Dylan Grimes JDM

I am a massive fan but it must be said his early season comeback wasn't at the level of last year. He has missed a lot of football in the last 18 months but when fit he is back in the side. Needs match fitness at Coburg clearly.
In saying that I think Petterd will still have a spot when he returns. Batchelor has been forced out.

I rate him highly but this regularity of injuries is a worry,
My expectations are low as I fear he will break down again...what ever we can get out of him is a bonus imo.

Current back six well settled. Have the club 3rd for lowest points against and did the job on Freo last week who are one of the two clubs ahead of us. Swannies this week.
There is a reason for that well known saying....."if it ain't broke, don't fix it". No need to rush Dylan back. Get him ready for 2014 with a full pre-season as opposed to risking another injury and have him spend much of it in rehab, which will put him behind the 8-ball all of next season too.

I am sure all the conditioning and fitness staff are taking a very planned and careful approach to Grimes' return to football.
It would be great to have him cherry ripe for the finals, but I no longer hold expectations about his reliability.
I like the way the club seems to be treating his situation as a "bonus" rather than an imperative.

Thanks for that ToO - good spotting
I just had a look at it
It is pleasing that he said there's no question of him playing anywhere else; he loves Richmond; he's going to play the rest of his career here; he loves being a leader and Richmond have given him more than he could ever hope for from an AFL club
Grimes plays a half with Coburg reserves on Sunday, and a full game with Coburg's seniors the following week and back for the Tigers against the Brisbane Lions in round 20.

Was reminded again how good he is after watching that last quarter against Sydney from last year that's up on the website. His pace, agility as well as reading of the play is all elite. If he can't stay on the park and get back to his best it would be a tradgedy.
