And there we go with the old he's poo but better than another poo player argument

FFS no wonder we have wallowed in the pits of mediocrity for the last 35 years

I actually think Elton has a chance as a forward, I don't think he will be Wayne Carey but he is a good size, agile and is a very good mark. And if he was well coached and given a decent crack at it, I think he would be ok as a third tall.

I just think it is more stupid to go with someone we already know hasn't got the balls for it.

The trouble is, Griff actually can ruck a bit. Elton can't. They really need to give Elton a decent crack at it at senior level this year. Why have him on the list if you are never going to play him?
The club has never developed Griff properly. He was better early on when he was bigger. They made him thinner and thus with more aerobic capacity but then robbed him of strength which was tied to his bulk. Add to that a paper mâché body that got injured frequently and mental weakness and you end up with the player we have now.

Brad Miller and Aaron Edwards were more consistant than Griff.

5 years, 4 games.  I hope your right but this kid has Paddy Steinfort written all over him

When it comes to debating the merits of Elton, all i say is, if he gets the boot at the end of the year, after we persisted for so long, then I want those at the helm who persisted with him, to following him out...pretty simple

Upgrade Soldo or Chol ASAP please....hell - can Elton ruck?

Unfortunately his ability (and I use he term loosely) to play second ruck wlll keep him in the side for far longer than it should.

How many times did he engage in a wrestle while the footy was in the air to not even get his hands out to try and mark it. He was WOG for me.

Hunt was worse. But griff was poor. Again. 8 years in the system. Tic toc

[Chuck17]

One of Astbury or Griffiths have to go for Elton, probably wont be any better but cant do much worse until we restock our KP players

TheBigGirlGriff was outmuscled and outplayed for most of the game.
I liked it when he was beaten and then got up and limped......Classic BigGirlGriff.

t@s on a bull is Griff.

Graham on the LTIL.

Time to get somebody else to replace Griff and Astbury.

Chol, Elton, anybody. Heck even C Moore I'd give a shot.

[the claw]

I see more of the same which when push comes to shove amounts to very little from this bloke ah well with no other options i suppose we are stuck with hi.
Personally we would be better off getting games into all three of Chol, Moore and Elton pee pip squeak off and play two of the others lets at least start looking for an alternative who cares if they dont work out they can hardly do worse than the current pea heart.

[Francois Jackson]

The biggest spud this bloke. Made vickery look like an actual footballer.

[Owl]

lets not go nuts
He stuck some marks in a pack.  When did Vickery ever do that? LOL
