Team vs. Nort Melbourne

[Loui Tufga]

What's happened to Griff? I haven't heard any news of him being injured.. I cant believe he isn't getting a spot, especially with King out !! Hopefully Dimma is just giving Whitey a game since it will be his last at the club 

According to Craig Cameron, Big Ben has not been right with his shoulder all season. When his shoulder is right (next year obviously) he'll play ahead of Miller.

just proves what a worthless player he is, 2 years at the club & many injuries already, Richmond always make mistakes

As worthless as Butcher has been to port

Can we please get rid of Daniel Jackson, he is brain dead as a footballer.

if you compare Butcher to Griffiths  Butcher kills him in every aspect of football

[Owl]

based on what?  Griffiths has played a few games after a shoulder reco.. not really a solid run to judge him on yet I would of thought.

[10 FLAGS]

what number did Butcher go in the draft?

[Tigermonk]

what number did Butcher go in the draft?

Pick 8

[10 FLAGS]

Griffiths went at 18 didnt he. So the comparison really isnt fair anyway Monky. Big difference between 8 and 18 in draft terms.

[Coach]

WGAF honestly

[Tigermonk]

Griffiths was the biggest injury riddled player in that draft. everyone knew it & its proved correct. And RFC proved how stupid they are for drafted players who sit on sidelines or in lower divisions giving nothing of value

[WilliamPowell]

In Griffiths defence why they played him when his shouilder wasn't completely 100% isnt the kids fault ...it's the club

Doesnt butcher have a bad back and has only been able to play 6-7 games in 2 years bc of it? 

too early to call TM

[TigerLand]

Cotchin has played 22 competetive games and will probably win our Best and Fairest.

There are plenty of examples of players having injuries at the beginning of their careers and go onto be to be great players.

Wasting breath whinging about it. 10 weeks ago Butcher hadnt played an AFL game. Comparisons are embarrassingly irrelevant.

 Griffiths was given the all clear & reinjured himself, his pee Weak
Butcher was eased into AFL & has done more in a few games than Broken Wings Griffiths

[JVT]

2012 Season: Griffiths > Butcher

Sorry wrong there Monk - didn't re-injure the shoulder, played when it wasn't 100%. My question is why? to appease the supporters?  it simply defies logic. And Griffiths isn't weak I would argue our medical people are dumb

Butcher is a great example actually of clubs doing the right thing by a kid. Butcher had a really nasty back injury. Did Port rush him to play seniors? Nope they waited until he was 100% right and look at the benefits...

We don't play blokes at 100% we settle for 95% and say away you go
