That skinny kid called Grant on a half forward

[boydsno1]

Was good. Will force hill to be dropped again.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I'm pleased with his progress, was starting to think we had another Walsh on our list at one stage, so for him to be playing consistent games is a confidence boost.

 

[P-MONEY]

I'll be first to eat my word... He gives his all which is what is required in his stage of development. Hopefully he puts on a bit more size and continues his running ability..
With a few more games he will only improve and confidence will emerge..

 

[Lightning_Mcqueen95]

I think most people are impressed because our expectations are so low of what he would bring. Needs a lot of work in many area's however he is now looking more like a 150 game player than he was a month ago.

 

[The Big Woofer]

A bit more work in the gymnasium and a few packets of krispy kremes and I believe he would be perfectly suited to CHB. His kicking then is not quite as big an issue.
This releases Biscuits to play as a 2nd ruckman for around the ground work or as a pinch hitting forward. I like the idea of both Biscuits and Grant being able to play both ends.
Versatility is a key here, when Riewoldt started at St Kilda he missed most of his first season but when he was finally brought in he was put at CHB and did well. That said they had Loewe playing for them who could play CHF, but we have Hall at least for one more season. Neitz also won AA selection playing as a CHB before becoming a good forward.

I think you might be on to something there, he has decent hands & reads the play ok so CHB may end up being his spot when his body is ready.

At full strength i couldn't see a role for him this year at the business end of the season but these games will help him improve.

 

[Zeno The Great]

I also thought we had a Walsh on our hands but after the last 3 games i am a huge wrap for this kid. He has a long way to go, but he has great hands and geez he gives his all. If he can put on some bulk he will be a very good player.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Improving nicely.

 

[Gus]

It was his tackle and pressure that allowed the ball to spill for Griff's match winner.

Jarrad (Grant) is going well for an under 10 gamer as is Andrejs (Everitt) and Josh (Hill) for under 50 gamers.

Harbrow (Jarryd) is going exeptionally well and most of us now judge him in comparison to players who are a lot older and played many more games than him.

Likewise the unfortunately injured

Ward (Callan) and Picken (Liam)

[Gus]

Interesting stats, Captain.

I'd like to see them after a couple more games, when Grant has played the same amount as Henderson. It's looking good

 

[Testekill]

That's an interesting side by side. Grant is pulling pretty strong numbers for a five game forward.

It's more interesting when you compare Grant's numbers to this weeks Rising Star nominee Jake Melksham.

See here : Jarrad Grant vs Jake Melksham

One would think that Grant's nomination isn't too far away.

If he has a good match in the coming weeks then he'll probably net a nomination. The award is probably in the bag for Scully this year but Grant could actually rate fairly highly for having a solid, consistent year so far.

 

[charcoalchicken]

I really love his chasing and tackling it helps the team out a lot, he has a great pair of hands and has a decent kick on him if he keeps up the hard work he'll become a gun.

At the moment Grant>Hill if I could only have one in the team.

 

[Tutt54]

The problem we have is that Grant plays a Murphy like hit up roll-over the next 5 weeks whilst Murphy is out he could stamp himself on this year.

His vertical leap is amazing sticky hands and a player that needs to be given confidence.

I have seen Jones play 4 times this year and believe he is our Jewell in the crown-hes a footballer first then an athlete interesting to see how we handle him.

And if looking at rising star Maribino from Fremantle is paying $34 and I have heard one of the judges say he is a champion.......??? look at his statsPlayer Statistics Comparison

Tutt easy to just do a screen shot, crop it then up load that to tinypic.

As for Jones i agree he is the Jewell and more a stay at home type. We have a lot of young tall talent around.

 

[yebiga]

Amazing, now it seems we are short of fast crumbers.

Although, Grant's pace is tremendous for his hieght. The kid just needs to snag a couple of contested marks and his confidence will soar. Then, I believe he will feature in the finals this year.

 

[stefoid]

When is the last crumbing genuine goal sneak we had? I can remember Bamblett and Kolynuik...

 

[Tortilla]

The award is probably in the bag for Scully this year

I think a bloke from WA may be challenge him

Didn't Natanui get a nomination last year?


EDIT: Oh right, Barlow. Isn't 22 too old?

 

[bulldogsman]

EDIT: Oh right, Barlow. Isn't 22 too old?

Barlow is too old. Natanui is eligible and would be my pick. Scully didn't have a great start and looked a little out of his depth in a couple games.

 

[Astro_]

Grant kicks the ball like Mr Ed, but seems to be coming along now.

 

[Werewolf]

Just put Grant in my SC team. Knowing my luck, he'll probably have a shocker this week

 

[Gus]

Getting better each week.
