Didn't Griff play back line early on though.
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.

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

Played well against Hawthorn one year.

Yep that's my opinion. If it hurts your feelings, stiff for you.

And for the record, as per above you never miss a chance arguing the old chesnut that 'one game make the the man'.

Ridiculous logic.

This is an Internet football forum - it would be impossible for you to hurt my feelings.

I think it's "ridiculous" to imply that after 7 years Griff doesn't know what he is doing .
Blind freddy knows what Griffs role in the team is - 2nd or third tall in the forward line , chop out in the ruck.
I'm pretty sure Ben Griffiths knows this.

I just think a return of 12 goals from 26 scoring shots is an ordinary return compared to Vickery 31 goals from 40 scoring shots.

Footy is an easy game, get the ball and either dispose of it to a team mate or in range kick a goal

BBBG even though he can kick 82.5 metres seems to have troubles with the basics of footy

I like that idea - problem is he's been so injury prone over his whole career.

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 .

He also got a bath by our one and only Shaun Hampson. I still believe this is the point where Richmond thought he was a good player and decided to recruit him. For that I will always hold Griffiths responsible

Is Griffs a person problem, a selection problem or a development problem?

Hmm Versatility. Your only versatile if you can perform several roles consistently well. My trouble is i am yet to see Griffiths perform any role consistently well yet alone two or three.

Being consistently mediocre at different roles is a kind of versatility...

I agree. The biggest problem with Griff has always been his body. It's as brittle as can be. This then translates into loss of confidence between the ears. He is not a guy that can play well with injury.
I have said before, this year is his last chance. Shape up or ship out. And that's from one of his biggest supporters.

I haven't seen anything from McBean that fills me with hope. I'd be surprised if he makes it. I hope I'm wrong.
