Let's be honest it's not that Griffiths has been that great, in fact he was pretty poor last week against the Hawks.
It's purely that others have had shocking seasons. Week after week, game after game and are still in the side.

I feel for the young bloke a bit was finally getting a run at it but has been dropped again.
Hope he's got some skata in him and has a blinder in the VFL and says FU Dimma.
Let's see..

Or he just goes stuff it what's the point.  :whistle

But agree that the frustrating part is that he can play one bad game and get dropped whilst others have thrown in 6 and don't even look like getting the arse.

Well if he does that it would be disappointing from him.

Crazy thing is that the Hawks were clearly the best side we have played so far this year and the delivery i50 by our 'talented' midfield was a combination of bombs and helicopters. Hard for any key forward to have much impact but I hope Griff had a good hard look at how hard Jack worked cause that's where he needs to be.

The Hawks had a picnic running the ball out of the back half and cleared the footy with ease.
I often saw Ben trotting away from the contest in no man's land which has been a problem in the past.
Too often where the ball isn't and not focussed enough on trapping the ball in..
He and Dusty were criminal in this regard. Very poor defensively.

They can't let the Cats do the same so somehow have to restructure the forward line but Vickery is not the answer either..

If he has a stinker on Sunday, will he be dropped again?

Chaplin, Petterd and S. Edwards should have been dropped before Griffiths, Grimes and Arnott.

No one was chasing last week Jacko. Putting together the whole season for Griff so far, I think he has been hard done by. There have been others who have been crap all season.

Wondering whether as a result of your Griffiths, Arnots etc getting dropped when they clearly see teammates performing poorly but still getting rewarded its the crux of the culture issue with discontent amongst the squad. I know in a work situation you then are happy to see the "golden boys" fail which really isn't an ideal environment in a team situation
