Had important touches, has pace and showed poise and vision - clearly shows why they have big raps.  Must continue to play, we need his size down back.

He's athletic so he can keep up with any of the opposition tall forwards on the lead and his height enables him to get his hand in to spoil either the lead or in a wrestling situation. The bonus is playing in defence on the best forwards will also educate further about forward line play so he could eventually be switched forward mid-game if need be for tactical reasons or say when Grimes comes back and we don't need 3 tall defenders against sides with small forward lines.

I was amazed at his  kicking accuraccy he is going to be a hard match up for opposition sides if he continues to stick around  at senior level  can play anywhere down the spine imo

Bloke is 2m tall and can kick half the ground. Bit.of weapon.

With griff. Vickery. Imaric. We are no longer a small side. More so if we get grimes back.

Astbury i hope knocks at the door. If coburg ever play again

was great to see him get through the game again. Can roost the ball but they were ready for it when he did & Kosy was there to meet the ball. That type of football turns the ball over & cant be a tactic unless you have players contesting & players at the back. Played a important role none the less.

yeah, the saints were definately ready for that long kickout. They didn't persist with it, which was good to see
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Solid game Griff  :clapping

A mate reckons we haven't EVER lost a game when Griff has played. I thought we may have lost 1 or 2 in previous years....

Gee he has really taken the chance given to him, with Grimes coming back Newy and Batch could drift up the ground more easily...even Rance!!!!!

Has played 10 games in 3 seasons and we have won every game.  Woops, reread my source and should read won 6, lost 4.   :-[

Well done Ben Griffiths  (old Whitefriars Boy) , - Got the body right and got to showthat he has the ability to match it with the best ( Hawthorn and StKilda hav aurably the best key forwards)

Cant wait to see Grimes in there as well!!

I can see Whitefriars must be strong in English and grammar! Not sure where Grimes will play now Griff has made CHB his own.

its all about getting continous games into him  now.
lets see what happens when Grimes comes back.
