Ben Griffiths [merged]

Very good but he must takes the marks he flies for or just crash the pack going for the mark instead of trying to fly and missing all together. Very good though.

If Griffiths plays like this every week he will be AA

Had a hand in nearly all our first 5 goals and as such was a big part us staying in the game. Sure he dropped off but still competed hard in the ruck and any marking contests. Hard to critize that performance

spot on ft, as his conditioning improves that 2nd half drop off will become less pronounced

[Andyy]

If he'd just snagged that one shot he missed it would have been the difference for me between a reasonable game and a pretty damned good one.

Can't miss opportunities like that.

[Smokey]

Unbelievable, did anyone notice the good work he did in the ruck as well as his forward work - Oh well OMHO  I thought he played a very good game for a big bloke and made Carlton honest as they  couldn't double team Jack.

Yes I did.

Was good, made contests and puts in 2nd efforts

Was chalk and cheese compared to the effort I would have expected from Vickery.  I reckon he's putting a lot of daylight between himself and Vickery in terms of being first picked for the role and with more continuity and exposure I think he has a lot of upside.

[JVT]

Coincidently his 'drop off' occurred when he had to help out Maric in the ruck later in the game. I reckon as the season progresses, and both Maric and Griffiths become more accustomed to game time and running out matches, we will see him sitting deep for longer and offer up more of what we saw early last night. He'll start to dominate games late as well, is a beast of a bloke.

Barring injury he should be played for all 22 games + finals this year. I don't care if he has the occasional stinker, TV should not be seen over this bloke, ever, period.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I would like him playing exclusively at CHF as that is where he looks most comfortable and where he can have the biggest impact.
I'm still hoping Vickery can be that spare parts kpp which alternates between forward and ruck.

If Griffiths plays like this every week he will be AA

If he plays like that every week he'll kick 70 goals for the year, and I'll tell you what, that would be just about enough for me to turn for him

The daylight between Griff and Vickery is expansive and getting bigger by the game.
Griff has become real important to our structure and a key cog in our wheel.
It's small steps now but the strides are getting bigger by the game little by little for now.
Will have a 5 or 6 goal game this year mark it down.

[TigerMonk]

Played a good game. It will make Vickery perform harder & the battle of the big men will continue. That is exactly what is needed down at Tigerland. Just like the Roach, Cloke, Taylor, Jackson, Lane era of the 80's. Big men win flags 

[Francois Jackson]

is this the time for the haters to come forward or do we wait until mid season.

FWIW i still have hopes for vickery. Anyone know how many years vickery has left?

Vickery is only a young fella who has 7 or more years left

[Zlatan]

who will ruck after maric?

tyrone would be excellent depth if he can be retained 

chances are he will crack the sads if he doesnt play this year much and pee off

[torch]

Good match.

Agree.

Vickery is a ruckman.
