Far better option than Benny Butcher-Clokechardson.

Couldn't do worse than Ben " I miss goals from 30 m directly in front " Griffiths.

Griffiths has kicked goals in AFL games though, McBean pole hasn't from what I remember in 2 games in the forward pocket.  This kid could make it but might just as easily be a dud in the heat of the fire.

Griffiths didn't kick a goal in his first two games either.

That is so funny. What makes it funny is the big element of truth to it.
Has he taken any over head marks this off season.

I seem to recall he has kicked plenty at VFA level??

He played forward at first. Then back. Then forward/ruck.

And what a masterstroke it's been by Dimma and friends. 7th afl season and the guy simply doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

Agree he has been mind copulated severely, what happened to his 60metre booming kicks??

Griff can kick them from outside 50 - he just can't kick them from 30 m directly in front ( when it really counts )

Rd 17 Fremantle MCG - Griff misses a set shot from straight in front - would of put us over two goals up in the third quarter in a titanic struggle. Game cost us any real chance of top 4.

Elimination Final - Griff misses easy shot in the first when we had all the momentum..

Wow - You never miss an opportunity to whack poor old  Dimma .

Griff played in defence because of injuries to other defenders - and did quite well.
Played well against Hawthorn one year.
I'm a critic of Griff - but his versatility is one of his greatest attributes .
