I am tapering my expectations.
Not quite as impressive last time back as before the hammies and now problems with his feet.
The lack of continuity is harmful to his development in an important period for him.
He can play, that's obvious to anyone who knows footy but needs to get games under his belt or else someone else will take his opportunity.

Grimes may have just been unlucky too. We've had concerns about long-term problems with Cotchin too, but they come good if managed well. I was actually heartened to hear he might be playing again in 2 weeks or so. A month at Coburg and we can make a call on whether there's a place for him in a finals team. Could be a great addition come the end of the year if we're still looking for an upgrade on Astbury/Batchelor types. Fingers crossed.
Why? He has 6 weeks to get match fit and play a couple of games if he is good enough. If he is ready play him.se7en said:
Easily in our best 22.

Yep. You can't treat him with kid gloves forever just because he's injury prone.
Give him a couple at Coburg and if he's right get him into the seniors. Far better option than Petterd in the heat of the final.
Dylan said all along he hopes to be back for the Brisbane game. Tracking on target.
Very good news RE: Grimes.
Extra pressure on players like Petterd and Batchelor now that Grimes may only be a couple to a few weeks from playing seniors.
Interesting to see that Petterd appears ahead of Batchelor now - thinking Batch might be trade material come the post-season and that we will keep Petterd on our list at seasons end.

He's back soon, Josey. Given that Astbury hasn't earned a call up yet (in the best for Coburg on the weekend) and we're playing a very small dynamic backline now it'll be interesting to see how Dimma shapes us over the next few weeks.
On the one hand every coach wants a settled back six. OTOH he wants his best back six. Interesting times.

Astbury is back so I guess it worked out ok for now, lids. Elton got some praise from Clark on the weekend. But not setting the world on fire.
Oh and just for a bit of versatility against Freo, Tyrone was not playing LMID. He was at CHB for a while there. Did well too. ;D
