Agree. He is a very good mark. If his consistency improves he will become a very good player.

Heard an interesting Timor today from a guy who is on the know saying that Hawthorn have been in Griffiths ear for some time now and are a very good chance to lure him across.
I for one am certainly keen to see him re signed asap.

You never know with the  Hawks might be inclined to part with their 1st with the right deal.

I'd definitely get rid of him.
It's players like Griff that hold this club back.
He takes some nice marks against Essendon but then goes missing for another few weeks. Same with Vickery. We must move forward from players like these two. We need guys that are at least willing to work hard when they might not be having a great day getting the footy. It's like playing two short most games with these two up forward.
These two epitomise the bad culture of this club IMO. 
Griff is a highlight package and Vickery doesn't know what he has until it's gone.
Another couple of wasted draft picks, let's try and at least upgrade on them while we can.
Vickery to Carlton
Griff to Hawthorn.
Now who else can we get rid of??

I'd move both on too, would add Edwards, Bwandon, Conca and Houli if there was any chance of a good deal in there.
Should be amassing as many early picks and then dangling them in front of clubs to pry an elite player or 2 our way,then worry about the money side of things.

Im of the opinion that you dont trade out bigs that you have put 4 years into and are just starting to see the fruits of keeping them. He and Astbury are both keys to us going forward. Sign them and keep them for me.

What about bigs who we've put 7 years into (almost). Because that's where Griff is at

To me it's who we get to replace him with. If it's a skinny 200cm player who is 18 and have to wait 4 more years to see if he's any good, it is a NO.

If it means we get a Tomlinson and Steele in, it's a yes.

We've invested a lot in Griffiths. The rest of the year will also help with decision making.
