Thoughts on Grant's game tonight? Sounded pretty good on the radio.

Re: Jarrad Grant
Exceptional, he tried his guts out when chasing or attacking, he is very quick on his feet or recovering for second efforts..where he fits in a position best is the question.
I personally think he is still a forward.
If sticky hands is his strong point he is going to be one hell of a footballer once he starts taking marks and our players look for him a bit more.
My only worry is his kicking action, looks like he is kicking off the wrong foot every time.Bring back the biffComment

Re: Jarrad Grant
Hanging to see his goal in the last, they were pretty excited on radio.
He is one of the only shining lights this season, very exciting.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
He is the shining light this season. Keeps on showing something every game.
I am really loving his attack on the ball.
It's been a while since we've had a young tall come in and show us more than just a cameo every once and a while.
He has been a real contributor each week he's played.
Pretty soon he will have some scrutiny from other coaches, will be interesting to see how he copes with that. That will be his next lesson.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
How a bloke as skinny as he is continues to add physical presence to the forwardline, I'll never know. He puts his body on the line every chance he gets, and looked the quickest Bulldog out there tonight.
Between his super-sticky hands, his acceleration & footspeed, his endeavour and his football brain (which is very good) he really could be anything.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Just watched the goal on afl.com.au
His burst of speed was awesome, from the middle of Etihad all the way into about 20 out.Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
I love the kid. Simple!
And he has a very bright future ahead of him!
Maybe transfer the meat on Karmichael Hunt's Quads to Grant and he's complete

Re: Jarrad Grant
Jesus is he quick, that burst in the 1st quater when he beat about 5 Collingwood players to the ball punched it forward before he missed the ball with his kick was amazingComment

Re: Jarrad Grant
Too true.
In a way, worrying. Grant is a ~10 gamer who hasn't strung together a full season at any level for 3 years and plays like one of our most important players.
He is a world away from the Grant playing VFL last year who looked lazy at times, and was dropped to the 2nds late in the year.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Great goal. So much said in that one passage of play."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Re: Jarrad Grant
This kid is exciting.
For a player that was touted as a future full-forward in the Fevola mould when drafted, he has shown so much as a half forward in the style of a Robert Murphy. His pace is exceptional, that goal he kicked was awesome and one of the few highlights of tonight. The taps he does to his advantage, the quick little gather and handballs he does and his ability to weave at high speed is so impressive, and with strong hands on top of this I can see him being a very dangerous player for a long time.
The only query is really his kicking, and even then it seems to be very much in the same sort of style as Ablett's, except as of yet less reliable. I have high hopes that we may have another exceptional Grant on our hands.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment
