[Ancient Tiger]

Just love him.

Next skipper, bank it.

Leads without fear from the front.

Nice AFL tatt he has on his upper thigh.

Shouldn't have been getting a game end of last year , had a terrible season.

Vlastuin? No he didn't

He wasn't great but he wasn't bad either.

You could have said that about 15 others in the 22.

He was putrid and it was even more evident when Short and Oleg were at worst matching his output.
Despite Vlaustin being in the prime of his life and having a good amount of games under his belt.
I aint a hater but let's not get ahead of ourselves, he is realistically only just inside the best 22.

Brandon Ellis was terrible
Shane Edwards was putrid

Vlastuin was solid for the majority of the year (but not as good as he should be)...you're just thinking of his stuff up against the pies.

We must have a bloody good 22 then.

 

[Richoman Tigers]

Such as?

Couple of blokes named Dangerfield and Ablett both started as flankers spending the majority of their time up forward

 

[theyellowsash]

I'll believe it when I see it. I've heard this positivity crap from players every year so it really means nothing.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Everyone thinks that of him as a veteran, yet he's 22.

But your not going watch our games so how will you know to believe?

IMO, Griffiths is too unreliable a kick for goal to play KPF. He is a better kick to position. I think, however, that he and Astbury will remain where they are.

Of course they will remain where they are how long has it been since either played in the opposite role and who else is there to replace them if need be.

On Griffiths i am going to harp nack to his junior days where he was a pure ff full of promise. Play him deep leave space for him to lead into or if need be put it on his head one v one and ask he bring it to ground at worst.Imo he needs more core strength and hardness he needs to fight for position better than he does just has to get some mongrel and intensity along with work rate from somewhere.If he doesn't he will end up on the scrap heap he is probably lucky to be on a list atm.

I agree. That's the only place he should play in the forward line. As deep as possible. Riewoldt will still score and create a heap of goals from CHF and I like him playing there. The most dangerous Griffiths has ever looked was in that M.C.G game last season against Sydney. They got it to him quickly when he was one out and his opponent (Grundy from memory) was looking extremely nervous.

I'm sure I'll hear about it somehow if he becomes any good

LOL all we hear is how good Griffiths is and how good he is going to become from the positive crowd.

Sadly hes been mostly poor and he enters yr 7 or 8 a stage where you start to question upside.

 

[Tiger71]

Agree. He was injured and was forced to play injured for the majority of the year so his form tapered off in the later rounds.

 

[mopsy]

Well no we finished 13th. What does that tell us.

 

[Goldust]

You could have said that about 15 others in the 22.

Both you and The Roar is Back are right.
Vlastuin has a mediocre season and was beaten often.
And yes you could have said that about 10-15 others.

Griff is a natural CHB and it's at CHB where we can best utilise his booking kick.
He's a good long kick but not accurate in the slightest.

Same people were banging on about him in year two, three, four, five etc.
Mediocre at best!

I don't dispute that at all. I just don't think there's any chance that he'll be played at CHB. If he has to be forward, it has to be as close to goal as possible.

Agree buddy. He'll line up at FF.
