Gresham - expectations this season

[Gershwin]

I expect he will miss half the season through injury. In the games he plays he will show flashes of brilliance but be ineffective most of the time. Same, same I guess.
Negative I know and will be deliriously happy if I am wrong.
Your thoughts?

[saynta]

I can only hope and pray that you are wrong...dead wrong.

[bobmurray]

I have NO expectations when it comes to Gresham, i'd like to see him have a season free from injury so that he can show everyone what he's got.

[Yorkeys]

I expect him to be brilliant for 5 games then injure himself and appear spasmodically after that.
Peris should prepare himself.

[The Fireman]

i predict he will continue to spray the ball.... just the way it is

[Rubyjo]

I feel he has been overated by saints fans .
Frustrating to watch but a few good moments . Hope he shines this season or will be on the chopping block.

1. No Injuries
2. Lower the eyes and kick with more precision

[B.M]

I expect him to leave at season’s end

[shanegrambeau]

To be positive about Gresh's prospects, I recommend the following mental exercise:

Close your eyes, and think of the past, all teams and a talented player, injury prone and with serious shortcomings (like kicking)
Now ask yourself, did they improve? Did they negotiate their limitations and learn to manage their body?
Viola! Your answer.

And that player is ................?

Gun player.

Get off his case and support him, you fickle bastards.

I wish I could thank you twice.

Gresh needs to be a forward pocket. Is a killer in that position.

He absolutely should not be the player kicking it inside 50m. Is really bad at that.

It’s hard because his decision making is a lot better way way up the ground as well hence I get the temptation to play him in the middle.

Forward pocket really hits the balance of maximising his strengths and hiding his weaknesses

[bigcarl]

Was lively today. He’s probably our most natural forward come to think of it. Will always present and find space. Keep him there.

And who was that No. 4 ripping Freo apart with his run in the last quarter? Oh, yeah!

[Otiman]

Happy to see him playing forward, he is dangerous and can rip a game apart from there.

[Devilhead]

He is a handful up forward with 17 possies and 2 goals

Blazed away once when he had Wood in the clear but for the most part he was good

Yeah… I like him a lot more than both Higgins and Butler when the ball is on the deck. He has this way of tapping and bursting that either brings others into play or seems him threaten to do something brilliant himself.

[The_Dud]

2 tackles (the whole team) inside 50 for the game is a real worry with all our small forwards, should be their bread and butter.

[saynta]

There is always someone ready to critise, even after a very good and unexpected win.

Yikes… didn’t know that stat but now that you mention it, it certainly rings true. I don’t remember a tackle all game.

I remember Gresh and Higgins trying to lay one each and getting brushed off easily but that’s def an area that needs improvement.

[Rubyjo]

Not a big fan of Gresh and he didn't dissapoint me first half ..but was fantastic second half ...love hate relationship but was instrumental in this win.

[Toy Saint]

Not sure we should have Higgins, Butler and Gresham in the same forward line.
