Re: Jarrad Grant
Grant and Roughead both exceeded expectations tonight. Rocket would have to love the effort of Grant - I'm really happy for the kid as he has obviously taken to heart the need for him to increase his training and playing intensity. He'll still play a lot of games at Willi before he is a permanent fixture but Grant certainly looks a keeper and Hill should be very worried.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
For mine he is a guy that seems to be his own biggest critic and this has been holding him back from developing as we all would like.
What I liked last night was that he got busy, did not drop his head at any time and just wanted to contribute. From a distance this makes me confident that he has got it together between the ears and we can now look forward to some consistent improvement this year.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
I am just another one who was really impressed with his effort last night. I know disposals mean very little in the modern game but his quarter break down was 3, 4, 3 and 4. Worked hard and was thereabouts consistency. Great to see he didn't go missing for periods in the game. 3 tackles and chased really hard. Also good to see that he had 78% TOG, not bad for someone with doubts over their AFL ready fitness.
Really wasn't the type of game I expected from Grant, lots of handballs and close in work. If I was told he would have a decent game I would have expected a few quality one grab marks but only had one for the night. A very pleasant surprise.Comment

Was good to see him given some good game time, and get right into the game last night, hope he gets a game next week.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
How quick are the kid's hands though! Even ignoring his last quaretr goal, his pick up & dish offs are lightning quick. He must put a heap of pressure on himself - he seemed genuinely relieved to kick his first goal, but not happy at all. At least he gave a bit of a point after his second. Monkey's off the back now hopefully.
I know he's been criticised in the past for being lazy or for deciding when he will & wont go, but last night was the polar opposite; throwing his body into anything he could. Should hold his spot.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Jarrad Grant
Took a further step up tonight. Continued to apply tackling pressure and also presented to the ball carrier. Gave a glimpse of his overhead ability and field kicking was good. Disappointing miss from within range and appeared to have an inflated idea with regard to his ability to kick over 50 with his last shot.
Still, I am convinced. Hasn't quite justified the number 5 pick just yet, but no doubt he will be a very good KPP.The Angels have the phone box. [SIZE="2"]Don't blink![/SIZE]Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
I think that Grant will be a good player once he gets a better motor and puts on some weight. I like his tackling and hands. I cant see him playing CHF any time soon. But he shows a lot more intensity at the moment than Josh Hill.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
Really liked his game, gets the fumbles with the chest marks but he's starting to show how good he is overhead. I think he should extend the dukes more often at this stage, because he doesn't really have the body at the moment to shield the ball for the chest mark. Great pressure again.'And the Western suburbs erupt!'Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
"Gee he has pace to burn". Got 5 metres ahead of Gwilt a few times which is no mean feat. Very sticky hands provided a target, I thought his tackling did not stick as well as it did against Adeliade. Alot to like about Grants game in my opinion.Comment

Showing enough to persist with him. And good on him, he must feel as if he's under heaps of pressure."It's over. It's all over."Comment
