Poor game by Lennon. Mind you, the Adelaide backline is one of the very best in the AFL. Even Jack struggled to get into the game until late. The guy needs to be backed in by Hardwick in the next couple of games. He does have the talent. The example given by Jackstar of not listening to Caddy is an example of application not talent.

was at the ground and watched him closely....he actually worked hard defensively, probably more than he ever has, but just couldn't get his hands on it...was too deep, seem to play more as a fwd pocket (aka starvation corner) than half forward....got frustrated an unsure of hmsel when he realiseed he wasn't getting it enough and started to do the Tambling tapdance of uncertainty/witness waltz arund the edges of contests....main point is contrary to popular assumption he wasn't willfully bludging ....he also needs to ask for his money back from that sprint coach he hired...fast game on a fast ground did him no favours.....I'd like to see him put on ball when he's not getting it.....yes from an attacking point of view it just wasn't good enough but he should be persisted with.....blokes like BEllis, Hunt , Griffiths & Grigg should be dropped before he is...they've had more than enough chances...

Grigg played very well last night on the back of a great pre season

Wowee!
Grigg best on.

He gets heaps of it but he just bombs it forward. Most of his kicks hit his ankle not his actual foot.
pee him off. Play the quick skillful kids.

Agree, needs to be given a go (again)
