The whips were cracking even more than normal in the Tiger back line this year due to missing stars, which meant the ascension of Dylan Grimes to the best defender of smalls in the land came just in time to hold their defence together for another flag. Grimes' duels with Charlie Cameron were possibly the defining moments of the seasons of both their clubs, as the Tiger came out on top despite lacking help around him. Like Nick Smith before him, Grimes' role is far more focused on the man than the ball.

Grimes the grease monkey
For the past five seasons, Dylan Grimes has taken the most dangerous medium or small forward at the Tigers, with a disposal average that hasn't threatened the 15 mark since 2012. Grimes' value to the team is in sitting on an opponent, not creating the other way. His only fantasy relevance is in watching out for players you own whose scoring he might limit.

Season eight brought the first full slate of senior games for Dylan Grimes, with his customary lack of attention towards the football. Grimes is the opposite of a fantasy player, kind of an antimatter player. He doesn't matter if you're interested in basic statistics.
