    Grant showed he is capable of contributing in a top four team, if you recall.

    It's not far fetched to suggest the coach simply doesn't rate him. If that is the case (I really don't know if it is, or not) then it would certainly impact Grant's performance. How could it not?

      Not just the coach. His team mates don't rate him too highly either.

        Some of them think he's not a particularly good footballer either.

          Stevie Wonder wouldn't rate 85% of our list and he'd be right, so I wouldn't take into account whether Grant's team mates rate him or not, because the majority of them are ordinary anyway

            I rate our team in general. but we need a lot of development, minimum 4 more depth players to fill holes, and some confidence.

                Yes, but some of them do. I met Grant the other night, and Greenwood. He's a really nice guy - much taller than I expected. Grant is a player, for sure. We need skills, and he has them. Just needs to apply himself and if anyone can help him, it's the team we have now.

                        I'd believe anything. Footy clubs are strange places, full of strange people who really don't like people who are a little strange.
