Elite is elite. That's right at the top.
You don't have to be elite to be above average.
Best 22 in a side for 7 years culminating in a premiership. Doesn't sound average to me.
CONFIRMED: #9 Shaun Grigg to Richmond for Andrew Collins

A player leaving the Tigers in acrimonious circumstance. Probably happened with Raines, Cloke and BT in the day.

Walker and Thornton asked too. Ended up staying.
Correct, asked, didn't happen at the trade table and looked after the club.

I just booed anything that was blue and white, or even looked blue and white
Players leave clubs every year, most go about it okay, Grigg was one who didn't.
Nope. Crows and Hawks asked at the trade table.

Always had a pretty low ceiling and some obvious deficiencies, but he's carved out a pretty handy career has ol' Griggy.
Andy Collins was dreadful at Carlton (and to be fair he'd only really shown a few signs at Richmond, including 1 or 2 BOG's) and never looked up to the pace when he broke into the senior team. Had a few injuries understandably, but his footy IQ was pretty poor and for a small forward he didn't have a lot of pace.
Grigg in hindsight was the perfect guy to bring in at that point of the Tigers rebuild. Cheap, AFL-ready with senior experience and added immediate depth while their young midfielders were developing. Astute pickup.
