FFs even Tigermonk showed more in his career at Bendigo division 5 side with his 40 metre power kicks

Griffiths was always going to be struggling judging by the limited time he spent on the ground due to injury even before coming to Richmond. Injury has a huge impact on your game. Fitness, Timing, Confidence, Awareness, & Mentally. When your fighting with everyone else being a potential KPP in the team can all go against you. His had a lot of bad luck being knocked out. Some he done himself
But its also the fault of the staff around him to prepare him better. Its obvious he can be a AFL player as he has played just under 20 games. He may not be happy playing in the backline ? l always believed he needed to be played & kept at CHF where it would suit him & the team better. It would also give the team another game plan by going to him if needed as CHF is really not a huge part in football this days with ugly boundry line footy.
My overall thoughts is he is 21 years old. We have kept him this long. Give him another year to get him fit & body strong. Put a head guard on him & give him the chances at CHF & get his confidence back to the level he believes in himself. If his shoulders are good you will soon find out, But seriously, Its rubbish someone here saying they know the doctor who done his op & they told him he is ok. Doctors don't tell people about anyone else as it only takes 1 idiot on a public forum to bring him down
Griffiths may survive the cull. We have a Reserves side to build & we need all the luck we can get to push forward. For the young bloke l hope he makes it. Good Luck Griffo but the knife is razor sharp
