The kid still has plenty of time on his hands, has played more games than Butcher who you could say has had similar issues, I wouldn't be putting a line through him just yet. Lets not forget it took Cotch 2 or 3 seasons to get up and running ;)

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?
His shoulders are the problem.  Defenders are the ones that do the chopping, not the ones getting chopped.  i.e, his shoulders are safer as a defender than as a forward.

He has some amazing strengths to his game. Would be a real shame not to see that talent realised.

Come on Griffo!

So when he is getting crunched as a defender from behing, the side and the front, or having hangers taken on his shoulders.... its better than being out on a lead 10-15 mtrs in front of your opponent???? Or coming over the pack from behind to take a grab????

Agree with Davey, part of his growth, lets hope he does end up forward.

Playing CHF or backline makes you accountable for your opponent and the ball and makes you disciplined. Won't mind him learning that or playing in the backline if that means getting some footy and some confidence in him.

I'll repost the stuff about Griff's knee injury here so it doesn't get lost within the Coburg game thread and it can be updated when we here more after any scans ...


@CoburgFC -  "he was getting some work done on his knee before. no indications of diagnosis or seriousness yet"

@Britt_Shanahan - "Griffiths injured his knee - having it iced."

As for griff a mate close by reckons he heard someone say we will send him for scans Monday.the same mate reckons the ice was applied to the side of the knee which might suggest a medial rather than the more severe cruciate etc

Quote from: SumTingWong
Heard the physio tell Griffiths there was nothing structurally wrong with his knee. Just to ice it and see how it felt when he got home. HE also seemed to roll his ankle in the 2nd quarter but kept playing

Either that or he's made of plastic. He's meant to be the great white hope at CHF for us.

Hopefully his luck will turn. He is a talent. We don't have many in his size!
