Jarrad Grant

[The Underdog]

I'm disappointed in a fashion as I thought Jarrad might finally be starting to show some return (aside from the end of 2013 form explosion). However I do think that with the role he finished up playing that a McLean, Daniel or Dale could quite easily play the same role to largely the same effect if not better in the long term.

I still don't think we saw his best. If only he didn't have a brain, I think his body could kick those goals. I saw him at preseason training was it '14 or '13? kick to kick to and from goal. Grant was taking all the marks, was clearly the dominant mark out there and was slotting the goals. I think he underperformed in these skills and his goal kicking became a nut case.

Farewell Spindles. I enjoyed seeing you play. When you got it right it was great - a cracking one grab mark, the chase down tackles, the clever handballs and the odd goal. Those 5 against Essendon will not be forgotten. Good luck and thanks for your efforts in the red white and blue - 80 odd games is more than I'll ever play. Congratulations.

You already forgot, it was 6

His game against Carlton a few weeks earlier was even better. Kicked 4 goals from memory but was in everything - probably his most complete AFL game.

Shame his AFL career looks over. His best is clearly AFL standard but he does flash in and out of games too much for a player in the system as long as he's been. I was in the 'keep him for another year' camp but I do understand the rationale for not doing so.

I think you might be remembering a game from a few years later, maybe 2013.

In 2010 he kicked 1 goal from 12 touches against Carlton in a thumping win. Hall kicked 6.

Yep, definitely the 2013 game at Etihad (late in the season when we won a few and then stupidly extended McCartney's contract). Easily his best AFL game.

So its Grants fault we extended BMacs contract, should of got rid of him earlier then.

Delisted Dog Jarrad Grant on Suns' radar

GOLD Coast has turned its attention to former Western Bulldogs forward Jarrad Grant as the Suns looks to add a versatile forward to their set-up.

The Dogs did not offer the 26-year-old free agent a contract despite him playing 19 games in 2015 and he was officially delisted after last week's trade period.

Grant is due back from overseas later this week but AFL.com.au understands Suns officials have been in discussions around potentially acquiring Grant who is now a delisted free agent.

The Suns made a strong play this year for former Demon Jeremy Howe, who eventually decided to stay in Victoria and join Collingwood, and then made a bid for Carlton's Andrejs Everitt on the final day of the NAB AFL Trade period.

Grant, who was selected with pick No.5 in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft, played 81 games for the Bulldogs after making his debut in 2009 under current Suns coach Rodney Eade.

He played three seasons under Eade and kicked 45 goals in 36 games in 2010 and 2011 before Eade was replaced.

Grant struggled for consistency after Eade left, performing well in patches but being guilty of drifting in and out of games at times.

He has pace, is smart with the ball in hands and provides an x-factor when at his best.

He averaged 14 disposals a game and took 16 marks inside 50 in 2015 and was considered unlucky to be delisted. He also played in Footscray's 2014 VFL premiership team.

The Suns managed to acquire experienced West Coast midfielder Matt Rosa and North Melbourne ruckman Daniel Currie during the trade period as well as set themselves up for the next two drafts with early picks.

The delisted free agency period opens on Saturday.

Good luck Jarrad, I hope you get another chance.

[jeemak]

Good luck to him.

[GVGjr]

Ideal scenario for him. I think he could make a go of it and hope that he does.

[EasternWest]

I hope they pick him up and I hope he does well.

[F'scary]

It is not going to be great watching him run out in Suns colours against us. But otherwise, I hope the best for the rest of his career.
