Griffiths should be played as CHF, Vickery played in pocket, Jack as full-forward. Jack can lead a little as Vickery like the ball over the back, Griffiths to bomb it long and we all live happily ever after.
 
How silly will alot of people look if Tyrone comes out and kicks 4-5 goals this week against the blues
This may sound stupid when referring to a forward but it isn't just about kicking goals for Tyrone. The thing I hate about statistics is that manner in which the statistic was gained. A goal for example, if its a handball over the top and a kick on the goal line which I have seen him kick many a times then I don't see it as he worked well. Vickery needs to be leading hard all game, he doesn't have the excuse of being a part time ruck relief, he is our Full Forward and he needs to start acting like one. Lead hard, present and stick out the dukes and mark the ball. Vickery is a lovely set shot for goal, thing is about set shots is you don't kick them unless you mark the ball. But yeah I do hope he kicks a bag this weekend lol

I agree with this in the most part. Yet I would also like to see Vickery move away from Jack when he leads. As I have noticed the last couple of seasons that TV tends to follow the ball all the time. So he tends to get in the way at times, & also brings his man into the contest with Jack trying to lead. Where this tends to make life more difficult for our other forward structure. Maybe this might be also a issue with our coaching dept.
 
One of Hampson, Vickery or Griffiths makes way For Maric once he regains his fitness, by then it will be winter and wet and we would not want them all in the side. On last weeks performance I'd drop Vickery but he has at least 6 weeks to rectify that. I really hope Griffiths continues the improvement as talent-wise he has it over the others

At this stage (based on 1 game) Griff could very well take Ty's spot in a month.

This is my number one pet peeve with our forwardline. They have no idea how to make space. The coaching staff has a lot to answer for.
 
I'd have both - both need more games and opportunities to try and capture their preseason form and turn it on in the real stuff.

Thought McDonough was a bit stiff to lose his spot as well.

Congratulations Ben griffiths! You just set yourself a great performance building block! There were a few errors that if we remove and what not but they way you presented at 80-100 metres out and took some strong contested marks really warmed my heart! Here's hoping you use this block to comment your name on the team sheet at centre half forward!
As for you Tyrone same goes! A few things to add and remove but I hope you continue the improvement you had from this game
 
Now lets see if he can do it week after week, not just once every now & then.
If he did it week after week he would end up with 100 goals for the year. Some people are very harsh judges of Ty. Great game from griffo as well not to mention astbury. Those 3 are key to how far we go this year and beyond.

When Maric comes back I would rather griffiths plays second ruck and Hampson out of the team. I think Hampson is a decent first ruck but griffiths gives more around the ground and has more scope for improvement too. I don't think Hampson is suited as a forward so if he isn't main ruck he doesn't have a lot of strings to his bow.
