Jarrad Grant

Re: Jarrad Grant

Depends what we are talking about vis a vis hands. If we are talking speed in the dishing off hand passes that's one thing in terms of general sure handedness then Hill comes back into the equation.

Even that would be debatable - Hill has him for leap, but I like Grant as a contested mark too, despite his lack of strength at the minute.
His dish off, gather and run throught he centre of the ground for an effective inside 50 was beautiful play and on form he is currently part of our best fit 22.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Did a decent job tonight i thought, is really starting to make a forward spot his own.

11 disposals, 4 marks, 1 goal & 6 tackles.

I agree, he's certainly trying hard. I don't think I can say the same for Hill.

Certainly tried hard, and kept chasing hard, slowly but surely improving with each game.

Showing a bit more than some of the senior players.
IMO a key player in our future as a top team.

The goal he kicked was sensational. Doing enough to keep his spot.

Re: Jarrad Grant

He's got a presence in the forward half at the moment. He is starting to lead and present well, he's pressuring well and he isn't giving up. His attitude has been first rate and as a result, he's ahead of quite a few senior players. It's a real credit to him, as many were jumping down his throat only a month or so ago. That goal was a beauty too.

I agree, if he keeps improving I can't see why he can't be in our best 22.

How was it not paid a mark in the last 10minutes looked like a mark from where I was sitting, but he played pretty well tonight!

I saw it on TV when I got home, it hit the ground.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Tried hard tonight and that goal were all positives for the kid but he got a lesson from Bruce tonight. Conditions didn't suit his game and he got pushed off the ball too easy and his tackles didn't stick. But overall i am happy with what he has brought to the team and would keep him in there.

Re: Jarrad Grant

I thought he was OK again tonight, when the conditions probably didn't suit a taller player. His pressure on a Melbourne player, just enough to stop the guy from getting a clean possession but not giving way a free kick, was part of the play that got the ball to Griffen, who then had a chance to kick the winning goal.

It was.

He also puts his head over the ball and goes in hard. When he gets knocked over he gets straight back up and goes again, Josh Hill could learn a bit by watching this kid play. Bright future from Grant at the Dogs.

Josh Hill was credited with 10 tackles, not many stuck though.

That surprised me. But his tackling is usually pretty good, it's when the balls on the ground and someone is coming the other ways that's the problem and something he needs to iron out of his game if he wants a permanent spot.
