Grigg's game is built off her defensive attributes, and supported by one of the more well-rounded athletic profiles. Her tackling pressure is a non-negotiable in each and every match, and while it can sometimes lead her into trouble - such as conceding free kicks - she will throw everything into stopping the opposition in their tracks.

At SANFL Women's level, Grigg moved from North Adelaide to Central District over the off-season, to play for the club that her grandfather is a long-time patron at. In turn, she became the only back-to-back SANFLW premiership play for the 2022 to 2023 seasons, including a typical 15-disposal, 15-tackle game in the premiership win over South Adelaide.

Grigg laid five or more tackles in all bar one of her games at SANFLW level this season, recording eight or more tackles in nine of her 14 matches. Given she is a lightly built player, it is more impressive the tenacious utility is not afraid to put her body on the line and worry the opposition whenever she is closing them down.

Her defensive pressure is helped by a combination of explosive speed, and elite agility and endurance. In the preseason testing, the South Australian young gun rated elite across the country for speed, agility and endurance. Her agility in particular was the shining light, cracking in for an incredible 8.472 seconds, second overall in the nation.

Naturally with the athletic base and the defensive mindset, Grigg is a coaches dream. She will play any role, be it up forward, on the wing, or in the middle, all of which she has plied her trade at over the journey. Few players have the speed and agility that Grigg has, while also having that high endurance base too.

With all this in mind, there are areas that Grigg still needs to polish up. In particular her decision making and kicking consistency is still aspects that can further grow and improve. She can find herself rushing and sometimes blazing away. Though an unselfish player, sometimes inside 50 that can lead to an extra handball or extra kick that is not needed, or when in the midfield, rushing a quick kick forward with opposition numbers rather than the release handball.

That being said, these areas are not uncommon for players who have come a long way in a short space of time. Grigg has natural talent, can play as a pressure forward, or roll into the midfield and add that element as well. She finds enough of the ball to suggest she can win her fair share when given the opportunity, and Grigg will always make opportunities for herself with her defensive pressure.

Currently ranked inside the Top 10 of our Power Rankings, the AFLW Academy member is a special talent with enormous upside. She is not the complete package just yet, but her highlights package - which is a combination of run-down tackles or evading multiple opponents - is just as impressive as any high-flying mark or incredible goal. She is one to watch for the future.
