On the bright side.

We won.





Grant's misfortune means that there is a opportunity for a guy like Skipper or Harris to get some serious game/ground time. Every problem is supposed to be an opportunity, lets hope so.

To true local yokel the team have to overcome this and hopefully the player who gets his chance in grants absence will make the most of his chance whoever it is.

Bruton?

Different sort of player to Grant. Bruton will only ever be a tap ruckman with questionable disposal skills(a-la Scott Wynd) where as Grant is your classic CHB. For my money the best direct replacement is Skipper although there is a huge gulf between the two.


BTW this is Localyokel

Whilst Harris wont have Grant's flair and ability, he will certainly give the 'petulant one' Richo a run for his money if he is given the job.

I hope it is skip that gets a go.He was close tihs week and just missedout being named as an emergancy hopefully he gets a chance tihs week against the tiges.

Was thinking that Bandy could spend some time back.

I was thinking along those lines but Bandy is just to damn important for us across half forward and in the ruck.
Best hope is that Croft is just about ready and either Skipper or Harris are just waiting to impress

Hopefully brian will get a chance but id also like to see skip get a chance.

Unthough its pretty sad about Chris Grant as he must be one of most unluckiest players ever.
One door shuts and another opens. Possibly promote Boyd to cover Hahn/Dimma.

Remember we are the best backs to the wall club and we will move forward!

Probably need a good tall running player to cover Richo.

We'll have to use Bandy. Richardson is so strong he would kill a slight kid like Skipper or Harris. Collingwood got away with it Friday only because Richo kicked 1. 6.

I heard someone refer to Harrison as "Slo-Mo" which I thought was apt. He did, however, push up the ground and presented well.

Im gutted. On the TV they said if its a cruciate thats season 03 for Granty.

Grant is a HUGE hole in our side.

We gone from best CHB in the league to no CHB. Who is going to play. Skipper or Harris to be fast-tracked I guess, but they aint no Grant.
