I really think we need to forget about McBean a ruckman, we ruined Griff by trying to turn him into a backman when he came to the club as a forward, lets not do the same with McBean.

But McBean played as a ruckman in the U19, so I think there is a difference. I reckon he will be able to play both roles. Just think we need to give him time to develop properly. And when I say develop I am talking more about letting him develop physically and grow into his frame

Griffiths isn't the first me will he be the last kid to come up from the TAC  and be sent down back to learn something about defence. I have always believed that's one of the faults with the TAC comp, kids aren't taught the defensive side of the game. Lids being the perfect example.

That's why Grifff went back there.

Ok, I didn't realise that, cheers. He could play both roles, yes agree, and I agree with letting him develop into his frame. It will actually be good to see him after the pre-season..if he is able to complete a full pre-season that is.

Yes it is important to learn defense and lets hope Griff has done that to some extent, I still think he needs to be plonked at FF for about 4 weeks to see what happens. Maybe the NAB Cup is the time to do that...I just hopes he makes it.

I would actually like to see Griffiths plonked at CHF and left there for 4-5 weeks

Agree ..plonk him at CHF and leave him there for several weeks.
My hope is that once left there he actually tries to find the pill

If they name him in the side yes, but that's the problem, they don't give him that chance.

Injuries were not his problem this year, he wasn't selected and when he was he was not given a long enough go.

Yes there is that too, I agree, but in a side like Coburg last year as a forward how much opportunity did he have. They were on the wrong side of a few walloping's.. :-\

Still didn't stop the Beaner from kicking goals or Darrou breaking even as an undersized FB. Apparently Griff has had some off field issues? Will give him the benefit of the doubt for now and I used to like him but no one can sugar coat how disappointing he was this year and how lucky he is to still be on a list. Between him and Arseberry I don't know who was more lack luster.

griff was often playing full back.

do you relise that running with the forward and punching does not reflect in a kick or handball possession?

griff couldnt play forward line because often mcgaune was in that position  :banghead

when mcgaune was in seniors and griff was forward (did this ever happen) who was left to kick him the ball? vlastuin? no arrnot? no

just a bunch of coburg listed retards like abdullah  :banghead
