saw him cathcing balls on the recent training vid. looked ripped and upbeat. Not sure if he's back to full training yet tho.
Would love to see him play Geelong in the last nab game.

Thanks Willy, sounds good, hopefully his shoulder has come good.

Would also like to see him play a game or two before the season, provided he is up to it.

MM I imagine you linked us to this thread to remind everyone of the moment TBR and I fell for each other.

Ben Griffiths resumed from a hip injury when he played in defence in the VFL last weekend. Recruited as a key forward, where he has played nine games in his first two injury riddled seasons, Griffiths is being groomed as a key defender, but will have to start the new season working his way up from the second-tier competition.

 Can't understand why we would recruit him as a forward then without trying him there for any period of time he is now considered a back man and his shoulders have not even been tested yet.

FFS, what is the story?

Must admit, I would love to see him take the kick ou duties in the seniors. He could kick the ball to the centre and break the defensive zones of the opposition teams.

Chill old boy. Would be handy to teach him how to play down back. Will be a key forward in the long run

If Ben Griffiths can get the body right, so he can get a good run at it, he be a very good player for Ricmond.

You dont lose your ability and from what I've seen he is quick, good below his knees, spring heeled with good hands. brave and can kick 70 metres. Big blokes always seem to take a bit longer and I cant really think of any that have domininated in their first or second season.

It must be a hard / disapointing to suffer set backs in your development but blokes like Cotchin kept at it and even when Richo was still around they rated Jack below a C grade bit is now very good.

Have to say 2 or 3 years on from drafting this guy, as much as I hope he succeeds it looks like he wont due to injuries.

Massive question marks over injuries and his body before being drafted, and to date nothing but ongoing injury problems.

Looks like a failed roll of the dice by the club for selecting him.
