Reckon they all pretended Grub was just falling backward while marking n it's his own fault his bonce bounced off the deck.

I like the Beethoven line. Although very different assessments between personal musical taste and being critical of how professional medical people have operated I think.
Being confident that you are right is not the same as being right.
Opinions are all well and good, its why we love this forum, but the nagging urge to be right on a medical matter like this and spending the effort in trying to prove it seems tiresome.
It's a clear warning sign when you see the hands reach out in front like that.
Players are usually down in the month after a concussion, we shouldn't automatically expect him to be at 100% in 9 days against GWS.
And btw, after seeing this footage, it's clear Bruce caused his opponent's head to whiplash into the ground. I know marking contests hold a special status in the AFL's measures to reduce concussion, but this is a negating action without any justifying logic behind the exempt status that is reserved for the big marking contests with key forwards, which has been justified because it's been a major draw for the sport for decades. It's just not necessary to drag players down after they take a mark.

Richmond player the offendee. Open season. Fair game.
I'm surprised Grimes wasn't fined for staging.
there was a time not that long ago, where that was textbook 50m, every time.
the 15m penalty was brought in to stop this professional hinderance.
then they made it 50 to stamp it out.
now you can run back with no eyes on the ball and coat hanger a bloke who takes an easy mark,
but you cant scratch your arse standing on the mark.
*smile* me they've distorted the rules

Vlastuin back from injury is a great replacement but I'd prefer Grimesy out there tomorrow night.
I suppose Vlastuin assumes the role of Vlastuin, and broad becomes Grimes?
Broady in career best form, so he should be able to do Grimes with aplomb.
Dave gets Accident Elbows, Balta gets Cameron,
the rest dont really matter
Hope so Ezy. Easier to do Broad when Grimes is there though. Reckon Dyl consistently takes the best still.
Floss just needs to get through a game without mishap. But expect twin elbow and shove merchants, Hawkins and Cameron, will target him knowing Tigers' players are fair game with impunity where umpires are concerned.
Hmmm my concerns were valid.
He's the glue of our backline.
We were an absolute mess down back without Grimesy organising the group.

Going to be a very valuable inclusion this week with Toby Greene in such great form. He gets the job again, especially when he plays forward.
Backline is back to full strength with Grimes back. They'll need to be at their best with our weakened midfield!
Just watching the replay now, anyone notice Greene going for Grimo's eyes in that late 3rd quarter tackle?
