I know half the crowd hung their head with his misses in the EF, probably affected the RFC players as well

I actually liked Brad Miller. Played his role very well and would have got more games if I was coach TBH haha.

Maric is miles ahead of Griff as ruck.

And Vickery is miles ahead of Griff as forward.

Still doesn't say a lot about any of them as Maric is an average ruck, Vickery is an average forward/ruck, and Griff is worse than both at basically anything except taking a reasonable grab from time to time. Oh and he can kick long.

Say what you want about Miller, but his quick hands out the back were second to none and a delight to watch

Conca--------------------------Grif

I just assumed Conca was already on the list

Doesn't the pecking order go a little  like this ....

Chapman
Grigg
Hampson
Conca
Batchelor
Houli

With Newy retired and Vickery now doing enough to appease the masses -  I'm sure we can now find a spot for Griff.
Since when has Vickery ever done enough to appease the masses. Wait you could be right they hang their hats on the odd cheap goal lol.

Lol its is sad but true Brad Miller was a better player than either Vickery or Griffiths.
Gotta keep saying it. We only have two high quality KPP's It really would not be hard to improve on the rest of them.

Brad Miller was better than Vickery? You are a sad man. You don't even support Richmond or watch us play, do you?

Does Vickery have to win the Coleman to earn your respect ?

Vickery was one of the positives of 2015 - 17 goals in the last 5 games is not exactly the "odd cheap goal"

He is definitely  the most vulnerable of a pretty reliable back 6.

The boy from Swan Districts will be breathing down his neck.

Batch can play tall and small which is pretty handy provided his opponent is "ordinary "
