Forward Ben Griffiths has returned to full training after his 2016 season was ended by a groin injury after Round 20.

“He’s finally got back from his groin surgery,” Leppitsch said.

“And it’s good to have him out there because he’s got an important role to play.”

Wouldn't it just be the ducks nuts if our talls work out just a little.

Nankervis turns out to be a diamond in the rough.

Griffiths finally lives up to his potential and backs up Jack with a solid 30-40 goal season.

Astbury finds his balls and becomes a decent defender.

Moore becomes a legitimately useful swing man, playing 3rd tall both ends.




Honestly though the bookends are weak AF and we will be exposed this year...

We are in big trouble.

Astbury is slow and immobile.
Griffiths averaged 1 goal per game. 25 yo.
Moore - way too early and hasnt really shown.much.

Nankervis - will be a solid contibutor and first 22. Has a crack and may oust Hampson. Will hit the scoreboard with maybe 12-18 goals.

No Chf or chb of afl standard. Only substandard options. Will leak goals and struggle to kick them ourselves.

Balmey talking about Ben Griffiths . . .

“Ben has got so much talent.  He really came on last year, at times, but he’s just got to be more consistent about it.  He can jump at the ball beautifully, he’s a magnificent kick, he can actually play in the ruck, he knows where the ball’s going . . . He’s just got to have the belief . . .”

I expect Ben to improve on last year and kick a bag of  5 goals in 2 games  this year instead of doing it in 1  in the last 5 years. .
