The first grab coming out of defensive 50.
We've struggled.
Griff is the man.
With his booming foot the next inside 50 or deep swing into the corridoor is a kick away.
No way Vickery gets in over Griff!

The guy gives us so much more than many around here are happy to admit.

A very different player to Vickery.  Ideally we should have them both in the team as each offers something the other doesn't.

That's what I'd do but he's still contracted.

He's restricted if he wants he can go to St. Kilda in the draft and wait 5 years to play finals again.

Need to resign him

I also love Griffiths. But needs to work in engine.

I enjoy following him play and watched him closely. He had a great 1st qtr but was spent after that until the last when he played on adrenaline. 2nd and 3rd he was left jogging behind Grundy.

Ball rarely went forward with any purpose in those quarters so all our forwards struggled. I thought he still contributed in the ruck and gave Maric a chop out.

Agree with this, nothing another preseason wont fix.

His ability to take a contested grab and to make a contest are very good. Throughout the game he brought the ball to ground if he could not mark it. His long kicking was also very valuable. Agree needs to work on his engine but the club also needs to learn to kick it to him. Saw at least one occasion where he had made space and was not rewarded for doing so. His game against the Swans was very team oriented.

If we dont sign him up we are nuts. Stepped up this season and now believes. That leg is such a weapon, it doesn't always show up on the stats sheet but it creates so many goals.

Slippery night. Not a game for tall forwards. I50 delivery was disgraceful too. Too many high balls, outnumbered all the time, not hitting targets on the lead, and just kicking the stuffing ball out on the full.

This guy gives more than Vickery every week. He takes great marks and clearly cares more for playing that Vickery. Probably because Vickery is gifted games and Griffiths generally isn't.


MUST sign him. We're playing finals and hopefully he wants to be successful rather than play for a pack of chumps like St Kilda or Footscray. Otherwise just match the bid or at least get a good pick in a trade FFS. Offer Vickery instead. This guy has to stay. Anything less is a failure of the club.
