Doc Larkins reckons Griffs could still play this week with strapping on the crook shoulder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richmond forward Ben Griffiths was substituted out of the Tigers' win over Greater Western Sydney in the third quarter on Saturday after suffering a partial dislocation, or subluxation, of his shoulder.

Larkins said Griffiths had been carrying a shoulder problem for some time and should be not be sidelined by Saturday's injury.

“It's a condition that Richmond knows about. They might do some extra scans to see if he's done any additional damage but it's likely he'll be able to continue playing with strapping," Larkins said.

In Newmans press conference it sounded like big Ben will have a few weeks off with his shoulder :thumbsdown

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Rate the following scenarios from "best case" to "worst case":

A)WADA appeal succeeds.

B)WADA appeal fails but we trade Griffiths for Carlisle.

C)WADA appeal succeeds after we trade Griffiths for Carlisle.

D)WADA appeal fails but we don't trade Griffiths for Carlisle.

Doc Larkins said the Tigers might have to put Griffiths in for a major operation later this year.

"Griffiths had a subluxation of his shoulder and had a minor clean-up, they didn't do a reco of his shoulder. It is quite an unusual operation to do that," Larkins said.

"But it means they were happy for him not to have the full reco which would have seen him miss three months. They're going to see how he trains over the next three weeks with a view to playing, maybe they need a bigger job at the end of the year.”
