It certainly wasn’t Dylan Grimes’ fault that Richmond suffered a disappointing Round 16 loss to Gold Coast.

Grimes was entitled to leave Marvel Stadium last Thursday night with his head held high.

The triple premiership Tiger star defender typically did everything in his power to try and stem the Suns’ surge right throughout the match.

With 15 disposals, five marks, and an extremely impressive, game-high 11 intercepts, he clearly was one of Richmond’s scarce winners on the night.

Grimes is averaging 12.7 disposals, 5.3 marks, 8.0 intercepts and 5.4 one-percenters per game this season.

He is ranked sixth in the competition for total intercepts.
