Chappy snaffled griffs spot, don't worry he ll find a home, certainly no shame in failing to break into the RFC dream team defense in 2013 :shh... #walkupstartanywhereelse

Yeah

Let's play the former top  five rated draft pick, natural full forward, comparison in junior to Tony Lockett...

Only in defense

 Or better yet don't play him in favor mcgaunr/Edwards/orren

 :clapping

Whoops I forgot. Can't play youth. We are  finals team  :clapping

Even took em months to play Michael Voss aka vlastuin

Totally agree with you.  Never got a decent chance up forward in the seniors.  When he did in his first year he looked like he could be anything.

 :clapping agree
Couldn't agree less, showed absolutely nothing nowhere

His shoulders are fine.  I know the surgeon who fixed them. He told me they are great now.

H played back half of vfl season at ff and would have been lucky to get a kick walking through the Bart Cummings stable...Mcbean and Elton are that far ahead it isn't funny, lucky we are blessed with gilt edged talls, we should get a sec rounder for him, bare n mind if we were as useless as st kilda he would have played 22 games, diff story trying to break into side that wins 15 :shh

i sort of agree with the sentiments. but geez he couldnt vget a kick at coburg his form says he could not get a kick in a footy factory. even when playing seniors he struggled to find the ball.

as juniors you stay on a list by actually improving simply put hes shown nothing. good on the club for making the call. cant have it both ways. we growl because they hang onto players for too long. and we growl when they make a decision after 4 ys on a playuer who has not done a thing.

my only concern is hes just 22. for a 200cm player that is very young it could take another two yrs before he shows something. but that is the only concern.
well done richmond.

based on time at the club and performances the following like  griffiths have to be in the gun. im not talking about strengths and weaknesses here.
astbury
batchelor
darrou
dea
derickx
edwards
elton
grigg
helbig
king
lonergan
mcguane
nahas
ohanlon
petterd
stephenson
verrier
would it really surprise anyone to see any of these p[layers delisted or offered up for trade in the hope of getting something for them. theres others i could name but wont as it will only detract from the  question  being asked.

As I posted before.  Look at his seventh AFL game.  That is more than many of our players have shown in their career!

I guess it depends what you really expect to get for them. Elton is a tall, shown a little in VFL and is still young (only 20). Deserved 4 years if Griff does  :lol

That's all his ever done, had to move in to backline to take kick outs because he never got a kick after that. 3 marks in 4 years ain't good enough
