Grigg
biggest strength...honestly cant think of any
biggest weakness.....goes missing

for Lids I would also add kicking as a huge strength
look im no fan of the ex blue but bloody hell griggs run and spread is better than any one we have. its just a shame hes so limited in so many other areas.

Vlastuin is Geez reincarnation and is faultless

Honestly what do you think his faults would be??? Had to come up with many imo
do i go here . would it  be worth the hassles. all i will say hes had a very good yr for a first yr player and his strengths out weigh the few weaknesses he does have.
as a footballer he doesnt really have a weakness as an athlete theres a couple.

 weaknesses.
pace real low top end speed imo  and tank are the only real concerns i have. hes not an athletic player.  as a junior i thought he bombed it a bit as well so there was an issue with the way he used it rather than his kicking itself.

strengths
strengths well there are a lot. goes hard, has presence anywhere he plays on the ground, finds plenty of ball hes good in traffic, judges the ball really well in the air hes a leader has a decent kick not elite but its good enough. is one touch on the ground and hes a great size.  great consistency week in week out.
these were a few abbreviated notes   on him in 2012.
i thought him a worthy  pick 12.

Good write up claw.  :cheers

I don't think he bombs the ball any longer. I think he has been coached with the team ethos of looking for a unmanned target. His 30m passes are beautiful. I heard the slight on him pre-draft was his pace but I haven't seen evidence of this either. Perhaps this is because of the role he is playing I don't know. With his strengths I hope that his size continues to remain an asset and he doesn't get too big too early. I think his biggest strength is his attitude.

sheesh the list of quality players who lacked pace is endless.

yet on the other hand nahas and white had pace..............
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?
