Shaun Grigg [merged]

Unfortuantely there's no one to replace him. Well there is, but they should be replacing others before Grigg

unfortunately there is some truth in that. it sort of says it all about our midfield depth we just have to keep on building it. thats why it concerns one when you hear em say the midfield is complete.

[Coach]

we play him on a wing and i have a few issues with this.
1/ his foot skills are not good enough.
2/ hes a down hill skier and only runs one way hard.
3/ his pace well hes not slow but hes no line breaker imo.

while hes been a valuable pick up and his run and spread in 2012 was excellent hes always been one i thought we should in time be looking to upgrade on.
dont think we should cut him but atm i would hope we are looking to have someone push him out of the 22.

Agree with all of that

Seagull isn't one of my favourites.

Grigg strives to stay steady

“I just want to be a consistent performer again, both inside and outside, just wherever the coach sees fit,” Grigg said.

The 25-year-old veteran of 109 league games, has predominantly been used on a wing (and to good effect) during his time so far at Tigerland, but he could find himself in a different role at stages throughout 2014.

“Maybe I could give the boys a chop-out as a half-forward, and try and kick some ‘snags’ (goals),” he said.

Grigg had minor shoulder surgery at the end of the 2013 season, but that hasn’t prevented him from putting in another solid pre-season.

is anyone here concerned about contested ball at all.

deledio,martin, ellis, conca, knights grigg and houli would all be best 22 atm yet none of them get enough contested ball.
even blokes like foley are not getting enough contested ball.
its gotta be a worry when such a limited player and undersized player like s edwards is about the best c/p player we have. geez even jackson had 60% of his possesions as uncontestyed.  its a worry that these blokes are kicking the ball so much.
we lost our best c/p player in tuck as well. we are ranked behind all other top 8 sides in this area and only really in front of ess and nm who were rated last yr in this area and even then its a close run thing.
it means  we must have blokes like vlastuin miles foley play more  inside roles. we desperately need deledio, conca and  ellis and martin to start winning more ball.

we have so many outside players im not sure there is a real need for grigg. trouble is we dont seem to have players who run run run to replace him.
team sure could do with a 188 - 190cm big bodied hunter of the ball and man.

Probably why they targeted Miles and Thomas. Both may get an elevation from rookie status.  Both are footy extractors.  Already I'm loving the look of Miles!

[Mr Magic]

Was out on his feet in the last half. #gutrunning
Absolutely nothing left in the tank.

[WilliamPowell]

I got excited in the 2nd qtr when he actually laid a tackle

Was better than the GC game but ..... still the same old same old, floats in floats out

Yep the running was better but a few times in the 3rd he yet again refused to chase and stood back when he needed to go in and help a team mate

Terrific, just terrific TM

[dwaino]

Probably the only player to have ever walked the length of the MCG with the ball in hand 

[Judge Roughneck]

No one to replace him?

McBean (a smaller forward goes to the wing to accommodate)
Mcintosh ( as above with a defender)

Lennon. Donuts. Ohanlon. Arnot. Miles. Bachelor. Helbig. Dea. Gordon. Llyod. Bannfield. Knights. Aaron Edwards...

DimmaHardwick selection policy bollocks getting tiresome

[Judge Roughneck]

Linsanity > grigg

[mat073]

Is he playing today ?

[Muscles]

Is he playing today ?

Dimma will tell us later in the week about the fantastic effort he put in, sacrificing his game for a run with role on ..... ??? ..... the boundary umpire?

[TigerLand]

Absolute wacko
