Player Watch #6: Shaun Grigg

[Sir_Loin]

Its great to reflect on a trade where we won hands down.

Wish we had more Andy Collins - Shaun Grigg trades

Im going to miss him. He was a big part of our rise from those dark days.

Was the worst possible trade for Andy Collins. He left us as a handy player and Carlton destroyed his career.

 

[KiwiTiger]

I wonder if he will do a lap in a car on Sunday?
KiwiTiger any idea?

No idea mate, but great idea.

Great career Shaun, very underrated player and premiership ruckman.

 

[Tenacious T]

Yep, he took a while to grow on me but his ability to find space on the outer wing and hit up Jack was brilliant.
Incredibly reliable and had plenty of smarts about him.

Bloody shame we’ll never seen our Premiership 22 play together again.
Cheers Grigga.

Never thought he reached handy with us and it did nosedive at the blues.

There just seemed to be alot of love on the board and at the ground for him.

How many good ex Carlton players have we picked up

Grigg, Bond and Ricky McClean seems to be it.

Well done Grigga, respect......
you helped us win a flag, you stuck it up a few, you probably could go around again but your taking one for team again to give/keep a young star a go and help list management.... The ultimate team man, loved by all.

You can add Megan Gale to that list

It is a sad day to see such a great club player, premiership player and life member hang up the boots due to injury. Grigga you had a great career with us and I hope upon reflection that you don't regret the move from carlton one bit as we have enjoyed having you at RFC. Well done.

[Al Heimer]

Looking forward to the video of when he tells the playing group - whilst it's sad, it's incredible inner sanctum footage. I think Dimma will be emotional with this one like he was with Maric.

Great video.
To see the emotion in the room was fantastic. (Tears from Dusty as well)
That emotion clearly shows the respect Grigg has earnt at Tigerland.
Being a premiership player he will always be remembered fondly.

Brilliant! How good was that! Cheers to all involved...had a moist eye listening!

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Listening to his farewell the one thing that came through striong was his respect for Dimma and what he means to the players “you’ve always got our back “. Was the only time he struggled to get through that.

Well done to Grigga not one of my favourite players to watch but a great clubman and important character around the club. Along with Cotch and Dimma I think he’s been a very stabilising figure for Dusty

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Bloody shame we’ll never seen our Premiership 22 play together again.
Cheers Grigga.

You know something we don't about this year's premiership side?

 

[Royce Hafey]

Has sons. Richo and Cotch should take notes.

Naishy to pinch #6

 

[GoTigers2015]

All class by Shaun Grigg to announce his retirement early to help the club get another player in the MSD.

 

[The Filth]

Shaun Grigg - respect, excellent utility player and great clubman.
Always performed well in whatever role he was asked to play.
Tough and consistent performer.
His retirement allows the Tigers to use a mid-season draft pick.
Loyal and selfless to the end - like the Tigers of old, strong and bold.
Hope he can overcome his injuries so he can enjoy his life after football.

Grigga’s Retirement speech I will always be a Richmond man and blood brother

I love that s**t

 

[TigersAlways]

Congrats to Grigga. Glad he is staying at the club too as he has good footy smarts. We certainly won that trade.
