Toast Griffin

[coldlunch]

Roberton was always going to get this good and better, no surprises here

 

[coldlunch]

quite happy to see him getting a good run in a team that needs him, as against probably fluttering in and (mostly) out of ours. would be nice depth to have, but oh well.

Dinkum? 194cm?

Not disbelieving you, but it seems wrong.

That's what the Saints website has him at, and 88kg. Not bad considering McPharlin is 192 and 91kg.

Although club sites aren't known for their accuracy.

Guys, this thread is about Griffin not Roberton - let's not detract from the great man.

I think some people are forgetting how good Sandi is at his best.

Was just coming in here to say exactly that. Love the Griff but he only had 9 touches on the weekend, Sandi would have probably gotten about that many clearances if he was playing.

 

[Freo Shark]

These ****ing knee's!! Hang in there mate, hope its not an ACL!

 

[rgauci]

He was wearing a hinge knee brace when he walked back to the bench. Thats usually for a collateral. 4-6 weeks. Fingers crossed.

 

[FreoRicci]

On crunches with a knee brace.. Generally if ACL you can walk for a bit and no limp. Fingers crossed, it's nothing serious. Definitely been great this season!

EDIT: Just saw above post.. Gotta love iPhone!

It can, I hope so, but it could be that he's damaged his collateral ligaments as well his ACL. The way he did it, it does look like the initial 'force' of the injury was sideways(ish) so that points to the medial ligament, so that's hopeful(?) ... but I was fairly hopeful on first sight that Bradley may have gotten away without an ACL, so don't put much weight on what I say.

Form of his life too, what a bummer.

 

[coldlunch]

devastated for the big fella

 

[StingRoll]

Devastating!
Hope it is not as serious as feared but either way not having this bloke on the park makes things certainly a lot more challenging, especially considering the form he was in.

He has done his ACL. Confirmed.

 

[sumavich]

Bugger. Shouldn't have toasted him. Should have bagged him, then he'd be leading us to victory ala Zac Dawson.

Bugger, massive blow this one.
Real test of our ruck stocks this season is proving to be.

Thought I'd bump an old thread. Funny reading some of the old comments.

Anyway I was definitely in the 'Clarke should be in the team come finals' camp but Big Griff-Dog just shut me down.

Performing well in the ruck, creating contests around the ground, kicked 2 goals against the Saints and would have kicked 2 goals against GWS if not for the blood rule.

Perfect run for him, will be settled in the side and peaking come finals.

A toast to Jon Griffin

Bit of warning in the thread title would have been nice!!

I read the start of the page and it was all "hope its not an ACL", "knee injury", etc. then looked at the date and it said 2013.....

Bwahaha.

 

[MadDocker]

Happy with Griffs performance and what he's bringing to the team. Competes hard and does a solid job. Feel more confident in Griff putting in a good GF game than Clarke.

For sure. You just know Clarke will go into his shell in a big game.

 

[Freoforever86]

It's refreshing seeing our 2nd ruck compete for the ball & not worry where his opponent is all the time.
Griff doing a great job

 

[rodney hoo]

Done excellent and shut me up as well ,wonder if having Alex P up there made it easier for all, think Clarke will still have a lot to offer.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Gotta put my hand up and say I didn't think that we'd be able to play Sandi & Griff in the same team, and that Sandi & Clarke was a more versatile combination. Thrilled to be wrong. Love the Griff.

 

[Belnakor]

I dunno if Griff will get a gig during the finals but he is definitely helping Sandi out alot at the moment.

Suddenly Sandi is clunking a few marks too. probably because he isn't knackered from rucking solo the whole game.

 

[MadDocker]

Unless his form drops or he gets injured, no way he goes out for Clarke. Ruck combo is working great at the moment and Griff is doing the job Clarke wasn't .
