#5 Jarrad Grant

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Do you think it is too early to call on one NAB cup game that Henderson played?
Do you think Buddy will maintain his great form of 2007, or will he be double teamed?
Or do you think the answers to your question will be answered in another 3-4 years time?

Yep lock in C for me as well.

It is way to early to say Henderson is better than Grant or how the doggies are going to go lets just wait a bit ok.

Looking at his video package, nice touch of arrogance. Impressive and has a good frame to build some muscle on.

Ah the 2007 draft, we took Jared Grant at pick 5 overlooking Patrick Dangerfield(10), Alex Rance (18), Harry Taylor, Cale hooker .......

Make it stop, make it stop .....

I can understand overlooking Dangerfield at the time, as elements of the supporter base would have burned the place down if we had overlooked a KPP for another midfielder. That is an apples and pears hindsight comparison - but some of the other options were definitely better suited to our needs...

It is a fun game to play: when a draft pick turns out to be underwhelming, check to see who was still on the board who has gone on to great things.

Fun but the wisdom of hindsight is not there on draft night.

Grant had the talent. He showed it to us in glimpses. He could have been a great HFF with the skills he had. Just never put it together often enough.

Agreed, but if you do want to compare and contrast, you need to do for similar position types, not just take the best player after pick X. That may not have been a need the club at that time

Henderson would have been a 200 game player for us I reckon. Even still, #jarradgrantislife.

 

[iambrilliant]

They put he’s mobile phone number up on the internet on another post hahah poor bloke can’t catch a break

 

[Arkangel]

If he doesn’t end up being the best real estate agent of his draft, I’ll swim across Port Phillip Bay.

 

[Braybrook Son]

No reason why he can’t sell houses. He sold that fact that he could play football to us for 7 years or so!

If he put the same amount of time into his footy as he did to picking horses, who knows what might have been.
