#54- Sam Grimley

Thought he was good, looked dangerous and worked hard to provide a option for the kicker

Worth another game next week

Looked okay up forward, that doesnt fit in at essendon. Back to the magoos son

Sleep on it

I saw hints today the three mobile towers could run around and create space for each other and all kick goals (especially when we did that odd thing of kicking to their advantage).

I also saw that Grimley appeared to be useless in the ruck — just a token jump and no apparent plan.

The relative evaluation of that plus and minus may determine whether the fourth mobile tower (McKernan) gets a run any time soon.

Led straight out from goal, … straight up the middle … more than twice, … it looked so … odd.

His set shots looked like the Grimley from the VFL last season.

Looked to have a nice steady action with a Gunston grip which was nice to see.

Gets another week, at least.

Three talls in the forward line is too cumbersome. Doubt he is AFL standard.

Well I'm convinced!

Kicked goals. Stays.

Can goal. We like goals don’t we?

With some crumbling/chasing small and medium forwards we would look a lot better down there. Seems pretty mobile can mark and kick. All useful skills.

There’s definitely crumbling going on down there.

I think he can really help out JD with his hair presentation.

Only if there’s no more than 10 of them…

Played well and looked like he belonged

I think Smack is a longer term option and should be preference when he is fit and in form.

Three talls in the forward line is too cumbersome. Doubt he is AFL standard.

Because there are three talls in the forward line? Or because he pales into insignificance next to the rest of our talented forward line? Or just because…

His slips catch style grab was a beauty.

I still don’t rate him, think he suffers from the Bellchambers disease - can only play straight lines.

I’d rather persist with Ambrose or give Smack a run.

My SC team wants him in though, so…
