You going to leave Maric to ruck all by himself?

no,

Vickery, Griffiths, McBean are all pinch hitting options  :shh

Did you read Claw's side ::)

Griffiths isn't a KPD's bumhole unfortunately

where is the proof of this? Has he been tested as a key defender for a six game trail in the senior side? A shame as his kicking ability would be a weapon from the backline

if your claim is indeed true, then I would choose Elton or Astbury assuming he is hanging around.

Mcbean played back as a junior?

, and with this setup you can't afford to use him as ruck relief as we would be too short down back against plenty of sides.

This is probable true

i was taking the mickey somewhat including mcbean and griff. The coul have five min stints. Or go third man up

 i quite like tryone in the ruck. maric should be rested forward more often, to try and get more years out of him as given the list - maric is still a valuable asset

Lids wasted so deep. Best players should always play F50 generally speaking.

Agree of both counts

I feel when the going gets tough our backline crumbles and we need Grimes, Vlastuin, Lids there

do we have the luxury of playing vlastuin in the middle or lids forward?

Would have Miles following personally.

rover or ruckrover?  ;)

Would be playing B Ellis and Houli over Lambert myself

indeed, i struggled to seperate the three

lambert would be the less squib-like of the three? but perhaps the least talented?

Actually yes. Griffiths was played as a defender initially. His move forward has only really been the last 2 seasons.

griff will be 25 next year

perhaps he'd be a better defender in 2016, than what he was in 2010 or 2011

Made allowances or the growing pains of a 200cm developing body... 

Missed a few games with injury then , hopefully not such future problems ...

Unless he gets a sore finger of course

As a backman, Griffiths makes Chaplin look like Jakovich.

I am merely curious as to the same size, as the basis of such definitive comments

How many of his 5o odd afl games were in defence?

I am willing to swap McBean and griff in my 22

Don't tell me bean cannot play there either

Would be offering up Astbury, Griffiths and Conca for sure.

Chasing all those KPP's I keep mentioning... Henderson, Carlisle, Talia, Tomlinson. Two of any of them would be amazing. Then just a mid-20's decent ruckman and some midfield depth...

This aimed at me i think.. May as well what the others offer in the role is minimal may as well just rn one of the kpp  for 5 minutes a quarter and see if they cant take some marks around the ground.
We could always rotate one of the sheep dogs off the bench i suppose to give ivan a chop out.
