Had something off the field that upset him this year which is his business
Is that legit? If so, would explain why he's been so bad. Rance obviously had his off-field issue and as soon as it was sorted he started playing well the very next day. Hopefully big Griffo can turn it around.

As mentioned in the Coburg thread, Griffiths copped another hit to the head and went off with concussion.

Here I was thinking he could play CHF against the Hawks if Vickery is out. Then I find out he's been injured again.  :banghead

Is it too much to ask to leave Griffo for 6 weeks at full forward when he is fit?

Even @ Coburg ffs

No we're not. McBean is contracted and Edwards will not get a gig at another AFL club.

Aaron must be delisted. Clearly not up to AFL standard. Blocking the way of promising kids at both AFL and VFL level.
Now, maybe he will kick a bag against a GWS. but can he do it vs a top four team?  :cheers ;)

Coburg key forward set up should be:

Code: [Select]
HF - OHanlon. Elton. McBean.
FF - x - Griffiths - x

If McGaune has someone looking at him must be traded for list management reasoning, surely...

McGaune is good at forward line pressure but hes not a good footballer. Cant see us being a top 4 side as Lukas the the CHF or FF. Would love to be wrong but the development of Elton, Griffiths, McBean is at stage, each potentially a proper AFL standard forward.

Jack is a good players and we must find the best forward line set up. Seeing as we will be playing final it will not happen until next year.

Rumour on BF that the Saints are interested in Griffs.

This is at odds with what Dan Richardson said on 3aw on the weekend before the Giants game. He said we would continue to develop Griffs over the next 12-18 months.

just because we want to keep developing him doesnt mean that someone else would not be interested in him
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
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."
