AFL Player 11: Jade Gresham

[Beerfish]

Contract: Unrestricted Free Agent 2026
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 28, mcgrath_truther

 

[Old Campaigner]

I few weeks ago people were foaming at the mouth over Gresham being sub over Menzie

 

[naraku]

If it's true he wants out, see you later. No issue at all for me.

yeah you'd think gresham being 27 years old and a lot more experience than menzie, wouldn't go missing in a majority of games he plays. if he doesn't get dropped after his performance this week than brad scott really is a pussy

 

[Phone]

thankfully he's only got one more year so he's not really a big problem. if his contract was front-loaded, we might be lucky enough to get a pick for him, if we were to trade him. otherwise he can just peter out for the next 18 months.

 

[bennyg12]

Pay him out and f##k him off

 

[ant555]

Totally ineffective. Davey would only need a half decent game tomorrow.

Tell us more?

We'll have to see how the year plays out but he's looking like one that could be moved on this off season. Menzie is cheap depth that performs the same task and El Achkar looks likely to be a decent side kick for Kako in future. Davey most likely to come in and if he can hold a spot I think Gresham plays a lot of VFL. If its true he wants to play more midfield then he could actually be a decent hand in the VFL for the rest of the year. I think he'd then be free to a good home similar to Stringer if they take the wage. Still plenty of time this year to turn it around but its not a great start

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Brings nothing at the moment. Real inanimate carbon rod.

 

[MiguelM]

Should be dropped and if he is sooking even more reason. Been a poor recruit.

If Davey has a decent game he should come straight in for him.

Guelfi is almost ready and could be a better option too.

List clogger

 

[andleanback]

And he wants midfield minutes apparently
Thank god it’s only a 3 year deal

 

[naraku]

This was just in reference to Jade allegedly wanting more midfield time and wanting out if he doesn't get it.

I'm fine with him leaving, I was baffled we took him even though we lack small forwards.

Guelfi would offer a lot more.

Who in their right mind would offer him that. I understand fully why St.Kilda people I know laughed when we signed him. Absolute cabbage of a player 90% of the time

 

[crackers65]

Didn’t realise he played. I am not a Davey fan by any means but he couldn’t do any worse and he would add some speed.

 

[ant555]

Rated by champion data as the player who has had the biggest ranking rise for us so far this year.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Don’t think anyone else is banging on the door atm

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Rated by champion data as the player who has had the biggest ranking rise for us so far this year.

Yeah think there's a bit of recency bias as his last 2 games have been admittedly poor, but he has a good first month.

Similar to the perkins thread discussion, gresham plays a bit of a tough role to always have an impact.

 

[div12ressie]

hope that's the last we see of him, seems to panic so much with the ball in hand inside F50, slow decision maker and more often than not gets pinged for HTB

 

[carnthedons]

Gresham / reid straight swap?????

Id take either Reid tbh

 

[Yoda_]

Still a week away with an adductor

for Dreamtime at the ‘G on Friday night.

The small forward has overcome the adductor strain that’s sidelined him for the last two weeks. He is back in full training and is available for selection to face Richmond in the marquee Sir Doug Nicholls Round fixture.

 

[div12ressie]

another one of our failed small forward pickups.

what actually happened to him? from little bits i watched of saint kilda he looked like a gun, but ever since hes played for us he looks like a first year player that panics/low IQ

just imagine what he could have been if James Hird was coaching him!
