Bummer, but nevertheless, a good opportunity for Griff whilch will ultimately make our team stronger for the future

Big Game for Griff be very interesting to see how we go with clearances given one theory is Sandi's dominance is actually often to our disadvantage. Fyfe was also missing against Saints though.

Would have liked to see Kruezer Vs 211 but Griff in many ways could make us less predictable. Still cannot see how Lyon is going to play Griff and 211 in the same team as given in that article....

No matter how Griffin plays, they cant be played in same team.
They arent mobile or versatile enough for todays game to be played in same game.

Will be interesting to see how Griffin approaches it.
He should now realise he is backup main ruckman.
Meaning when Sandi plays he is out.
When Sandi is out he comes in as #1 ruck
Clarke is always backup ruck.

Will he sook and be unhappy about his position in squad, effecting performance.
Or will he come out fired up with a point to prove, and play as good as last season.

Abit worried about how he will aproach it.

Hopefully its nothing to serious for Sandilands.
His tap work may not be great, but what he adds around the ground will really be missed.

Why worry about how he approaches it? First game in last season he looked like he meant business.

I'd be more concerned with the guys adjusting to setting up differently to rove to his taps after training with Sandi constantly

Griffin should get a min of 6 games in any season just from covering Sandi.

Great to see that we are actually going to give Sandi time to get over a niggle rather than force it.

We are going to miss the big mans marking around the ground more than his hit outs.

Does Sandi take marks around the ground? Hadn't really noticed.

Next time a game is on - keep an eye on 31

Seems to take the big contested grab when we most need it.

What? You do realise that he takes about 3 contested marks per game which makes him by far and away our most prolific contested mark in our team (next best in McPharlin with 1.5) and =3rd overall amongst all AFL players. That's not even factoring in the free-kicks he gets (or should get) from players climbing all over him like a jungle-gym in marking contests.

At least he is equal third in contested marks...

Are people's Sarcasmeters broken?

I believe Comic Book Guy may have one for sale.

Nah, yakamoto actually believes Sandilands is no good.
