Griffiths

Sometimes I get excited about what Griffiths might add to the team, but, generally, I remain disappointed in his output and contribution.
If a suitable offer/trade is presented to RFC at season's end then it must surely be seriously considered.
But probably stays on the list if Vickery moves on.

Incorrect. I understand what you are saying. I just don't agree with it.

If you spend a lot of time on the ground playing mainly CHF with stints in the ruck then you should be able to get more than 6 possessions and have a much more substantial impact on the contest than Ben did on Friday night.
The above comment shows that you don't have a grasp of what I am saying.
 
This explains how The Grifter thinks he is smaller than Jayden Short.

If a club came knocking at trade week, I would off load him.. So unreliable. Too inconsistent. Injury prone.
Properly the worse big man in the comp

Did a quick google search for the simple Definition of bait.

Would've been nice too see a big bloke taking some contested marks today, pity our one faints running through the banner
 
61 games in 7 years
42 goals in 7 years.
Ave.3.5 marks a game
Ave 1.1 contested marks

Get rid of this Cat.

Not even the worst big man at Richmond. Gee you talk some rubbish.
 
Griffiths needs to be persevered with in a side without Vickery. Don't underestimate how Vickery's opponent always drops off to be third man into any contest involving Jack, Griffiths or anyone else. That's how little respect Vickery gets.

His out with a bruised finger, he should be back for his one good gane a year next year.
His *smile*
 
Another year. Another stop start season interrupted by injury & form.

If he's the answer to anything we are asking the wrong questions.

Apprantly he is out for 3 weeks ::)
Are we in the finals??

You seriously believe players choose to be injured do you, Zips. It's such a joy for them?

His sh!t

He can kick like a mule but all he does is chip chip chip

What's wrong with the bloke?
 
My view is that like all tall forwards he would really benefit from the ball being moved quicker into the forward line. His size and athleticism make him a very hard match up.

Left too often flying for marks whilst static with 6 blokes around him

He is a victim of the slow ball movement.

Yes a victim of Hardwicks game plan. Who would believe!

His kicking has been handbraked. Didn't you know Dimma reckons a goal from 3 x 20m chip kicks completed by a guy on an acute angle in the forward pocket (and this works 5% of attempts) is worth 9 pts. Whereas game-breaking 60m goals are still only worth 6 pts.

Might have got those NAB rules mixed up.
 
I am kicking myself but I agree with ST.

The players are drilled to not kick down the line to a contest and because we always have slow ball movement he has no choice but to chip.

When he is deep he has 3-4 opposition around him because we are so slow at getting the ball in the defenders get back.

Wayne Carey would struggle up forward for us
