Did he shank it today??! If so, I can't remember.. I thought his kicking was pretty good, and his run and curry is very important to our team.

the curry gave him the runs???


Lance or James??

Didnt have alot of long kicks which are the ones that usually get shanked. Was good enough, didnt appear to have a high posession game for him but I havent seen actual stats.


Maybe this year?

The whole team played to the game plan. No bombs away from Grammy today.

A swirling, flukey breeze may not have helped Kosi but ensured Grammy's passes hit their targets. He was good today, found space, provided run and kicked well.


Graceful, elusive, strong overhead and no Easybeat!

Was very good.

I think he has been instructed to handball more instead of kick, because he tried to handball at most occasions today, but still was good.

Mate they were all sensational today. Everyone did their bit. The scoreline didn't reflect our dominance at all.

On the words of Jeff Fenench - 'I love yous all sainters' :D

I think you'll find his run and curry helped with the worm burners...

felt like he was much much better one on one yesterday. Don't have the stats to back it up, but he seemed to win a lot more contests

I remember one part of the game, he took on either Didak or Davis (?) and managed to prevent them getting the ball....he was great.

Have watched the game twice today, and can hardly fault his disposal.

I'm a huge fan of his run and carry and breaking the lines and "doing something".

His critics have been conspicuous by their absence after this game, normally the swords are out like they would be for certain others.

PS he had 22 disposals.

he did do more hand passing, stilll he had some long kicks, but did not bomb it nor tried to kick a goal himself!

i wonder if this what was instructed to him?

Not sure but a couple of times I yelled for him to have a shot.

He can be a loose cannon, but he's one of my top 12, just because he has a go. I'd hate to see his shots at goal taken out of his game like X's high marking was.

One thing you get with Gram is his run and ambition to take the game on.

Doesn't work all the time, but you need a bloke like this.

That passage where he got it in tight on the boundary line under pressure, nailed a stab pass to raph, kept running, took the handpass and hit kosi on the chest was pretty good.

I think he's really important to the gameplan, along with Joey and Ray, because they're the ones always running hard to receive a handball or give a get out option.

Perhaps the game he missed was a real turning point for him, sometimes we all need a kick up the bum :wink:

Its a bit like an IT help desk, no one calls to let them know they're doing a good job.

I've been a critic, particularly after the game that produced the 10 page thread.

Must say I was impressed with his game on saturday, not just his kicking but he seemed more prepared to get involved in the physical contests.

Now I feel like I need to call the IT desk to let them know everything is working fine...

Reincarnated has the inside word that he was instructed to handball more often and if there was not a clear cut longer options going forward look closer

Grammy is on his 100 games next up, the Preliminary Final.
Hope he puts in a "blinder" and contributes to a huge win.
