Mitchell Grigg Biography

Mitch Grigg wins his second straight Magarey Medal as the best and fairest player in the SANFL for 2018.

The Crows cut Ricky Henderson and midfielder Mitch Grigg ahead of the AFL's first list lodgement deadline.

The Crows have also confirmed the upgrading of ruckman Reilly O'Brien, a new two-year deal for emerging forward Harry Dear and one-year extensions for rookies Jonathon Beech and Paul Hunter.

After signing a one-year deal with Adelaide in 2015, Mitch Grigg knows he has to step up in 2016.

"This year's really a big year for me, obviously I only got the one-year deal [last season] so I'm really looking to consolidate my spot," Grigg said.

"I think it was a pretty fair decision … I was in and out of the side, not really consolidating a spot – three-year deals don't come for those sorts of players.

"[I don't feel] many pressures at all to be honest. Yeah, it's a one-year deal and you don't know what is ahead of that but if I could say right now what I want to happen, it'd be to play consistently."

Mitch Grigg has strung five games in succession from the Crows but says he is still working on his game.

"I do feel comfortable out there now, I'd love to be a regular part of the team," Grigg said.

"I've got a lot to improve on, my kicking hasn't been at the level that I want it to – I missed three goals [last] weekend and that's not acceptable by my standards.

"Phil just wants me to take the game on and use my kick."

Mitchell Grigg makes his AFL debut for Adelaide at Football Park with 12 disposals (5 kicks and 7 handballs), a mark and 2 tackles in a 2-point win over Geelong.
