Player Watch #24 Sam Grlj

[fargothegreat]

Wouldn't be surprised to see him line up on the wing in round one.

 

[voorhees]

back in the recruitment team on this one.
all the best Grlj
your a tiger...go get em son

 

[Danog]

Very happy with this pick.

Just a little sad we couldn't get anything out of Essendon for a slide. Even F2 would've been nice, considering possible bids next year.

 

[sante]

Reckon he’ll be a fan favourite pretty quickly

 

[sanaya]

another reason to get around grlj is because he was taken with norfs pick



grlj vs whitlock for 10 years now

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Plays nothing like Butters.

Only upside I see with this pick is the direction the AFL is heading makes guys like Grlj more valuable than before.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Only from nuffies

And there’s plenty of them on both sides of the fence.

Unfortunately for us Norf have had a big win with Dovaston as well so we’ll be hearing how well they’ve done out of it especially if Whitlock ends up ok

 

[austyn08]

Didn’t look out of place in our ressies which is a great sign.
Combine made it a very confident pick.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Happy with Grilj. Will be interesting to see how it goes. His combo of speed sideways acceleration and endurance is elite. Does the tough stuff. So happy with his upside.

lots of good players still there, so interesting.

 

[Shogun]

The poor kid

The comparisons with Robey and their respective careers will be endless.

Bomber's don't win finals. I think Grilla will be fine

 

[Cactus_]

So, you’re telling me we got this kid for pick 27 in last years draft?

Nice.

 

[tiger_tough]

Slot him in round 1 IMO.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

He could be Reece Conca.

Conca had no pace

 

[Lsta062]

Could he develop into the next Zak Butters

This.

Conservative pick compared to last year, seemed to have flipped our stated draft philosophy of taking risks on impact players that win big finals?

 

[Mr Magic]

The poor kid

The comparisons with Robey and their respective careers will be endless.

he is not the recruiters

 

[Drunken Wookie]

The poor kid

The comparisons with Robey and their respective careers will be endless.

nah 2 seasons probably, long enough to realise robey is a plodder

 

[biaseddustyfan]

how you say his name

 

[Tiges1229]

Dudd delist

 

[59Stanley]

Great pick up. He has stacks of pace and endurance. His agility is insane and has an explosive handball. He will be an absolute ripper with his involvement in games. Played out of position at times during champs. Will develop into a special player.
Robey will never catch him he’s too quick and he will leave Sharp in his wake.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Everyone on here who has been crying out for pace all year have no right to complain about this pick.

 

[DickieKnee]

We need pace on the break, this guy promises to deliver.

 

[Burning bright]

Need for speed big tick
Need for inside extraction big tick

The only question will the Tiger army christen him the Griller or the Sizzler?

Welcome to Tigerland Samuel

[Morro]

Plays nothing like Butters.

Only upside I see with this pick is the direction the AFL is heading makes guys like Grlj more valuable than before.

That would be true if Butters wasnt fast, aggressive and tough.

 

[RockJobster0312]

I had both Robey and Taylor ahead of Grjl and Cumming; so for neither to be taken despite being available at both picks is a tad disappointing for me.

That said, for what Richmond need in terms of type, Grjl and Cumming are the best picks and that counts for something.
