Mitch GRIGG

2016 Digest:   Consistency is the key to his game. Has a tremendously penetrating left foot and gives the club a different dimension. Can play inside and outside midfield although his best position is on the wing, and he needs to work on his efficiency and further develop his run and carry. The Crows must get the ball into his hands more often.

2016 NAB Cup:   Available for selection despite a minor thigh niggle ruling him out of the final match against Suns. For prior not great from limited game time.
