Have to wait and see if they turn out any good yet

Of course, but he is going to be around for a while imo. Milestone either way.

Has to be a reason but he couldn’t have done more this year but again we don’t know how he interviewed, etc
Grig is a Dean, Towers type. Makes similar mistakes, is a worse kick than Deano, can mark but also give away easy frees. He was not on our radar, or anybody else's radar, because he has run out of AFL game tokens. Just not good enough anymore. Really never had much skill but was a trier. Grigg was only retained while Tigers went with only one Ruck. The new rules will kill that one off so his usefulness was zero to nothing. We don't need another player with P ess talent than Deano.

You getting Mitch and Shaun Grigg mixed up? Shaun was with the Tigers, pretty sure Mitch was at Adelaide. There are limitations in Mitch's game though

Not sure what news you’re referring to. If you’re talking about Tippo back as a rookie but not playing the source is the club itself.
You got a link Ticky?

Wrong Grigg
 
Sydney Stack could get an opportunity with Richmond
Got to take your hat off to Richmond, they've done a lot right in the last couple of years after three decades of mediocrity. Getting Stack to come over and live at Hardwick's house then use the new extra draft period to cleverly get a highly rated but troubled player is very clever.

Smartest part about it is there's zero risk involved. Should they not turn his attitude around during the training period they simply don't pick him up. If they see he is trying hard they've got a very good pick up

What’s the story with Stack and how do you know he’s living with Dimma ?

He has a crack with passion, although you seem very similar. Very happy with what we’ve done in the draft .

I'm also very happy with the draft. Clever and resourceful. The recruiting guys earned their pay. They knew exaclty what and who they wanted to get and they found ways to make it happen. We're lucky to support such a successful club (these days).
