Shows he can play at this level. Needs to be consistent. Played a good game. Clearly benefited from quicker delivery into forward line

Top 10 pick?
:cheers
Even Cleave Hughes had one decent game.
I'm not getting too excited just yet.
I recon there wouldn't be many on here that wanted him in the side, including his biggest fan YBB.
You're right bt. Loved his performance last night but he needs to do this many more times to win me back.
He is the biggest tease down at the club. 200cm . Kicks 60m drop punts with ease. A very good hand baller for his size. Can take a grab.
However, he doesn't do it anywhere near enough. And that's an understatement!!!!!

At least DH gave him the forward line and gave him a chance though. Would like that forward set up a bit more in the future. Maybe this game will give him self belief. :cheers

Best game last night for the helmeted one but can he continue to play at that level or will we see a return to softer stuff?

Confidence player. Usually he looks shot, doesn't trust his own hands marking or his own foot to kick. Last night after a few cheap touches he started to believe he could actually do it and was attacking packs and pulled a couple down. Hopefully he doesn't go back into his shell after another bad game.

Hopefully this is the game he needs to play with confidence.

Agree totally. Obviously belief is something our footy department are poor at instilling. That and a game plan that utilises the strengths in the team.
It's as if we need a Rudi Webster type back at the club. :whistle

Super stuff Benny G helmet man!

Few pretty silly recent posts recently. Needs to string a few top games together now!
He's deserves every post he gets that includes all the critical ones and all the praise he will get after tonight's performance. He's been a bloody disappointment and tonight performance showed us why. He needs to atleast try to maintain this level as a standard every week.

X 2

Benefited from a couple of cheap frees that got his confidence up. Still don't think he's strong enough 1 v 1 but he looks much better on the lead at the moment.

Credit to him was very good for the last 2.5 quarters last night

Just goes to show you don't need 22 superstars to win it. Coaches like Malthouse when he was at Collingwood, Clarkson, even Longmire manage to get that out of their plodders and second tier almost every week.

Well about time Griffiths showed what he can do on the big stage. Bring it every week from this point forward :thumbsup

Interesting how a win suddenly changes everything about your list.

Maybe Griffiths is worth it after all. Plays like this for the rest of the year, BEllis finds more contested footy, Cotchin to come back in, Conca to find his 2013 form and start playing well, Yarran to start killing it off the half back, Vlastuin to start getting more gametime in the middle and be that hard contested body we've needed the whole time.

I dunno. Last night was definitely a tease. He was the player we've all been praying for but if he does that for the rest of the year, maybe he's worth a top 10 pick but I'd sure as hell be wanting to keep him.
