I watched the entire game apart from drop outs.

It was griffs best game by far. The man has a sudden bout of self belief.

Contested mRks in the fwd line and plenty of good work in the ruck. Ruckwork is already ahead of Vickery and stephenson

:o na change that to  ::) your kidding aint ya. actually if hes spending time in the ruck c/ps will go up a fair bit.
just two questions.
1/ is he imposing himself on contests
2/ is he taking contested marks
anyway good to see hes really having a dip and good on him.  you never know.
still i will reserve judgement for the real stuff and when i actually see him play.

not hard to be in front of vickery when it comes to ruck work. for that matter i dont think it would be too hard to jump past him as a kpf. cmon griffo cmon.

Watched big Benny up close today. Thought that he was one of our best. Good forward and back and very handy in yhe ruck.
agree he was good both forward and back although I thought he was quiet early but went back and took a couple of strong grabs which seemed to lift his confidence.
showed that he can influence a game from both ends with goals when forward as well strong defensive grabs and then giving drive with his kicking from the back line. how good was that 70m kick from half back to martin who then found jack for a goal?

still a way to go , but the signs are a bit more promising now.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Well maybe the lightbulb has finally clicked in the coaching team and they will leave him in the forward line.

Funny cause he's spending a fair amount of time rucking and it's finally switched

i understand they have been trying him in the ruck. bit of a worry playing a bloke who runs from contact and is always injured in the most confronting position on the ground.

Where did you hear this claw? Interesting if this eventuates. With his height and leap he could make a great forward/ruck but as you say he is incredibly injury prone.  :-\ Hope he steps up this year and carves out a spot forward. I always imaged him as a CHF using that hoof of his to kick 60m goals and launching it into the forwardline from the wing.


Playing him in the ruck might at least force him to learn how to contest, if nothing else.

Looked better than Hampson in the ruck.
If he stays in injury free he could have a big year.

Never lost faith. Couldnt be bothered going back and finding post saying that our improvement this year will come from the likes of Big Ben (and a couple of others). Like it or not guys but he is one of the Keys to us taking the next step.
