Extraordinary that Hartley, Jackson & Richardson are still employed by our club.
They have all done a better job than Dimma.

From what I heard last night, still a long way off. All up to the experts in the field

Even if was given the ok to resume full training and playing would need a least a month of full training to play VFL

I walked away thinking he won't play again this year. Think they will be very conservative with him as they should

My personal view (opinion) hasn't changed and that is he should give the game away. His long term health is the most important thing

No way.

Was at the club yesterday and just passing on what Hardwick told us.

Or would people prefer me not to say anything because I'm happy to oblige?

Concussion issues could not have come at a worse time.
If he played every game there would be no defending the spud for what he is a spud.

Griff was injury prone throughout his junior years. It's not his fault we selected him, it is ours. We have a duty of care to retire him regardless of his worth as a player.

In hindsight Fyfe could've been a handy pickup.  :lol

But let's give our recruiting team a contract extension for participating.  :clapping :rollin
