Grigg & Houli Sign On

[I Rock]

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-24/two-sign-for-tigers

Houli had triggered a year extension, however the Club added one more to take it till the end of 2018. Grigg has got another year.


Yah I suppose.




Not really yah. More meh.

 

[Sol23]

Damn wanted houli gone

 

[tigs2010]

Meh.

massive Houli fan, so very happy with this announcement

 

[telsor]

Waiting for the melts.

Good without extending Grigg by too much.... need to keep him a bit on the edge.

Houli is fair enough.... was going to be here anyway. The extra year as insurance for a Chris Yarran disaster?

 

[I Rock]

I suppose the Grigg extension means the Club won;t be looking to bring another Ruckman in.

grigg 1 year = eco 2017

NO surprise that we started to run and spread better when Bachar came back.
Hugely underrated on this board.

would have to be a consideration. Much cheaper to get that insurance For 2018 now and much more cheaply than have to go to market next year and pay overs potentially ?

Like last Sunday?

Sometimes Richmond are a spreading side, sometimes they are not. Like tackling.

These are both obvious and logical extensions. Hopefully Grigg is depth next year.

24 hours ago, we need to move Houli and Grigg on and get what we can for them, they have value and can be good players at other clubs.

Today after re-signing, what a s**t decision by the club, we're never going to get better if we keep these campaigners.

Grigg and Houli aren't world beaters but they are players that know how to play the game and when we actually get things right and play our best style of footy both are very important role players. Remember not everyone can be a star, you need those guys that can be counted on to get the job done week to week. Granted there are times when both are kept quiet but that happens to every sides role players.

Can't move everyone on - this tells me that a couple of our #1 draft picks who are not in our top 4-5 players will be seriously shopped around.

Has to happen

Like last Sunday?

Because one s**t game, by both teams, is what matters.
Houli is prepared to run and run and run.

Particularly in a backwards and sideways direction.

both are serial offenders of slow sidewards ball movement.

Wanted houlinot grigg mediocrity at its best

He's had so many clangers this year. He has no physicality. Soft as butter. He also had a year on his contract to go. What's with the rush to extend another 2 years? Would have been the perfect time to test the trade market. He has some value and I think the pick we could have got for him would have allowed us to get an upgrade on him.

I never cease to be amazed that people can watch the same thing yet see it completely differently.
Then again...thank god for that.
