Griffith Dropped????

[docko911]

[living_in_syd]

So you think the match committee have told him he's dropped for not kicking goals? Or Griff reads Bigfooty and thinks we pick the side?

Think about it champ.

So what has he been dropped for then?

Why was he dropped?

 

[Reservoir tiger]

Do you watch the games or just read stats?

Haha no I watch them, why did I miss the part where he took a mark inside50 or scored the last 3 games? Didn't think so

 

[cairo tiger]

Why are Port rubbing there hands?

think about promising tigers who now play there.

Did you see his contested Marks on the wing in the first half against the Hawks??? his Marks in defensive 50? His long accurate kicks of a couple of steps??? this is a stupid decisions by the RFC....

 

[Rich01]

still shaking my head one day later. I have heard Port are rubbing thier hands.

Enlighten us with your inside knowledge Cairo.

How can you call Vickery a favourite when he's played the last two in the 2nds?

Just stupid and illogical.

Don't like player=Coaches favorite.

Surely that's not all he is judged on? He's still a kid. Consistency is what will make him better and the best way for him to find that is to play weekly

There would 17 other clubs after Griffith...

16.I think GWS have enough tall timber to re stock the amazon.

Vickery got dropped because he wasn't having an impact and as much as we'd all like to think of Griffiths as the answer he wasn't having much impact either. So like Vickery he gets to go back to the VFL and hopefully play at CHF and re-establish himself as the player we want him to be.

I actually think Griffiths was having an impact on games, a lot more than Vickery has shown this year on exposed form

So what? Why single out Port?

 

[tigerT]

So what? Why single out Port?

Bc they have form in identifying wasted talent at the tigers

Nope. Cairo claims to have heard something. I call bullshit.

Why single out me? I never mentioned Port

The ridiculous thing is none of our forwards are having an impact because of the way the ball is being moved from defence midfield..... But yer the revolving door will fix things.

Vickery has never had any impact at CHF , he simply plays as forward pocket and predominately blocking space Jack has to lead into , whilst leaking opposition goals as they set up of his poor defensive skills . Ala GC .

It was aimed at cairo.

Would , should read "will be" .

already be

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Let it be...

Let it be...

If only Griff would give out a hit like the Beatles.

I swear you guys are a laugh, complain that players who aren't having an impact should be dropped, then when we do such a thing, it's but but but he should have stayed in he'll never develop like this.

FWIW I'm all for Griffiths being part of the side, but like anyone he needs to continue to perform to warrant selection, we can't just continue to give him games because he is young and talented, all that will do is set in stone that he can get through without actually earning his spot. Send him back to the VFL and give him the chance to settle into the CHF position, so that when he does come back to the senior side he'll be ready to step into that role and perform as we want him to.

Lets not forget that Griffiths has played as our second forward/ruck the past 2 weeks and has gone goal less in the past 3 weeks, no matter how good a kid is, you can't have that sort of return from your second option tall forward. He'll learn from it and it will make him a better player as a result.
