Ben Griffiths [merged]

Going to stick my neck out here. Does anybody else think that it is time for Griff to play in the Ruck with the view of a long term forward ruck role?

He is 200cm which is the same as Maric and Vickery but he is heavier. One strenth he has over the other two is his leap. His shoulders are fine now why not try it? We are getting smashed in the ruck every week so we need to try something. He is not a defender clearly so why not re-invent him.

Are his shoulders fine though? Quite often they never come back the same

No he is doing fine at Coburg.
He might be a backline player in 2020.
Why stifle his development on that and play him in pea heart Vickery's role?

Bump

[crackertiger]

Got to be worth a try in the ruck. Honestly Stephenson and Derickx aren't up to it.

[Rampstar]

This is simple.

Kick Jack out of Full Forward and stick him at Centre Half Forward
Stick Griffiths in the Full Forward Spot and
Vickery can play the third tall role.

End.

[Chuck17]

We need a new whipping boy lets get chicken wings in da side

[WA Tiger]

PUT GRIFF FORWARD FOR 6 WEEKS..FFS HARDWICK!

[Tigeritis™©®]

But we play A. Edwards. 

And we wonder why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

[WA Tiger]

Griff could make us look like a laughing stock again if he is traded, fair dinkum he needs a decent crack at it, then at least we will see.

[big tone]

The worst bit about this is, although Griff is young and can kick a country mile, he hasent got much else. A. Edwards is older and likes a beer to much but he is a much better player than Griff.
Forward, back, at the moment he is VFL standard, sorry to say. Don't think he has improved in his 3 years at the club.
How bad must DH rate him if he cannot even get a game in our side, let alone a forwardline that is non existent..
Earn your spot for your ability not your age bracket.
Don't even get me started on Astbury.

BT, we wouldn't really know how much Griff has mate at FF, we haven't had the balls to play him there long enough. Sydney will though......

If Sydney get their grubby mits on Griff then they will make him a star and Richmond FC will have no one else to blame but themselves.

WTF has happened over the last 12 months - Petterd, Edwards, Stephenson, Lonergan etc etc etc. Its all rubbish. Richmond never learns its just Recycle Recycle Recycle. Just so that afew people can say they did a job and found a moneyball recruit. As Tucker likes to say - MALAKIES!

They have Tippett and Sam Reid.
Griff will be an excess.
Perfect fit for Brisbane as help to an ageing Brown and deal in something like Polec or Rich.

I bet my left nut - if griffo goes Sydney he will kill it.
