Shaun Grigg’s reputation as a valuable, consistent performer for Richmond was further enhanced at Etihad Stadium last Saturday night, despite the Tigers suffering a disappointing 67-point loss to St Kilda.

Grigg worked extremely hard right throughout the four quarters in a determined bid to lift the team against the Saints’ domination.

The experienced, hard-running midfielder finished the match with a team-high 29 disposals, eight marks, five inside-50s, three rebound-50s, one goal, nine score involvements, an equal team-high five tackles and a team-high 452 metres gained.

It was the ninth game in-a-row that Grigg has accumulated 20-plus disposals.

You have to go all the way back to Richmond’s Round 6 loss to Adelaide at Adelaide Oval for the last time Grigg didn’t have at least 20 touches in a match. On that occasion, he finished with 17.

He is averaging 24.3 per disposals per game this season and 6.3 marks.

Competition-wide, he is ranked equal third for inside-50 entries with 79, which places him nine behind joint leaders in this category, teammate Dustin Martin and Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield.

Grigg also is ranked 23^rd in the competition for total marks with 94.
