From Griffs' twitter last night...

Ben Griffiths ‏@bgriffo24 - "yeah all good they were just being cautious! "


Let's hope that means he's okay  :pray.

His set play bomb to Maric yesterday was a classic. He is combining his short and long game well and I have to say that, although I would love to have hime at CHF, he could become a game changing CHB.

Love the fella  will be a weapon  when he truly clicks

Absolutely.
The continuity of games this year will be doing him wonders.

I would love to see Griff at CHF.
Imagine running up the ground and kicking goals from 60 out  :bow

Although he is that missing tall in defense right now.. But he is a natural forward and I think he should play there

while different to my own opinion, i can understand people's view that he may be better utilised up forward, but to say he is wasted down back is mind boggling, particularly from someone constantly moaning about needing a tall backman to counter the enemy monster forwards.

His set play bomb to Maric yesterday was a classic. He is combining his short and long game well and I have to say that, although I would love to have hime at CHF, he could become a game changing CHB.

This is how i see it. The idea of a tall option from the kickout that can then bomb the ball into our forward line or hit up a short target with equal aplomb gives me a fat

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."

Yeah I don't think he wasted but I think he would be a lot more beneficial to the team up forward. I do also love his kickouts though !  :bow

we cannot move griffiths out of defense atm.
we need to find someone capable of performing his role before hand.
would really like to see moore join him and rance down back along with dea batchelor and morris. kelvin is only 28 and if he can get back to his best it would be a real bonus.

hopefully astbury can run himself into some form at coburg and come into the team as a forward. if not maybe a straight swap astbury chb griffiths to chf  but we cant do either until astbury is ready.
the only other real option we have is post and he really does seem to be on the outer.

Glad. not injured. Played well. Couldn't afford to lose him. Need him more in the backline than in forward line. Agree the bomb he did against Melbourne was great pitty didn't get a goal out of it just got yet another point

Missed two games now for a "tight calf".  It sounded like Matt Hornsby expected him back earlier in the week. On Talking Tigers, they said, more or less, that he'd be back this week.  Wonder what is really up with him?
