Is Griffiths anouncing himself

[CeltDave]

Is this his arrival? Contensted marks, chasing, tackling.

Very happy with his game.

 

[nastytiger]

@ in a word yes, moves real well, imposing and like he chases

Hope his body holds because he is the chf we need

 

[mcuzzy]

Definately, but I'll admit that I always cringe when I see all his shoulder strapping though. Hope his joints can all stay together

 

[Richm0ndrule]

Why'd they sub him? was playing well and providing a marking target

Bad cramping - match conditioning thats all I think

Judd has always worn the same sort of strapping since he had reconstructions in his early years. We can only hope that Griffiths shoulders hold together like Judd's and he develops in to a quality player.

 

[007Tigers]

looked really good, i liked him last week to, god hes bloody quick for his size... show alot more than he did last year

 

[PHX]

Love the Griff.

Got the ball bugger all times but loved the way he got it. Looks all class

 

[SdKfz 181]

The goal that Griffiths kicked got me exited because one, it was a good mark against Fletcher, but two it was kicked to him by Jayden Post!! I think they both showed a bit tonight

 

[carn tigez]

Will be a gun. The next Richo even, and I'm not talking about playing ability..

 

[Hipster Doofus]

A bright light on a very dark night, play him for the rest of the year, reckon we've found our CHF

 

[Dusty Cotch]

Yes!
Along with Helbig the positives of the night found to beauties there.

 

[peggles]

definitely a positive tonight. the darksiders have been saying he doesn't take contested marks....how wrong were they.

one thing i want to see big benny do when he gets the ball about 60 out is just to roost it, cos he can make the distance, rather than trying to short pass into the 50, which he tried to do on many occasions today. but he'll learn.

 

[RoaringTiger]

Yes, congratulations to him. Great to see him doing well - good on him

Hey boys why was he subbed off tonight? Loved the early looks of him, if it wasn't injury related it was questionable. Looked very likely when the ball was near.

Match fitness. Still only just returning from injury and couldnt run the full game out.

 

[Bojangles17]

not quite but boy i loved the look of a couple of nice clunks of contested marks. not sure I would have subbed him off...needs miles in the legs, will get better with ea hitout from here on in

 

[dothebowdenshuffle]

Looked all class and great work-rate at ground level too. Reckon he wanted to be subbed out as we were in front at the time, to keep his winning record intact - I am selectively disregarding last week's loss as he played just a quarter and a bit and anyway I think if I recall correctly coach said something similar. forget it, not us...funny how that can happen 2 weeks in a row

 

[SSSSSS]

If he can get his body right, he will be a star. Lots of upside for your boys. Lot of youngins which only means improvement. Was one of the few players who looked really hungry for the ball.

That one hander in the goalsquare was brilliant.

 

[THE_GUN]

Loved the marks & the chase down ! How quick is he for a 200cm 100kg bloke

Dimma now has to just get games into the kids

Post,Gourdis,Griffiths,Conca,Batchelor,Dea,Helbig,Contin

These kids are our next tear and will be the diffrence when our 1st stringers are being held/tagged etc thats when we will know what these kids can do....................... And give them the rest of the season to play & learn what dimma wants them to do.

Any player carrying injurys or niggles (jack) should be rested & looked after ........... we are not about personal glory , colemans or bf's atm

 

[Madtiger2006]

Was very happy with our first half. Griffiths and Post showed what we have to work with for the future

 

[Goldust]

Both Griffiths and Post showed touches of class last night ... now they just need to find more of the ball and become more consistent, but a good foundation.
Helbig was sensational last night!

These blokes wouldn't get a game in 13 other sides in the comp..... So dont get excited coz on occasion they "show a bit" and are young.....i believe the term is list cloggers

I believe you're wrong.

You can write them off already if you really want but how can Helbig and Dea, two 19 year olds, be "list cloggers" when they have been our list for 1 and 2 years respectively?

Not getting a kick in the burgers.....
Its not just a matter of writing them off, just being a realist..... Again, wouldn't get a game in 13 other sides, but are young, so we play them. How about earn your spot first on merit, not on young age.
