Bloke leaped at everything and took good contested grabs. Can't wait until he kicks a bag!

Must persist with him.

Geez, just watched the reply and saw all his contested marks. He is finally showing something. Few marks where I thought, geeh I havent seen a big man do that for richmond for a while. If he keeps attacking the ball like this and improving he could easily get better than Vickery and maybe even take his spot. He has nice foot skills too for a big guy ( and a much better than attitude than Vickery from what I have seen )

reminded me a little bitof when brendon gale first went from CHF to play in the ruck and then started taking some nice grabs around the ground and then became a really good player taking grabs around the ground. needs to keep up the hard work. griff has the tools to succeed.

I think he has been really impressive and is growing in confidence. His role is obviously as a link player pushing up the wings but I'm like most here and would love to see him begin to take some grab closer to goal. At the moment I think he is trying to play his role and not get in the way of Jack or Ty around the F50. Was also good in the ruck too.

Has a lot of upside this lad. Just wondering what will happen to him once Maric returns......?

Just read he laid another 5 tackles. If I'm not mistaken Cotchin didn't lay any. Busting his ass for change  :thumbsup

I the belief keep growing it won't be long.

Can't ignore he crucial marks in defence either.

Hope we've been in touch again with his manager because other clubs will be.

good questions Stripes - cant see tham playing Maric, Hampson, Vickery and Griffiths - one may miss out - could be Hampson and use Griff as a chop out ruckman.

Intersting dilemma for match committee to have.

Always liked the Griff, would like to see him go the hoof a bit more instead of the dinky chip kicks though, he can kick long and accurate but seems to be kicking 'handballs' after taking nice grabs for some reason, I mean stuff, he has a boot like a gazelles hoof with a steel trap on it ffs!

Club needs to be smart right about now and give the young man a 2 year extension to his contract. He is coming along in leaps and bounds and we are seeing big signs. Well done to the young bloke.  :clapping
