Grammy's kicking, tackling and second efforts
Was watching him carefully last night well before he tweaked his groin in the last quarter. Gram is definitely struggling, his great kicking at goal from last year is gone, he is always looking to give it off and his tackling and chasing pressure last night is worse than McQualter's. Got away with it against a weaker team last night but will need to play much better against Pies. I got the impression that his body is not up too it, what do others thnk??

Looks sore to me. A shadow of 09.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

We're hoping here too but can't see how 6 days are going to help his hip/groin issues and reverse his present form. Unfortunately, I reckon Geary would be a better run and carry player than Gram right now.Pwoit wrote:I heard on radio that he is still struggling with the hip operation that he had so still not 100%
Lets hope he's right to go next week.

Watching the taped replay now and looks clearly underdone. Is easily in our best 22 when fit but after focusing on his performance, I think he is going to struggle next week if he plays. We need 22 fit players to beat the filth. Their young pacy players will run rings around him going by his 2 finals efforts.plugger66 wrote:Looks fat. Didnt when he played well for a few weeks but does now that he isnt playing as well.

Just saw the Channel 9 News and Grammy was clearly hobbling. Going by his poor two finals matches and the further aggravation to his groin last night, I reckon he will be a liability if he plays in the GF. The guy has lost his goal kicking power on the run and he is now at 3/4 pace at best.jonesy wrote:Clearly underdone
Dal has looked to be carrying something for past two months also.
Then combine last nights injuries to the two,and GF day is a worry. Hope the medico's work wonders during the week

That's why I added Geary too earlier becuase he adds more run than Bakes, which we need. I like Jack and is more skilled but Geary has a harder body and seems Ross has short listed him with Bakes.jonesy wrote:Not sure they'll go Bakes for Gram though.
Be more likely to add some run with Geary or Steven
Pies have a number of smalls who can go forward and be dangerous, Didak, Thomas, Sidebottom and Davis if he is included, last nights side did not have one genuine small defender.jonesy wrote:Not sure they'll go Bakes for Gram though.

Maybe this year?
Baker is the perfect, do whatever it takes at whatever cost kind of footballer that you need for GFs, mark my words Collingwood will come at us physically and mentally, they will try and ruffle us, they will attack Roo, Milne, Dawson, Jones and DalSanto, it will be up to the likes of BJ Kosi Eddie Gardiner and BAKES to show that 2 can play at that game.
They are coached by IMO, an unsportsmanlike, spoilt, arrogant prat who will IMO instruct the rough stuff, the intimidation and underhanded tactics, Didak OBrien Johnson Maxwell and Swan all have the tendancy to turn into thugs if they feel it is necessary.
We must stand our ground early.
