Haha good one.
I love crouch in particular but let's not pretend he's anything special off the ball
Why did we delist grigg?

Hes still better than Grigg, who didnt chase his opponent all day today either
No doubt about that. But he was much leaner when he got his first game compared to how he looked after we decided he was going to be an inside mid.

Viney is a defensive animal
Reckon Viney got Grigg covered in skin folds as well. Grigg is more Stewie Dew.
A little harshly treated???? He wasn't picked up by another AFL team (even as a rookie) after being delisted, that's saying something......but I did thought he had potential at one stage but didn't develop any further. Being a 2-3 years older, he might have improved and will likely get another chance at a low club.Knowing Mitch this loss today will absolutely be hurting. Thought he was a little harshly treated at the Crows but it’s a business and can understand their decision. Poor bugger is probably going to be off to Carlton next year aswell

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Apparently delisted because he was too Griggarious.
Yeah nah

Yeah, the interview he gave a few weeks ago, didn't scream, give me another go ...or that he'd be 100% committed to the fitness levels required at AFL level

Because he's a hard core landscaper and works hard in that industry. Pick up a concrete saw dickhead.
Look I'm not suggesting Grigg should be straight into our starting midfield.
But the reason you gave for why we dumped him was bullshit in its purest form.
Given we rookie a mature ager from the SANFL every year, do you think we will swallow Campo's pride and take the best available?

He was also a victim of our list profile, so no I dont think we will.
Someone will, and he does deserve it. But the reasons for his delisting were justified.

A bigger deal out west.
Well, beefing someone up has the goal of improving their contested game due to ideally
Jack Viney has the natural contested ability to survive despite, similar to Matt Crouch. Mitch Grigg does not have that ability which for his size is needed to survive.
The smaller you are, the more natural ability as a contested midfielder you need. There is a point that you become so small that you cannot survive despite.

That travesty has nothing to do with Grigg, just Mackay somehow deceived multiple people into giving him 200 games.

I just did some research on Mitch, Grigg in his draft year weighed in at 85kg and 183cm at the National Combine, played for Adelaide at 83kg and 183cm. He was a standout at the Nationals that year but tested poorly at the combine in the athletic testing [speed, agility, standing jump etc] but went OK in the endurance testing, probably why he slipped down the draft order to #41
#9
Shows that work rate off the ball and off the clock can have a fair influence on an AFL career. And rightly so. It’s a shame he didn’t want it enough, but he’s not the first nor the last to be a wasted talent.

I thought he was too slow and couldnt hit a target. I hope he gets another gig if he wants it.
Has beefed up since I saw him last.

Goal kicking mid who plays well in big games...can we merge this with the draft needs 2018 thread
Oh that's right, he's too slow and unfit
How good would he be when he is fit

He wouldn't be good. He is a great SANFL player and nothing more.
I liked him a lot as well, but really, he just doesn't have enough to his game to survive unless he's magically become agile.
