Lost his interceptions, no offensive dash and reckon not willing to go back into hole every time

Our ticket to a first rounder. A contender would give a 1st round pick for him.
Would be lucky to get a 3rd rounder the way he is playing this year. It's painful to watch as he has been such a star. Hopefully a return to form is close.

He’s part of a very wobbly backline right now. Sometimes it looks ok…other times not. Used to be it was 100% rock solid.

Think Broad is a big gap down there. Seems to provide stability to others’ roles.

The biggest example of the drop off in form in our defensive half. Has gone from a reliable intercept marker and good kick to a liability back there. A shadow of his former self.

His form is awful by his previous standards but who replaces him? The cupboard is bare heading into next week.
The old days of saying We have Grimes & BigV playing we would be rock solid. Are over.
I'm sorry to say, but both are close to the end. Grimes either double handles every ball or his positioning is awful.
BigV can bring down a team with the way he is playing. Ive never ever seen him play for free kicks, ive never ever seen him double fist a high ball 30m out from goal, ive never seen him over powered by the opposition.
its sad oldie but the form of bigV, Grimes, Balta, Martin, Prestia and Cotchin are currently in, is why we stink.
We look sooo tired and it's only round 5. It's going to get heaps worse.

thought he showed glimpses of returning to form in the 3rd quarter

his form drop off is a major factor in our poor forward entries
