Whoever it was in their wisdom that picked Griffiths ahead Fyfe in the 2009 draft will have to live with one of the dumbest selection decisions of all time. Should be right up there with Tambling/Franklin and Fiora/Pavlich selections and you can throw in Vickery/takeyourpick selection decision too.
I truly hope that fellow isn't at the club anymore because he's a first round pick wonder and even that's debatable (see Vickery).
P. S. this bunch of Sheila's couldn't even beat a team of cheats. Everyone and his dog knows Gibbs hates the tough stuff and he's a stuffin champion against a team of pretending jokers.
Give me a stuffing break.
Claw posts make a lot of sense now.
Griffiths clearly hasn't reached his potential but write off KP players at your own peril. Look how much Rance has improved? Tom Hawkins? Just stupid to write of KP players before 23-24. Club looking to give him 1 year next year to prove himself. I think that's about fair.
To his defence he was drafted as a forward and has been put down back so he hasn't had a chance to properly develop yet.
And pointless argument vs Griffiths and Fyfe. If you want to shoot down the Griffiths selection compare him to other KP players. Aaron Black was just about the best forward in the U18s that year from WA and we chose Griffiths instead of him at 25 and went to North.
Fyfe is an onballer we needed to draft a forward as Vickery was drafted as a Ruckman. It was the right selection at the time Griffiths over Fyfe, looking back we probably should have picked Black.
No it's very very simple;
Round 2 pick 19 Tigers Benjamin Griffiths
Round 2 pick 20 Dockers Nathan Fyfe
.....And with hindsight.
And what should I expect from Griff next year?
A Tom Hawkins or an Alex Rance or an Aaron Black?????
All I see when I see or hear Griffiths name is FYFE!
And when I watch freo and see Fyfe I shake my head in disbelief just as I do when I see Pavlich...oops I suppose we shouldn't compare Pavlich with Fiora because ones a KPF and we shouldn't compare Tambling with Franklin because ones a KPF.
stuff it!
I'll compare it just the same thankyou because one player is a gun and the other is a dud.
