Welcome to Essendon - Sam Grimley

In homer voice " good old grimey"

EAD Port

Yep, … in the tradition of Fark Carlton! … EAD Port!

The Grimley Reaper welcome aboard.

It’s ‘Grimley’, not Grimely. Need to fix the thread title.

Proven accurate goal kicking forward, does that really fit in with our current game plan?

Probably fits better into our “waisted” age profile, than some of the 30 something top ups, but was completely bypassed at the last draft by 22 clubs, presumably because he is “too old” to draft.

Plays angry, which I like.

As Homer Simpson would say… Ahh Grimey

Good we picked up a tall:

Yep reckon he’ll do okay.

Hooker replacement :wink:

Is this the guy who hadn't played a game for 4 years then got his chance and kicked 3 or so on debut?

Correct

Think that was Lowden who went to Adelaide

Could be our James Podsiadly-type recruit.

A mature-age player who’s had to bide his time in the VFL for quite a number of years before finally getting his opportunity at AFL level.

Hopefully he can have a similar impact with us as Podsiadly did with the Cats.

if we can ever get it into our forward line.

Good pickup.

Cale Hooker. Height 197 cm, Weight 100 kg.

On the surface, a close physical match. Strength, nowse, marking…Grimley has a goal, presuming he’s for a forward role.

Happy with this signing. EAD port + kochie.
Fark carltank!

I am getting more worried that other clubs will pinch these recruits come seasons’ end when they sparkle in our 2016 flag!

You are a Mad Bomber, I like you.

Is the name Dreamer Bomber taken?

Yep reckon he'll do okay.

Hooker replacement :wink:

always hard to replace a good hooker though.

Hawthorn probably a bit sorry they delisted him in September , with Roughy out of the game for at least 4 probably 6 months
