Best forwards cannot be compared to best MIDs.

Got it.

people  in this thread have sort of hung their hats on contested marks with this bloke and yep hes taken more than riewoldt and vickery.
but i can tell ya as far as marks inside 50 goes riewoldt up to tonights game had taken 43 vickery who we really criticise had taken 14 and griffiths 11.
riewoldt had double the marks 1/50 of the other two combined.
when it comes to contested marks griffiths 16 had taken  one more than jack with 15. thing i ask is  where is most of griffiths contested marks being taken. id say few have been in the f/50.
to me griffiths has done okay as a back up ruckman but really struggled when forward hes struggled as much as vickery imo.
imo i dont think either vickery or griffiths are the answer fwd  both have been ordinary.and would like to see the club organise the list accordingly.

even though we have 5 potential  tall fwds the reality for me is we have just 2. riewoldt as a proven player and elton a junior in early development. as such id be targeting  some tall fwds inexpectation of us having to cut both vickery and griffiths.

Was glad to see him being physical but his complete lack of output peeed me off towards the end of the first half. Even when we were dominating he was doing nothing.

Back to the VFL and send Vickery with him.

Bring in Elton and McBean, see what they're made of. Give them a taste.

Was poor, again where is the instruction. How does a forward have 2 possessions. 1 from a mark that he took off the kick out and his 2nd was a free kick from out of bounds.

He didn't once recieve the ball from a team mate. How does that happen to a forward when his team is up by 6 goals at half time. 2 possessions. 2!

Something is wrong there. Does he know where to run, do our players know where to look? He had a decent start to the year now seems lost. Another failure thanks to our development coaches. Will be Ports leading goal kicker in a few years
Go Tigers!

I think you will find princess jack also has twice the delivery

To not put jack or griff back when norf got the run on was shocking coaching

As soon as Petrie went back when rfc got the last sniff it was cheakmate

Agree , you cannot blame griff, just keep playing him as sydney is doing with derickx, if we delist griff gee or sydney will pick him up and turn him into a better player. We just have to work out his best game. Plus to sub him out was a huge mistake, he could have gone to petrie, lennon, while he needs as much game time as possible, was not the answer. And dont go on about stats, at the end of the day whild they are an indication that is all they are
