Ben Griffiths [merged]

[Go Richo 12]

Bloke needs a rocket in the ass regarding his short range kicking for goal.

Missed a total sitter VS Carlton, another VS Footscray, and at least two VS Melbourne.

Unacceptable for a KPF!

Its been our problem for 20 years. Richo was a shocker, Jack will kick around a corner or pass it 20 meters backwards and Griff had a howler versus Melbourne. The captain can't kick a set shot and nail a goal.
The only bloke who has proven he can kick a goal under immense pressure was Jordan Mc Mahon and that cost us Jack Watts.

I thought Jordan McMahons goal enabled us 2nd pick, we got Dusty instead of Scully??

This is what I don't like about people who post facts, it shoots down other people's stories.

I liked your version better too.

If you stop Big Benny Griffiths run at the footy for a mark he hasn't got much else. For a bloke that is 200cm and 100kg and has been on an AFL list for 6 years he isn't real strong when competing one on one for a mark. That also goes for his ruck work.
It will be interesting to see him this weekend on Hansen, Thompson, Firrito or even Tarrant, all guys that like body contact and take away your run at the footy.
Don't get me wrong I want this guy to succeed, it may not sound like it but I can see past the one big grab a week or the long goal. He needs to get involved more than he does for a player of his size and time on our list.
I'll be watching closely this weekend.

if you stop anyones run at the footy they havent got anything else. mainly because you have stopped them getting to the footy

[Diocletian]

Yeah that's generally how it works....

As a key forward at 200cm and 100kg you would hope he could actually hold his ground and take a contested mark. Not sure how much running is involved in that?

[Chuck17]

Maybe we need someone who can leap 2 metres high from a standing start

in that case you havnt stopped his run at the ball.

if you stop someones run at the ball you stop them getting to the ball, by definition.

[Penelope]

holding your ground is also completely different to running at the ball.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

holding your ground is also completely different to running at the ball.

What if your running up and down on the spot?

This thread's about Griffiths, not Vickery....

Yet you said Vickery is still young in another thread and we need to persevere with him! And he's been far more putrid than Griffiths this year. And Griffiths is a year younger....
