The way we're going we are going to have a team of new recruits!

Because he was looking fat? lol

Surely this means Jack will stay forward while Griffiths runs up the wings to help with the rebounding.

And then I suppose Vickery will be staying in the F50 too.

He couldn't really use his weight anyway. Wrong move imo

[Diocletian]

He needs the stamina to play forward and then run all the way back just to take the kick-ins then run up forward again and also play 2nd/3rd ruck.

Seriously though, like many, I often fall into that "should play on the wing like Richo" trap with certain talls (Riewoldt, McBean, and in particular, Vickery)...until I remember what an absolute freak Richo was athletically and aerobically and that not many blokes his size apart from other freaks like Franklin could probably do what he did in 2008.(and I say that as someone who wasn't a raving Richo fanboy over the journey.)

[Hard Roar Tiger]

He hasn't ever had the stamina to get to enough contests. If this helps him pump the ball inside 50 on more occasions it will increasing our scoring potential

[eliminator]

His ability to take a contested mark is a real strength. The more contests he gets to the better. Would rather Griff play further up the ground than Jack. It opens up the forward line for Jack.

Guaranteed to be a huge success then

Which player from your club will cut a different shape in 2015?

ANOTHER pre-season is coming to an end with footy fans casting their eyes on their favourite stars for the first time over the coming weeks.

With pre-season matches now under way, the NAB Challenge means players will put the weight and running sessions behind them.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the fence, fans will get to see the fruit of their stars’ long, arduous summers — not only with how their players perform but with how they look.

The transformation in players from one season to another can sometimes, especially with youngsters, be pronounced.

SuperFooty has been scouting every AFL club as to which man has made the biggest transformation to his body over the summer.

So here’s who may catch the eye in coming weeks:

RICHMOND — BEN GRIFFITHS

Griffiths started to believe and belong at the top level in 2014, showing he’s more than a one-trick pony. While his booming right leg has wowed the Tiger faithful, footy fans may also notice a leaner key forward this season. The benefit? Look for Griffiths to get up and down the ground in better time and more frequently in 2015, which can only make him a tougher opponent for anyone who crosses him.

The official AFL Season Guide lists Ben Griffiths at 101kg in 2015, as opposed to 102kg a year ago.

[Penelope]

lol a whole 1 kg?

[Diocletian]

Must've had a haircut....

[Penelope]

.....or a good dump

[Andyy]

1kg LMFAO.

Does his mean that nobody put any weight ON?

Seriously if any midfielder put on 1kg it would be proportionally more weight than Griffiths lost and therefore technically a bigger 'change'. Surely somebody like Lennon found a few KG's...?
