SANFL star and former Crows player Mitch Grigg was one of the players many thought could get a second chance at AFL level this year, but went overlooked in the draft.

While teams also have the chance to sign the 26-year-old under the supplementary selection period, where we’ve already seen Carlton sign VFL gun Michael Gibbons, Grigg has taken his name off the table.

“To be honest, I’d probably turn it down if I got the opportunity (at AFL level) now anyway,” Grigg told SEN Afternoons.

“If I wasn’t good enough before, how could I be good enough now, you know?

“It was disappointing to find out no one was really that interested, but I’m happy, I’ve bought a place with my fiancé and I’m looking forward to the year ahead with Norwood.

“We’re just getting into trial matches in the next few weeks which should be pretty good, but I’m just training hard and keeping fit.”

Grigg played 20 games for Adelaide between 2013 and 2016 and has since returned to Norwood in the SANFL, winning back-to-back Magarey Medals.
