Now if only he could get a kick

He will be better than Royce Hart, so how about being positive and dropping the attitude?
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

have said it a few times now. hes the most overhyped player ive seen at richmond in a while.all this love for a player who to date has done zilch nought nothing.
i liked carlisle and black as talls better than him and for now i will stick to that. have said a few times also with that pick i would have taken bastinac.

I reckon he's got a Deledio + Mick Molloy going about his whole head.

Agree has had a bit of hype but there have been far bigger hypes than Griffiths.

Tambling for one. Nathan Brown was the messiah when he came to the club. Lets not forget Ben Cousins.

Anyone with potential rightly has anticipation from fans hanging off them, its been happening for decades and will continue to do so.

Hope Benny plays injury free this year.
Go Tigers!

He looks fat
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He has shown glimpses but looks the goods.

Not hard to get excited about at 6ft 7 kpp who can mark, kick, chase down tackle and shows Footy smarts.

It's okay to look forward, the game is as much about the potential as it's about the end result, ask a cats supporter

By 'most overhyped player ive seen at richmond in a while', I guess you mean a short while.

The way I see it, Griffiths has fallen off the radar with the emergence of Vickery as a power forward.
He's got some work to do to make an impact at AFL level.

BTW I too was an advocate for Bastinac but wish Big Ben lots of luck. He's got the tools.

Here we go...Griffs turn, he has been injured since he came to the club, never had a decent preseason or continuity regarding games played......write him off.......

Good luck Maric and Morris, like I said during trade week, better perform or yor threads will change into this!!!!! :banghead

I reckon this kid will be one of the power forwards in the comp in 2-3 years if he can get that shoulder right and a few preseasons. He plays better than Edwards does now and he hasnt been on the park.... :lol
