Player Watch #24 Sam Grlj

[GroggSquad]

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



grlj vs whitlock for 10 years now

What an underwhelming outcome after footy’s longest victory lap landing North’s Pick 3!

Based on what you've read or you actually follow these kids?

Get behind the sizzler! Looks like a jet.
I heard we would address our need for speed so happy with this pick.

 

[DickieKnee]

How many big body mids do we need?

We won premierships with a scrawny midfielder with elite delivery skills, Sane Edwards.

Up the grizzler

So we have a slam dunk superstar elite prospect do we? Because that’s what I was expecting with North’s Pick 3

 

[tunksy]

Can definitely see why we picked him. Lots of talent and different to the rest of our midfield mix

 

[Mr Magic]

The trouble with this pick, and it is not Sam Grlj, what prominent role if any is he supposed to be doing??

people can say pick 8 but CFC, Gold Coast and all other clubs could not access pick 8, they had their academies but they could not access pick 8.

Like if pick Sam Grlj, why not trade back and pick him?

Worst case he ends up being a super damaging half back flanker imo. Not convinced he can make it as a mid, but I hope once he gets a bit stronger he proves me wrong.

Said months ago that he’s the one I wanted. Richmond did an amazing job of not revealing who they wanted. Must say up to 5pm today I was in a chat with a few and saying a couple of player managers had no idea. Says a lot about our team.

Grilj is dynamite. I know club believe he will turn into a midfielder in time. His pace and endurance combo is unique. He will make things happen. Butters without the prolific element of possessions yet, but could come.

Excited to see how he develops. What a wonderful young man too. His reaction was beautiful.

trying to avoid a Butters scenario to be honest.

Looking at Sam Cummings thinking Leigh Mathews. But seriously Leigh is a stupid bar it is is not fair on Sam C but Leigh was all about winning premierships

At least for Duursma the Bont comparisons Bont has won one premiership and played in another GF

Vic metro captain, has the attributes we absolutely need pace and agility and acquitted himself very well in 2 VFL games he played with us as a 17yo ,,, yea terrible choice

Thing with roby is his midfield work was not dissimilar to smillie , with his marking ability likely to spend more time f50 . With the talls we have invested , we don’t need that so invest in pace was the need to have filled

 

[Le RickyBobby]

Love that he has that Dawg in him. Kids got mongrel about him.

With a side step thru traffic and pace off the mark , of course he will make it as a mid , what you think he’s too slow

doesn't need to be a contested beast anyway, there won't be any contests left in AFL footy by the time he is peak age

That's Insane Edwards to you!

I thought I heard we didn't rate Duursma so highly

can't argue with the sidestep, elite. Shai without the slipping. Should make him a danger resting as a small forward

hope the new 'shrug is prior' doesn't hurt exactly his one wood, however.

Umps will determine any Richmond player to have prior opportunity whether or not they actually get their hands on the ball
