us winning it as i thought several other teams looked better. But *smile* i want them to get it together now and just smash their opponents to a point where its impossible even for the AFL to cheat them out of it. Seriously, what have we done to make ourselves this despised to the AFL? Have i missed something??

We are getting the Grant Thomas treatment, bigtime

Zorko does what grimee did 3 times a game.
Shuey, has been Selwood ducking since his first game and he did it again yesterday, nothing was mentioned.
Has anyone got the balls to call out McCrea from Footscary?
Dangerfield dives constantly, but he is a star. Sorrry...
Hawkins has been fined more times then lynch, why hasn't he got the tribunal golden ticket?

This is all to tear us apart and stop us from going back to back.

I think essendon supporters (and all supporters) should be subject to restorative justice.

Identify the essedrugs moron who threatened grimey,

And make him stand under a highball, waiting for grimesy to spoil.

And move on without further sanction

Imagine the ratings if they telecast 'restorative night'

'And tonight on resto, we have Dylan Grimes, charlie Dixon, big tom lynch and charlie cameron working to make things right with Narelle, Jayden, Jet and Blade'

The Age is reporting that a 39 year old man has been arrested in relation to making death threats against Grimes and his family. This is so sad someone could act like this.

Jesus christ.

Full article:

Victoria Police have arrested a Frankston man for allegedly making vile threats on social media towards Richmond premiership defender Dylan Grimes.

The arrest was made on Monday after the alleged abuse towards Grimes – who is with the Tigers in a hub in Queensland – escalated to the point where he made a complaint to the police as he was concerned about the wellbeing of his family.

Grimes made it clear on Sunday he had become the target of vicious social media abuse after the Dreamtime in Darwin match, when he was paid a free kick after Essendon forward Jake Stringer pushed him in the back, resulting in an Essendon goal being overturned.

A concerned Grimes contacted Victoria Police when he received threats that had him concerned about the safety of family. Richmond supported his action.

In a statement police said they arrested a 39-year-old who was bailed to appear in the Magistrates Court on May 4, 2021.

"Police executed a warrant at a Frankston address on Monday 24 August as part of an investigation into alleged online harassment," the statement said.

"Detectives arrested a 39-year-old man and charged him with stalking, using telecommunications device to menace, making threat to commit sexual offence and other charges.

"He was bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates' Court on 4 May 2021."

Grimes said he was disappointed that the incident during the game had escalated to the point that this was necessary and said he was relieved Victoria Police was able to help protect his family.

"The severity and pointed nature of these threats went way beyond what I would call normal post-game banter with this individual, so much so that we were concerned for the safety of my family back home in Victoria," Grimes said.

"Honestly, I am disappointed that this has escalated to this extent. I'd really like to move on from it and get back to focusing on footy, but at the same time I also encourage people to continue to call out this kind behaviour. It's not right for anyone, including players and their families, to have their safety threatened."

Tigers CEO Brendon Gale said the club backed Grimes in calling out the behaviour.

"No one should have to tolerate this, and as an AFL industry, we need to continue to unite, educate, call out and stamp out this ugly, abusive behaviour," Gale said.

"Dylan has taken an important stand on an issue that is simply unacceptable."

The AFL's MRO charged Grimes with staging, however he is appealing that decision.

Good.

When the peanut gets the full media glare on his day in court it might make others think twice before shooting their online mouth off.

Club statement.

Richmond can confirm that Victoria Police have arrested and charged a man with several serious offences, following extreme threats that compromised the safety of Dylan Grimes and his family, after last weekend's game against Essendon.

The Club commends Grimes for calling out this type of abuse and will continue to support both himself and his family.

Richmond continues to stand with its players, and the broader community, on the issue of online abuse – it has no place in our game, or our society.

“Firstly I want to thank Victoria Police for their assistance with this matter, and for promptly protecting the physical safety of my family while I am away," Grimes said.

“The severity and pointed nature of these threats went way beyond what I would call normal post-game banter with this individual, so much so that we were concerned for the safety of my family back home in Victoria."

"Honestly, I am disappointed that this has escalated to this extent, I'd really like to move on from it and get back to focusing on footy, but at the same time I also encourage people to continue to call out this kind behaviour. It's not right for anyone, including players and their families, to have their safety threatened.”

Richmond CEO, Brendon Gale said Grimes’ willingness to call this behaviour out was an important reminder for everyone.

“No one should have to tolerate this, and as an AFL industry, we need to continue to unite, educate, call-out and stamp out this ugly, abusive behaviour,” Gale said.

“Dylan has taken an important stand on an issue that is simply unacceptable.”

As this matter is now before the courts, Grimes and the Club will not be making further comment at this time.

Spot on. Online banter is one thing. Direct threats to players and their families is a criminal matter that is not acceptable in any way shape or form

One line that sticks out in that article from The Age.

"Making threat to commit sexual offence and other charges."

Christ, what were they saying about his partner.

When are people going to learn you don't take on Dylan Grimes? He shuts you down and packs you away. Glad he followed up on the Troll.

Did you see him wrestling with the player (last week?) who thought he got the better of DG who proceeded to hold him down (pack him away) until the other bloke conceded and played possum.

It's obvious, ya just don't mess with Dylan.
