If you got a death threat from a Collingwood fan, you might be concerned they'd stab you with a hepatitis-soaked syringe. A Carlton fan might have associates in the market gardening world you'd prefer to steer clear of. An Essendon fan might get his Melbourne supporter friend to sue you.

Typical drug cheat Sunday morning.

Debating sending death threats to Caro. Ward. Or Grimes.

World is truly their oyster

Grimes claims death threats yet can’t produce evidence of a single one despite his best efforts.

Nobody should believe that dishonest piece of 💩
I'm sure he could, cumguzzler. Kids follow him on social media and unlike so many of your cry baby Veruca Salt fanbase, he's a responsible adult.

Likely doesn't want to give these trolls the notoriety and airtime they're seeking.
At least this Bombers flog was man enough to deliver his death threats in person:

When the long line of drug cheat death threats. It wouldn't be out of character would it?
Still haven’t seen one.

Just dishonest players making claims to deflect from their pathetic flops.

Nobody should take anything Grimes says at face value. He has proven over many years that he has 0 integrity and no respect for himself or the game.

Yeah mate I'm sure Grimes was making it up. The drug cheats would never give death threats to Grimes. Or ward. Or Caro. Or wada officials.

Oh wait; Richmond can confirm that Victoria Police have arrested and charged a man with several serious offences, following extreme threats that compromised the safety of Dylan Grimes and his family, after last weekend's game against Essendon.

The Club commends Grimes for calling out this type of abuse and will continue to support both himself and his family.

Richmond continues to stand with its players, and the broader community, on the issue of online abuse – it has no place in our game, or our society.

“Firstly I want to thank Victoria Police for their assistance with this matter, and for promptly protecting the physical safety of my family while I am away," Grimes said.

“The severity and pointed nature of these threats went way beyond what I would call normal post-game banter with this individual, so much so that we were concerned for the safety of my family back home in Victoria."

"Honestly, I am disappointed that this has escalated to this extent, I'd really like to move on from it and get back to focusing on footy, but at the same time I also encourage people to continue to call out this kind behaviour. It's not right for anyone, including players and their families, to have their safety threatened.”

Richmond CEO, Brendon Gale said Grimes’ willingness to call this behaviour out was an important reminder for everyone.

“No one should have to tolerate this, and as an AFL industry, we need to continue to unite, educate, call-out and stamp out this ugly, abusive behaviour,” Gale said.

“Dylan has taken an important stand on an issue that is simply unacceptable.”

As this matter is now before the courts, Grimes and the Club will not be making further comment at this time
