Always chasing kicks, backing up players, scrambling across to make tackles etc. one of the best things a player can have
Sounds like time is short and we won’t be keeping Harry. I just hope we make the most of the time we have with him as a team and make the eight.
I agree we need to make the most of it

It was a very important one for the storm tonight
Keep it up mate
You might just get us into a trade position with some bargaining power

Well we need a good Hooker so that would be Grant
Melbourne already have a good Hooker, the best Hooker actually and his name is Cameron Smith
Momorovski is doing a great job for Melbourne in the Centres and if that continues it can only help our cause
Dont forget Vunavalu is leaving and the Fox is on his way out
Melbourne will be short of backs and Momorovski could help solve that problem
But that's just my opinion

There weren't tonnes of clubs that could have afforded Cronk, but there were a few.
But he signs for the team that's already consistently featuring at the end of the year, who have just signed up the best fullback in the comp.
He starts with an established good side, containing some of the GOATs, then leaves for the only other team that has a strike rate anywhere near as good as Melbourne's. I can understand that but can't respect it, nor can I respect his comments.
The truly best players, the ones that are universally admired, take non-established clubs with them on their journey to greatness.

For someone that is admired by many for putting in the hard work to get to the top, it's kind of ironic that he promotes success the fast, easy way.

My interpretation is that Cronk is basically saying that he was a decent half back only, and that he had to play in great teams in order to make him look good.
Accordingly, if he played in a struggle-street team like the Tigers, his career would probably have lasted only 100 games or so.
Which means, that if he had joined the WT instead of Easts a few years back, his lack of greatness would have been obvious to all and his reputation would have been tarnished.
In providing his self-serving advice to Grant (which he dresses up as "fatherly" advice to a rookie) he not only denigrates our club and our coach, he also denigrates himself as a player.
However, Harry Grant is more than just a decent dummy half. Rather, he appears destined for greatness, and I would back him to shine in any company. Unlike Cronk, he doesn't need great players around him to make him look good.

Think you’re being a bit harsh on Cronks ability he was a terrific halfback. His career would’ve been different if we was at a weaker club no doubt but **he was still fantastic as a player, showed it at origin level and Australian level too.**
