Not having near enough impact at CHF. Have another rest Ben, time to give Elton a crack.

I think Griff and Ty should actually give up football ,they seem more than disinterested.

Agree he wasn't great, even good but gee he showed more aggression at the contest in a half than Ty did for the entire game

Perhaps why they keep playing him  :-\

And that's the problem in a nutshell
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

The whole club seems to be having no fun with their football atm.

Mr magic you are absolutely right.
But frankly I don't care if they are having fun or not.All I went to see at the moment is this simple philosophy......see ball get ball

Instead of the cops fresh out of the academy doing traffic management on a weekday on the corner of Collins and Queen, yep Jack, Ty, Grigg and Chappy. Take a corner each boys and strut your stuff. :wallywink

Big Ben is a 2nd ruckman at best in AFL football. Cant impact up forward and cant play down back. Seems ok as a back up to Ivan Maric though and I prefer Griff to Hampson in this role anyway. Hampson is a dead set spud.

No I'd jadewalk and disobey the road rules where Grigg is. He'll just point to me where to go, won't chase or get his hands dirty much like an RFC game. You can count on that. :lol :rollin :lol

I think he has potential as a CHB that occasionally drifts forward. He seems to have an instinct of rather laying tackles and pressure acts then to lead in the F50 and take a grab near the big sticks

No surprises that Griffiths has been dropped after his 2 possession game. Has trouble getting into the game but finds it quite easy to get out of it..

Would like to have seen Elton get the chance in his spot but no. :huh

Drop Chaplin & play him down back....stuff me, there's two things I would never have said a year ago....hell, not even a couple of months ago...
fully agree with this.
you simply don't get to have the second most contested marks in the league if you are no good and Id bet if someone could access the stats to where he takes most of his contested marks it would not be in F50.

worst game for the year was the one where he hardly left the F50.

Naturally, taking all this into consideration, the obvious thing to do would be drop him
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?
