one criticism I just dont get about griff is the he doesnt want it enough accusation.
What is this based on? When I see a big man that lays 5-6 tackles a game to me that doesnt show a lack of desire or commitment - actually the opposite. The low possession count is concerning but it baffles me hearing this criticism.
Doesn't get to enough contests TM, doesn't clunk enough contested marks, once or twice a game he ll take a towering mark over a garlett or zorco, for mine dosent look to have the appetite ....like others he ll prob make fools of us and become a decent ruck option, that's where I feel his future may be rather than kpp
I agree he doesn't get to the right spots enough, however don't agree with not enough contested marks, wasn't he top 5 or 10 in the league for most of the games he played? Add to that high tackle count and high pressure acts and to me that paints a different picture. The weakness in his game for mine is he doesn't get enough cheap uncontested possessions, most of his are contested - this is because of 1 of 2 reasons - 1) he doesn't work hard enough to get free or 2) combination of him not being used enough by teammates and/or not being smart enough or fit enough with his running patterns.
If he didn't lay a tackle like Vickery I'd say yeah he's probably lazy and doesn't work hard enough like Vickery, but the fact he does all the hard stuff suggests he still needs to learn how to get off the leash a bit more which will just take time (and hopefully a new forward line coach)
