Agreed, Goodwin had a lot of good qualities as a footballer, but whilst his kicking was no doubt good, it was nothing special. Griggs kicking is special.

I'm telling you he is our version of Collingwood's Pendlebury. You wait and see.
Exciting times ahead. Get on board in 2014!

Dosnt have the reach of Pendlebury in stoppages and marking, but he does have that uncanny ability to create time and space in a situation where most players would get decked with the slightest hesitation. Like Pendlebury has done for a while now, just frustrates the shit out of the opposition supporters as they all cry 'JUST TACKLE HIM', and they cant work out why their players cant.

Will he still be eligible for Rising Star next year?
Yep, played less than 10 games this year and will be younger than 21 at the start of the year.

Great, another winner possibly.
I think we are getting carried away with ourselfs by saying he is going to be as good as Pendels. If he can give us a similar performance as Goody I would be more than happy. And he is going to be closer to Goody than Pendels
I see him more as our Sidebottom, but a left foot version, just seems to have the same strengths and weaknesses, I do love the Pendlebury comparisons, but I've always seen more of Sidebottom in the way he plays.
When you consider Dangerfield and Crouch will be copping the tags for some time to come, Grigg is gonna cause a lot of hurt to many an opposition
Not to mention Sloane and Smith.

A bigger deal out west.

It is the makings of a very dominant midfield if everyone comes on like they are expected to.

I'll be backing him for it as soon as the market opens

Moves a bit like a young Dal Santo there.

Possibly. Think of Rich to your Redden or Rockliff. Hill to your Fyfe and Mundy. Given Grigg's kicking skills and decision making, he could quite feasibly become the player that the opposition looks to shut down if he starts getting more of the ball.When you consider Dangerfield and Crouch will be copping the tags for some time to come, Grigg is gonna cause a lot of hurt to many an opposition
On the plus side dangerfield without a hard tag, yes please.

Might be the case of a double hard tag. No way any teams are not going to tag Dangerfield, but yeah. jeeze i hope they all become stars.
Must admit my first impressions were of one D Jarmin but thought it may have been a little hopeful, but holy crap the kid has that special something that very few players actually have. Imagine us having a midfielder who can deliver to a forward with precision! It's been a long time coming.

he just has so much time when he has the ball, it's beautiful to watch.
Haha.. Danger's deadlift was posted on AFCs YouTube and all 3 of Grigg's goals can be seen in the WCE vs ADE Highlights that the AFL put together

Just has time and vision and the skills to pull them off. Just another bright spot at the end of a shizen season. Hope he works even harder over the PS as a round 1 possie is his for the taking.
