Too bad, was looking forward to him coming back into the side come finals to add some experience and run. A very good accumulator of possessions with questionable disposal by foot but obviously a great club man.  Good luck Shaun and let's hope your sons are absolute superstars.

Just a great clubman. A premiership player and premiership ruckman!

Thank you Grigga!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

He is a Tigers premiership player who helped end the misery and made me feel like a kid again for a glorious moment so he is awesome.  All the best Grigga!

Please don't take away from Grigga's retirement with this.

We traded him in for Andrew Collins from memory so a massive win for us. Premiership ruckman with a great tank. His kicking was hearts in mouth stuff but he was instrumental in getting us off the bottom of the ladder. All the best to Grigg

Grigga, one of those wonderful players that you see week in week out and just expect to keep on seeing and enjoying to watch.
Good luck Grigga and thanks for the memories on a great career.
Cheers big fella  :clapping :cheers
The third quarter, the premiership quarter, it's Dusty time. He starts to shine and then delivers in the most AWESOME fashion.

Not one of my favourite players to watch but there is no doubting that he was really well liked by his teammates which generally means he is a good fella.

By the way Jack was talking tonight on AFL360, Grigg will have plenty of offers from footy clubs for coaching rolls if he decides to go down that path.
Jack said he was the smartest player he had ever played with and I have heard similar from Chris Newman in the past.
That is just about the best thing any teammate could say about you if you are looking to stay in footy when your time is up as a player.

Will he potentially become an AFL coach one day??

Good luck to him on whatever he does and he will always been known as a Tigers Premiership player.
