Yes me too.
From the little I have seen of Moore he has a pretty big upside. He is althetic, quick, really good hands and seems to know how to get the footy. It's unfortunate that he got injured earlier in the year otherwise I think he would have been given the opportunity to play that second forward role. He is probably still a couple of decent twos games from getting that opportunity now.

Yep agreed. Exciting prospect and would love him to get some gametime this year.

“Ben was really good. Got through a half, kicked a couple of goals, and looked really lively, too,” Hardwick said.

“He looked a class above VFL level, which was really important for both Ben, and us, as well . . .

“It’s really exciting that he’ll come back into our mix at some stage.

“He’ll play again this week.

“He’s probably a game or two away (from a senior return), but he’s back playing, which is a real positive for him and us.

“We’re really excited for him.”

Vision of Griff's game:

VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2017-07-17/vfl-r13-griffiths-return

Unlike most here I rate big Ben but on that vision he looks a bit tentative and has a long way to go. Still its good to see him back on the ground , it would be awesome to have another tall forward option as we have really missed that.

The opponent looked half his size.

I'm surprised he didn't no get concussion when all his teammates were congratulating him.

His opponent was highly rated Sam Durdin 198cm 95kg pick 16 2004 draft. Also played minutes on Hanson and towelled them both up.

Thanks for the clarification because I didn't see the game I was only going by the vision shown.  :thumbsup

No problems...interesting to note Elton also beat Durdin in some one on ones in the second half. Like most of the team he looked above the level.

he definitely was not tentative, flew for a mark in the first that saw him sail over the pack & just fail to haul it in

He mustn't be to highly rated if he is still playing twos after being drafted 13 years ago??
