Toast Mitch Grigg - Fare Thee Well, We Hardly Knew Ye

[Dewy006]

So instead of going to my bedroom and curling up in the foetal position, lets look at the positives.

How good was this kid, was, dare i say it, Pendlesesque at times on that left, looked like he had all the time in the world and constantly made the right decision, put most of our senior guys to shame. How he hasn't gotten a game earlier is beyond me, if he's sub against the Roos next week Ill come over from Perth and burn West Lakes down my self

Lots to look forward to in the future with him and Crouchy, not to mention Danger, Sloaney etc...

Was absolutely superb today.

Thompson needs to be dropped now. Grigg needs to be fast tracked and Thompson is giving us nothing.

 

[creme_fraiche]

Grigg was stellar. It's shambolic that he hasn't got a run before today. If he's not in the starting lineup next week then something is very, very wrong.

Lots to like today about the youth of our club tbh.

 

[spexau]

He's a beauty and has real confidence about him. Tim Watson was in disbelief at how good he was going. Needs to play full games for the rest of the year and be a main midfield contributor for us next season.

 

[Crowked]

Gun. He and Crouch should never be left out again.

 

[Hank93]

One of the best games by a sub in history.

Surely that performance was enough to see him play the last 4 games in the starting 21.

 

[mcday]

That first handball was a bit shaky, might need some SANFL games to iron that out Hopefully we've found a long term contributor. That left foot is a weapon

 

[Golumless]

Great goal, some thread the needle kicks and a great impact. He has to start for Thompson from here on in. He might get 40 possessions next week at this rate

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

2013 as been disappointing

However Crouch, Grigg, Brown and Laird gives me great hope for 2014

Crouch and Grigg were superb today

 

[TARANTULA]

Bruce was almost having Rioli-esque orgasms when calling Grigg. Best qtr of footy I have seen from a kid ever.

 

[spexau]

I suppose that's why he was touted as a high first rounder in his draft year? Didn't look slow at all either.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

He must be so tired after that..drop him

 

[scoota10]

Why have the selectors waited so long to introduce him to the game ???

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Gun. You guys have a good one there.

 

[BUTTON 92]

Gun.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Should have started today ridiculous he didnt

I agree, but no love for LJ?

It was refreshing to see to have a natural left footer in the field today. Gave us that extra dimension whenever one of our players was caught on their wrong side, Grigg was always in the right place to gather the ball from those players and use his kicking to do the damage. Have to play out the season along with LJ

Specccccialllllll

I'm happy for anyone to search my posts banging on about our lack of left footers.

I saw enough of him in the pre-season game against Carlton that I wouldve had him in round 1. Purely for his left foot, but also because I knew he could at least hold his own. In fact I had him in the rd 1 side during the warm up when I saw he slot them half post high from 55m.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Should have started today ridiculous he didnt

Hopefully he didn't perform so well that they consider him the sub for next week in the sense that he's made the position his own - as silly as that may sound.

 

[MRB37]

Has to play every game from here on out. Just has to. Looked like he'd played 100 games out there today. So calm and poised when he had it. Didn't do a thing wrong all game.

 

[ftmch]

His leg is elite, but I really love his composure and decision making. Not overawed at all. Good on him.

 

[RunBurgundy]

He was so good, never panicked under pressure and in a showdown with the extra spice was super cool. Reason to be excited crows fans

 

[JP Sauce]

Why have the selectors waited so long to introduce him to the game ???

"But the reason he played so well is that the selectors didn't get carried away with new toyitis and gift him games but instead made him work on his deficiencies at Norwood first."
