Ben Griffiths [merged]

[the claw]

oh dear oh dear. it is funny.

it really is swings and roundabouts on sites. they win and all is rosy they lose and all is doom and gloom. the feel good crowd are out in force and it is funny.

yes griffiths had a good game tonight as did 99% of his team mates good on him. lets talk up newman lets talk up houli morris batchelor grigg  etc etc .
people  if he couldnt get a kick tonight he never would. now lets see what happens when there is some real competition.

in fairness to him he had a decent game you cant ask much else in  the circumstances but ffs why hang your hat on it.
 
yes in the past  even in a big win we would get little out of him so its good he made a good contribution its a positive now he needs to produce against a good opponent and consistently.
mcguire was their best defender on the park with a first gamer and another 20 21 yr old kid ffs if ben didnt play well tonight he would never play well.
so much for perspective eh.

Claw, I think you are the one being reactionary bro.

lot to like about griffiths tonight

[Diocletian]

Improving more and more though it seems the better he gets at football the worse he gets at goal kicking. Used to be a Dead-Eye Dick.

Somebody has to be.

Good game.

He is very close to having really good games now. If the set shot he missed from 20 metres goes through and the goal he kicked wasn't disallowed, then he would have had 4 sausage rolls and an excellent game. Improving. Cant be put out of the side with performance like that.

Griffo played his part last night. Lets see how hard Vickery wants that spot back

[bojangles17]

If Big Ben can have a 50+ season then like whoa , Look Out  that spells Danger
Hey claw,,,how's Tom Lee going 

[Fluffy Tiger]

Just his numbers really doesnt show his game. He was involved in so many of our scores. He was showing what he could do last season too. Some couldnt (or wouldnt) see it but this has been gone over many times. Somebody said that Vickery might be more fighting for Marics spot than Griffs and from what we have seen so far this season that could be the case.

His best game so far but  will get even better.  I think now he is getting confident and more importantly his team mates are getting more confident to kick it to him (that wasnt happening last year).

[Gigantor]

I think hes making steady progress,but not completely sold on him yet

good post

Just wish he wouldn't miss the easy ones. One against Carlton he should have nailed and that easy one last night.

He's jagged 6 in 3 games. Should have been 8-9 easily.

Hopefully he starts putting them away. Can't wait to see this guy kick his first proper bag. Always had faith in him!

2 goals a game gets him 44 for the season. That's a pretty good return IMHO.

Agree totally. Those sitters could cost a game one day. I think it seems to be a problem because he can kick so far that he doesnt kick it like he normally would. Not that I would know that as I couldn't kick it over a jam tin.
