Australian punter Haggerty could be secret weapon in Grey Cup for Argos

John Haggerty is an Australian-born punter who plays for Toronto Argonauts in the Grey Cup. He finished second in CFL punting with a 48.178-yard average. The weather is cold and windy. Winnipeg is looking for a third consecutive championship.  Janarion Grant returned 63 punts for 817 yards with two touchdowns this season. It's -1 C at the start of the day and -9 C by evening. Haggerty expects to use spiral punters when booting into the wind. If his Aussie kicks fall short, he will be able to run downfield and recover the football.
