Jarrad Grant

Re: Jarrad Grant

Must say he isnt the big tall strong forward I was thinking he would be, the one who was played in that position last year against Carlton.
Will he take Halls position in 2 years or is he to be a CHF I dont know what Eades plans are for him now as he seems to be playing around the centre a lot.
Does anyone know ?
He seems to be getting more confidence now and I am enjoying his improvement.

Triple M have a nickname for him too, cant recall it but its wierd and its something to do with his legs I think.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Gilbee just said on the Sunday Footy Show, that his nickname is Merlin.

There's something half human about him. Would be happy with Spock or Vulcan.

Re: Jarrad Grant

I actually called him "Granty" today.

Not quite deserving of that moniker yet, but if he keeps churning out efforts like his past month, it will not be far away.

Just call him Spock.

We have Roughhead and Jones starting to come through as potential FF/CHF options, with Cordy in the wings. Jarrad has said himself that he sees himself as a Murphy type, and at this stage I would tend to agree, minus the tricks but with more defensive oomph and better hands.

Holy crap, we've been calling him that for the last few weeks.
That's fantastic!

Unlucky not to get the rising star nomination this week, Fyfe from Fremantle got it. Another good game against Essendon on Friday night footy and he should be a shoe in.

Re: Jarrad Grant

Agree on the Rising Star Award, was just checking out age criteria and he qualifies!

Re: Jarrad Grant

It must be his turn!

A little wizardly magic should do the trick.

Your logic is sound.

Re: Jarrad Grant

On a down night tonight for the whole team, i still thought he played well. He is averaging very good figures for a first year player, would be good if he could get a couple of goals in his bank for some of the hard work he does. Constantly tries to present at every opportunity, i think he is doing ok across that CHF area.

Needs to work on his left foot though.

Playing that CHF role pretty well and leads high up the ground.

Should we start playing him out of the square, though? We look dreadful when the ball hits the ground and we desperately need another leading forward deep. Grant is very quick, has good hands and presents. Might be time to try it, despite him playing well up the ground.
