Toast Grigga!

[matt decat]

i think he has just broken the record for saying "you know" more times than anyone in a press conference, i counted 36 but i may have missed a couple.

nothing too exciting said by him but still an enjoyable video

 

[blue gunslinger]

can't wait for the footy to start!

 

[krayfesh]

Well, does he start every sentence with 'Yeah, definitely' like Gibbs?

 

[jj1978]

Best way to stop people from saying "you know" is by butting in and saying...

"Well actually no, I don't know"

It really throws people off and they actually begin to realise they're saying it too often and change their way of speaking...

My step-dad used to do it to my step-bro who developed the "you know" thing.. and everytime he said "you know" my stepdad (put on thick russian accent)... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't know!"

Another peeve is where people are now over-using "Obviously" .... eeeek

 

[thylacine60]

"Basically" seems to have replaced "absolutely" as the most overused and incorrectly used word in the English language.


Also, yay Grigga!

Sorry, Smurf. Here comes another derailment.

 

[Quazza]

is one of my my fave Blues right now. One of those players we've lacked for years-a real prick to play against

 

[Blueboys7]

I love the 'yeah nah' or 'yeah no' alot of the footballers use in there after-game interviews...Classic

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

At least he seems a better public speaker than Freo's Stephen Hill.

Someone better ask him if he will play out his career in navy then.

 

[thegreenmachine]

You know, don't you hate it when, you know, when people say, you know, you know, and when they keep saying you know, you know, and you know, stuff like you know and all that stuff you know about, you know, you know what I'm talking about, you know don't you?
You know, I'm just so bored right now.

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

I dont care if he says you know a 1000 times in a 2 minutes video, as long as he gets a kick and tears the opposition a new one.

 

[THE AISSASSIN]

Not close to Stevie Milne's ya know effort a few years back

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Grigg is playing a ripper, alot of upside to 2009 with grigga, really seems to have taken a step up.

Yep, looks like he will be the one to take a huge step fwd this year.
B+ grader at least

 

[thylacine60]

Haven't seen a newcomer come on as quickly as this bloke before. No more rabbits in the headlights for No 16. He runs all day and when he loads up the left foot I get a warm surge in the goolies.

 

[blue gunslinger]

His disposal was not the best but perhaps he feels our spotlight

I thought it was excellent barring 1 kick when got himself under pressure and bombed it long...very surprising comment Guns

 

[blue gunslinger]

Perhaps I want him to be the god I know he will be NOW!
Reminds me so much of me and it is just the NAB!

 

[blues4flag]

Was very pleased with his game tonight. Hope he gets time through the middle of the ground in the season proper. Agree with thy - the speed at which he's improved has been remarkable.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Is growing into his body and brain

He actually had quite a few rotations inside the centre square at centre bounces.....he will get plenty of time through the middle.

He did tonight and I was pleased with what I saw. Competition for spots will be higher come the season proper so time will be limited - I'm sure he'll rotate through, but I'd love to see him in a more permanent attacking role.

 

[BlueBelle]

I thought he spoke well at the press conference. He was composed and answered the questions well. Let's just say I have seen far worse!

His performance last night was great. Finds the ball and uses it well. Has really improved since his debut game against the Dees and is used to the tempo of the game.

Looking forward to seeing him progress even further this year and I think the opposition will really start to struggle to stop our midfield with the likes of Judd, Stevens, Gibbs, Murphy, Walker and Grigga rotating through it

 

[Alpha1]

Girgg is seriously quick as well, has a lot of dash and I loved his run and carry, breaking the lines. You can never have too many players who can run and carry the ball. And he can also link up and create space.

 

[thylacine60]

You forgot "push forward" and "run off his opponent".
