Nice hands off his bootlaces to Titch in the last qtr to set up a goal.
One of the bright spots today.
It's that simple Spud

Yep totally agree.   even better game than last week from Big Griff
can clearly recall at least 3 great plays in the last quarter.
- The goal he kicked from 55m out after a good lead and mark.
- the great hands off the bootlaces and quick give to titch to set up the grigg goal as you said.


But by far and away my favourite is actually the least spectacular but is one which you would not be expecting griff to do 3 weeks ago.  In the play which lead to the Jack goal to put us in front, griff went back with the flight of the ball in the centre, created a contest and made 2nd and 3rd efforts on the ground to get his hands on the ball to eventually get to ball out to titch who gave it to conca to set up jack with the goal. 

coming along in leaps and bounds, keep it up griffo.

Continues to impress with second efforts and chasing. His long kicking is a weapon.
Has football smarts.

BBBG, keep up the good work. :cheers

Much better value than Tyrone. :shh

Looking really good in the ruck. Love his second efforts and tackling. Ahead of Vickery by a mile. The kid actually wants to play football. Can't say the same for Ty...

THOUGHT he was really good in the second half, some of his efforts are going unnoticed by the commentators but often they are resulting in pressure that lead to goals for us. Well done to Griff.

not knocking him but the next step for him is to find a bit more ball and stay in games a bit more. still has a long way to go but sheesh compared to previous seasons hes looking okay.

Was reasonably ok in the ruck, far from cementing his spot, he has to be played out of the side to lose his spot and no one is putting up their hand, ...possibly Elton soon

Is better than Hampson in the ruck. Still has a long way to go but has tools.

surprised to see he only had 11 touches, seemed to have far more impact on the game than his stats suggest. Thought he worked into it and did some very nice things in the 2nd half

reckon what you see is him competing and having a go so he seems to be getting bigger stats.  would really like to see him on the lead a bit more and really hitting packs more in the fwd 50.
when ivan comes back he should play chf.

Chrysalis to butterfly. This guy is truly developing.
He and Astbury give some hope.
