ok on topic.  and calling it as it is.

whats he done to date. stuff all.
to date hes been a hack  hes lucky to be on the list.  lol at all the joy over a praccie match.
lets see when the real stuff begins if this hack can improve. and he better improve or he will be gonski.

Was it not only a couple days ago you said

My mate has a theory 200cms are not sposed to come good until 24

and that has exactly what to do with what ive said here.
its a theory  about blokes clicking at 24 it also means they should show something as they go.its a guide and it should be used with common sense and in conjunction with all other factors. its not there to justify backing in blokes who have shown nothing over 4 yrs..

besides im over having to justify my comments on here. you can  either take em as they are meant, or  read into em what you like as is the wont of posters around here.. theres also the option to ignore em alltogether i dont care.

me i wouldt be defending  a bloke who in 4 yrs has done virtually nothing,  with little or no improvement. to date hes been a hack struggling to get a kick at coburg.  not sure what you think is wrong with that comment. its a fact. and yes im cynical about praccie match form.

truth is with what hes shown hes lucky to survive  the cut this yr.  they did shop him around and there was no takers.

if i had one word to sum up his career to date it would be dud/ or hack. and he damn well better show some decent improvement  and consistency if he wants to survive.

He is save for at least two more years regardless, remember?

Hugely important if we are going to take the next step and be a top four side.  Both Griffiths and Elton fall into that category so I hope they both come along….

I cut him some slack because although he's been on the list 4 years, he was injured for the first 18 months. Shoulder recos take a while to get over. Can't show much when you're not on the park

Also played mainly in the backline and I think he is a more natural forward and that's where his heart is and where he wants to play. Seems he's got his chance now so it's up to him to grab it.

My observation is that he lacks confidence, he needs to take them on, has plenty of talent 2014 is Big Benny G's year....... Go for it mate....

Over to you, big Ben...

He just needs to grow the stuff up... But so do a lot of them. Jacky, Vicky....

[Diocletian]

Griffiths' need to grow down, not up....

[Stripes]

Griff has gone missing at times in the past so having him play for periods in the ruck will be great for his confidence and force him into the action where his speed, leap and boot can be a weapon. I'm not expecting a massive amount from him up forward for his first game but hope he can outscore the opposition in the ruck and around the ground. I have high hopes. Keep up the preseason for Griffo!

So our medical staff played him injured during his first season did they? FMD. Did Chutney tell you that.

Where did I say the medics played him injured 

 I didn't . Claw said he'd shown nothing in 4 years

Just pointed out He had shoulder surgery during his first season. A Shoulder reco and then the other one the following year

So considering he didn't play much in his the first couple of years because of injury, I don't buy the "he's shown nothing in 4 years"

As I said bit hard to show anything when you're not able to get the park

You said he was injured for the first 18 months. He played football for Coburg and Richmond in his first season. Therefore you think the medical team said he could play even though he was injured. If he was injured 'for the first 18 months' then he shouldn't have played or trained.
