griff got a game and he hadnt done much you can argue all you like over that but thems the facts.
if we can give big ben a game  give others a go as well especially when we get insipid performances week in week out from players. thats all ive said  arnot was one i wanted them to give a game to. ohanlin has hardly torn it up for weeks on end yet look what happens when they surround him with some decent players and give him a game he performs. elton post astbury dericks   just play em when fit like griffiths they will give a bit.
i have repeatedly said i dont have a problem with them gifting griffiths a game   just that i wish they would do the same with others. but that goes against what people think on here they prefer to see players like vickery stink it up week after week and make the others earn a game at coburg. has anyone seen coburg play bloody hell cotchin would struggle to dominate week after week they are terrible.

fine people dont think he was gifted a game but thats all we arguing here its not worth getting your knickers in a knot ladies. you can keep the attitude of they dont get things wrong at richmond.

just to finish ive also said and asked shouldnt they be giving those who have played well a game as well webberley is one who comes to mind how many times has graham been in the best players the last 6 weeks.  matt white is another  what do all of the players think when they see these blokes never being given a chance.

but why do i bother it seems you lot dont want contemplate the novel idea that just perhaps they have got some things wrong.

im sick to death of hearing the excuse that we dont have options well we bloody do we just choose to persevere with hacks and you lot defend em to the hilt.

You complain about Griffiths being gifted a game because we had no choice, but then want other people to be gifted. Difference is we had an injury therefore no choice. And when griffiths has played his been ok, maybe when Derickx elton or post do something they will get a chance, not likely due to injury becuase we have Miller.

l'm happy that Griffiths body is holding up to AFL at present & he is giving some value to the club by being out there playing football. As l said before l dont like injured players hanging around the club giving nothing back & then being delisted several years down the track. This pushes us backwards. Why he was not pushed into CHF against Adelaide stumps me. Lets hope he continues to get games into him & a injury free full pre-season.

Good that he's finally getting some games into him and not having any interruptions.

He did a good job on Tippet.

Needs to bomb it 70 metres from the kick in more often.

He should be practicing it at training over and over.

He should just line up the big sticks on the kick out I reckon, make our life easy haha!  :cheers

He needs to break away (has good pace) and deliver it past defensive zones.

Great another injury  :-\. Let's hope it isn't a bad one  :pray. Dimma doesn't think it's too bad so let's hope he is right.

Using Griffs' ability to bang it almost to the centre circles from the full-back kick-in is a handy weapon provided we use it sparingly so opposition sides aren't prepared for it. Worked a treat again today.

Pity Edwards didn't run another ten metres and break the record of Dusty's goal against Hawthorn.
