Lets just send Jarad to the gym and throw away the key (for a few months)

Re: Jarrad Grant

Rodney Eade fielded a question about Grant from the audience at the Inside the Kennel Christmas Show. Grant had improved along with Stack and Everitt around the club since their return from the boot camp a few weeks ago. Rocket seemed genuinely happy about this.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Big day for Jarrad tomorrow, has showed some improvement so far this year at Williamstown. Needs to try & hold down a position in our forward line, seems as though he is fighting for it with Hill.

Best of luck Stinger!

Re: Jarrad Grant

Along with his kicking I feel Grant's biggest downside is that he doesn't demand the ball. I just hope he doesn't go missing tonight.

Agree with this. He has all the attributes to be a very good player, but he needs to improve his authority out on the field and especially where he leads to.

Whilst there's no doubt if Grant doesn't perform very well tonight, he'll be canned by our supporters, I have hopes for him. Still another year away from critical judgement IMO.

The guy is still learning the ropes. He's 19 FFS. Tonight I'll be happy if he gets involved. Goals/kicks/handballs are secondary. If he is creating space, leading well, doing the 1%'ers I'll be pleased.

Re: Jarrad Grant

his 2nd tonight was clever for a big man. Did a couple of good things but sometimes didn't stick a mark or tackle that he should have.

You should be pleased tonight Fredi, he did get involved and I thought he did reasonably well.

Yep, I liked his game.

Re: Jarrad Grant

He seems to come in and out of the game alot, but in saying that, he chased hard and tackled, got a few handballs, and kicked a couple of nice goals. This can only do him some good.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Like some of us felt would happen, Bazz's presence has already had a good flow-on effect on Grant and Roughead, where they can just learn and contribute without having to carry the entire goalkicking burden on their young shoulders.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Just a thought but arguably our biggest hole is the lack of a small forward, could Grant play this role? He willingly chases and tackles, is a more then capable crumber and for a man of his size he is quite quick. Perhaps he can fill this role, as well as being able to take the big grabs.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Well Done Granty your pressure was fantastic a hint of magic about him that 2nd goal was pure class.
Hopefully our supporters will start believing in him and not bag him

Re: Jarrad Grant

Grant struggled in some ways however his workrate was fantastic, he brough himself into the game through sheer hard work. Well deserved 2 goals and if that's the workrate he brings to the table all the time, he ought to succeed
