Griffin

[strobe00]

Without hesitation, Kepler and Clarke is a much more flexible duo and Griffin has been dead weight this year.

If Kepler had been rucking on the weekend we would have been absolutely flogged in the clearances.

Griffin was solid in the ruck at least. Our midfield was comparatively poor. With Kep in there we'd have lost virtually all the taps and been correspondingly slapped in the clearance. Even with Griffin getting first hands on the ball much of the time, we still barely broke even by the end of the game.

Smith and Dixon are very athletic for big kids. Griffin is probably still not 100% over that leg injury (calf?) he picked up a couple of weeks ago.

I thought that Griffin was pretty good - at least as good as Sandi usually is. Problem is instead of a midfield populated with slow dwarfs it is now populated with slow giants.
