when he is ready he must play chf and miller must go to chb

Would prefer Moore, astbury, post chb instead of mcgaune or miller

Interesting the polarized opinion of people evident in the poll above.

Roughly half the voters think we should bring him back as soon as he is fit regardless of form while the other half believe we should wait until his form warrants a call up.... :-\

I don't really like any of the poll options
I just think we should bring him back when he's ready, pretty simple

Griffiths is our future CHF star Miller is just keeping the spot warm for him.
I think we should bring him back as soon as he's played a couple of Coburg games. There's no use persisting with Miller if he's not in our future plans.
You could use Miller as a permanent CHF coach for the boy.

So you would would bring him back when he ready - physically/injury-wise, form wise or fitness & form together?

When he is fully fit -he plays....and I hope he brings that 100% winning record with him.

Miller couldn't do any worse in the backline than Rance or Mcguane.

if hes fit and he finds form play him.
 a coupl;e of things lets not forget we are still in rebuild mode, so finding playing and getting games into as many kids as possible should still be our priority. surely griffiths falls into this category. the other point for me is he missed a lot of last yr and will miss a lot of this yr,  when fit and in form give him 4 or 5 games more if his form warrants it.

Mainly fitness related, if he can run out 2 full VFL games then bring him in.

He must play at least 2-3 senior games at Coburg

Massive gulf between VFL seniors & reserves (why they call the reserves "the development game" is stupid)

We have a break coming up around round 11 ish. 

If Griff is fit I would bring him back in after the break to play the rest of the season.

Last year at a club 80 function Griff was asked (when he was playing but only getting a few possies in the seniors) whether he thought it was better to get only say 5 kicks in the seniors or play at coburg where he might dominate and get more experience.

His response was quite interesting, he said that for his developement playing in the seniors was better than going to coburg and racking up the stats.  The reason why - the grounds that coburg play at are diff to the mcg and etihad.  He said he was learning more by playing on the bigger grounds that suited him more than the smaller ones that coburg plays at.  Interestingly he knew last year that his role was to take his defender away from JR8 (unlike say sarge that would lead to the same spot as richo and bring his defender with him).

On this basis I would agree that if fit play him in the seniors and get as many games into him as possible.
