Dylan Grimes JDM

Thought he played brilliantly, closing speed was exceptional. Didn't see him loose to many contests and looked composed. Well done young man, we'll have as much of that as you can give us.
 
Has a fantastic defensive skill set, just hope the body holds together, one of those rare stoppers who can nullify any type. I like the thought of havin Grimes, Astbury and Rance all fit an down back together, glad we are also given Elton a run at CHB in the magoos, lots of hope an fingers crossed but could be starting to build a good back half, must find some defensive class an speed thou

Did you watch yesterday? He was quick.

I did and was surprised at how quick he actually is. Those hammies must be finely tuned. Can't wait to see how superb he'll be at 100 games.
 
Think some of you are getting mixed up with his brudder at the Dees. Tigers position at the moment is due to players like Nylon who are abundant in game day list. Our backline has has more holes in than a sieve & Nylon is a major part of it according to Dimma. Nylon is averaging nine touches a game & hate to think what his opponents are averaging.
 
There is no doubt if he gets an injury free run he will be a dominant back for us. His spoiling is second to none in the comp.

Why think? If you want the facts all the stats are freely available. Oh wait? Did you not want the truth to get in the way of your good story?
 
Nylon rhymes with Dylan. Grimes aint tuff so Nylon is the obvious handle on him until he becomes Tiger tough. Thingo with me about Nylon is that he has always played down back where all he can do is spoil. Compare him to Langdon first year player at Maggots. Sorry to say Nylon is just not in the same class as Langdon.
 
I was wondering what accent it took to get Dylan and nylon to rhyme. Also nylon can pretty tough.

You obviously didn't do well at poetry at school I am guessing.

Same applies for your understanding of chemistry, nylon is a relatively strong material. You could however say he melts when the heat comes on if you wanted to try and make sense of the sobriquet of nylon. Personally I think it is pretty weak. As are comparisons against Langdon, they are different types of players.

Maybe when he first started, he was told by the coaches to spoil at every opportunity he got, but when he got some confidence he began to mark the ball and does it quite well. He's even started to drift up the ground a bit now.
 
Must be missing something. Always thought Grimes to be a hard at it player so cant understand him being tagged as not tough.
 
Only thing Nylon & Langdon have in commom is that they play down back. Stats tell the rest. Langdon's stat is 71.87 with a high score 128 & 2014 player ranking is 187.

Nylon's stat is 42 with a high score of 72 & a 2014 player ranking of 405.

To achieve that Nylon must be strictly adhering to Dimma's game day plan for him.
