Surprised they gave this guy another year when they dropped Post after what I considered to be a promising run of form towards the end of his last year.

Gotta wonder how much time you give these guys, Astbury too.

Hopefully he puts on some muscle and Choco puts some fire in his belly...

Astbury played okay towards end of year. Unfortunately got injured. Need a big year from him but is not a lost cause

[Hard Roar Tiger]

He doesn't run, he lumbers - if he can fix that for starters it will help. From the sounds of things, it's a focus for him this pre season.

Who griffs?

I don't remember tony lockett gliding like a gazelle either

[Coach]

Stop comparing Griff to Lockett FFS. Plugga had more shots at goal per quarter than Griffiths gets touches per season.

[Judge Roughneck]

I know he kicks far but even the like of Griff and plugger will struggle to kick bags from full back

[Coach]

Jayden Post once kicked 5 in a quarter for Coburg. Griffiths has played forward and done SFA at AFL level and VFL level. at 23/24 or however old he is now, it's time to deliver this year.

[Andyy]

Bit of a pity but I doubt he or Astbury will make it at all.

You generally know by this stage. They're fringe players and may serve a back-up purpose if Rance and Chaplin both go down at the start of the season but that's probably it IMO.

[eliminator]

Astbury and Griffiths need to step up this year for sure. Hopefully they will. Some players take longer to develop than others and both players have had injury problems. I am hoping for an injury free season for both. If going to play Griffiths play him up forward. If going to play Astbury play him on a flank not as a key position player.

At 6' 3" or 4" he's too tall and not mobile enough for a flank.

[RFC_Official]

He's definitely been doing more training as a forward/ruck and also saw him doing some work on his own after training yesterday, hoping for great things from the big G.

[Phil Mrakov]

How is he meant to come of age if he won't be getting a game? Who will he force out. Will be delisted at the end of the year or traded for pick 600.
