Agreed.

Just wish he'd bag another goal or two each week.

That long goal was just pure awesome. Opposition clubs will be circling for sure.

I50 delivery was quite poor at times tonight. And slippery too. Hope he kicks a bag vs St Kilda.

Needs to practice his goalkicking, , from 60 he makes the distance so easily but needs to nail more goals, could be a real weapon.

I'd just have him kick 50 shots each day from the arc. 10 from in front, the wide pockets and half way between either side. Every single day. This guy's range should be a massive weapon.

On the other hand it was good to see him back himself to take those shots. Often he looks to dish off.

Kicking over the zone from the hbf is an equally big weapon

just rewatched his kick in the last qtr from the centre square.
Landed it in the goal square and  Gordon kicked the goal.
You can hear his boot smacking the ball as he hits it.
Effortlessly.
How's the leap too ;D

Reckon that was a vgood game from griff in those conditions, dropped a couple of marks and missed a couple of goals which would've been an exclamation mark on a solid game. You can almost see the belief in himself growing.

Heaps better than Vickery IMHO. Adds more in the ruck with pack marking too and that booming kick. :thumbsup

Some more consistency at this level and he can be a 40-50 goal forward with his long range kicking. :thumbsup

Yep, I would play him ahead of Vickery. Moves around the ground better, takes pack marks, kicks it 60+, rucks work is ok and tackles. Trade Vickery and keep Griff would be my call.

I'd keep both of them
They both have potential.

Griffo played well last night getting all around the ground. His long kicking made all the difference against the Crows. He is maturing & getting confidence. His still a danger to himself at times trying to body surf across the packs. He should leave doing that at pop concerts  ;D
