He does some really good things for the Bulldogs, he has a really quick turn of speed and often finds space out the back of the packs, but his disposal is average for the most part.


I dont see him adding major improvement to our forward half, but that said would increase the strength of our list overall.

    Jarred Grant's playing style epitomises all that we're trying to rid ourselves of as a club.

    Not a hope in hell would I imagine we'd be interested.

    Taller skinnier Jack Watts.

    Watts is taller.

    If we get Jarrad Grant, can we please get Liam Jones too? Oh please can we can we?

    Maybe it's also the same people that reckon Jon Butcher would be a good addition to the side..turn it up.

    Did someone miss Roosy's point about bringing in competitors at the b&f?

    Is that why we are targeting Melksham?

    Does some ok things but wouldn't have him on my radar.

    Didn't he kick three first quarter goals in a game this year....oh wait a minute....

    This is getting beyond the joke now... every single player that is delisted someone is silly enough to start a thread about us having a look.

    FMD if we are gonna trade out Watts wouldn't it be ironic if we then went and pick up this spud!

  • Quote

    Now please this is getting silly. I'll support Watts because he's a dee. But i'm not so blind as to not see his weaknesses. Recruiting a player with the same weaknesses (and a couple of others besides eg poor disposal) would test my ability to fully support MFC players (though i have to admit other recent imports, notably Dawes have tested that abilty - i even broke my rule and let out an exasperated "Dawes" yell at the footy this year - though fortunately i stopped short of calling him a spud)

  • Quote

    Nope. No thanks. Agree with most the posts above - why pick up someone else's rubbish.

  • Quote

    Don't like him, a poor mans Watts.

    If we get rid of Watts and Howe and recruit duds like Grant and Melksham I will be extremely disappointed.

    A lot of water to go under the bridge yet, and to tell the truth no one has a clue what's really going on behind the scenes.

    Still hoping we land that big fish midfielder.

    One of the first times for a while that I agree with you Steve!

    We've already got Watts, we have ZERO need for a player like Jarrad Grant.

    yeah.........NUH !!!

    The only real basis for recruiting him is that his name starts with 'J'.

    I believe there's a secret priority pick clause where if you can bring your team to more than 50% starting with the same letter, you get a bonus pick every year to use on the best available draftee with that letter. Would be a handy bonus and we're nearly there.

    Melksham, Taylor, Grant... there's a definite theme of players who main attribute is their first initial.

    If it was a case of getting these players on low contracts for almost no trade cost, on the mutual understanding that they might quickly be just depth players and aren't guaranteed games, sure, we've got list space and do need depth.

    There is always the possibility that these players can be fired up - remembering that under Paul Roos Sydney became famous for turning recycled ordinary players into valuable contributors.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
