Grigg

[HBF]

Did Grigg get any contested ball in that game (didn't tape it)? At present he looks to be predominantly a reciever but I'm hoping that we can develop him so that he can play in the centre square and get his own ball.

A little IIRC, but he also DID NOT hang out the back of packs and get the easy kick - ala Scott Camporeale.

The more that I think about it, the more i think Wayne Hughes might have pulled a rabbit out of a hat here.

Good article on the CFC website about Grigg.

Saw Grigg at training / family day Friday.

If you look under the Hartlett / Raso / Flint thread I have ended with my team for Round one (speculative / subjective) next season.

As a calculated risk I have Grigga on the wing over playing a Gibbs early on.

At 190 cm, 80 plus kg's (pre season not over yet), good penetrating left foot, can run the lines with good endurance, why not, he is a chance.

I felt he had better strength and development in his lower body (calves) than say Gibbs, and I feel once we get over the romance of Gibbs we will let him play (possibly) three or four rounds in the VFL before his debut.

Now that's not to say Gibbs won't play round one and dominate, don't get me wrong, but I think you will read my reasoning and they are reasonable.

Obviously injuries etc will have an impact on that selection and of course NAB cup form.

Nice bump BG, but a good article nonetheless.

Well I wasn't going to start another thread when there was one already
