The spoil that lifted a club

Former Sydney Swan Tadhg Kennelly believes Jack Grimes’ inspirational spoil on Patrick Dangerfield late during the Demons’ fighting win over the Crows last weekend is something the club can hang their hat on as they build their 2014 season.

'From that instant it can change a season, and a captain stepping up like that at full back one-out against one of the best players in the competition – it’s an enormous moment for that football club…' said Kennelly.

The premiership Swan defender told SportsFan the less-glamorous 'one-percenters' that the fans don’t always see or value are priceless contributions.

'The club themselves, the players within the club would say: Wow! That’s better than kicking six goals.

Great to see the co captain getting some love. That spoil was magnificent and absolutely crucial to the victory.

 

I am really proud that Grimes delivered the 'spoil of the year', Dawes delivered the 'tackle of the year' and Viney delivered what I would call the legal 'hit of the year'. Also loved Dawes making sure Jaensch didn't get the kick away without any physical contact. So many great 1%ers and tough acts.

I have been really critical of Grimes but his game on Saturday night was exceptional. He has no right to stay with Dangerfield on the lead. A brilliant effort.

Not the best picture of Jack but he played a great game on Saturday and the spoil was awesome!

 

I think the New Melbourne is eyeing up some better possies in the carpark !!

by that I mean... we're looking to arrive. Not there yet but we're lifting. More importantly in a fashion those that lead are lifting even more.

This is what has to happen week in week out now. Playing real footy at the best level.

Well done Grimesy. Youre getting youre thang happening again. :)
