True. If we spend this year getting his body right, then it;s as though we are bringing in one more top young player next year. #4, #26, #28 etc plus a healthy Griff.

Dr Diagnosis is back in the house. Seriously, you and I know nothing but I would say its handled just fine. THe ressies schedule would be about catching up fitness from his pre-season, not finding form.
So you think half a ressies game, followed by an unexplained week off, followed by a seniors game is a good way to bring him back?
I don't see how this has any relevence to his shoulder injury though, either way.

How can you say it has no relevence to his shoulder injury when it appears he has agrivated the same shoulder?
I know im probably jumping the gun, but isnt that what we all do here on this forum
Its one thing to spend months in the gym and doing laps of Punt Road oval, but its match strength and conditioning in the shoulder that seem to be the logical issue with me. If im wrong, fair call. We will just have to wait for the medics report. Until then should we close this thread so no silly opinions like mine can be posted?
For a minute I thought you were talking about his depression. I know how he feels.Yeah well that probably has more to do with the poor state of our list
Bad luck or bad constitution ?aggrevating the shoulder injury, it has nothing to do with match conditioning. any player can go into the game today and injure their shoulder, no matter the preparation. It's not as griff pulled a hammy or something that is fitness related, in which case the lack of prepartion could be brought into question.
but a joint injury from contact, like this case, cannot be averted no matter how much match practice he gets. simply bad luck.
Judd also had shoulders issues and dropped to 3 in the super draft, but seems to have turned out all right.Bad luck or bad constitution ?
Sean Rusling anyone ?
There were reasons clubs baulked at Griffiths and this is why ... as usual we took the punt where others were cautious (we certainly are good at that) .
Time will tell if our gamble will work but at the moment based on current facts it aint looking good , especially when you consider the kids size and the way he is going to be expected to play
Yes ... every story has its own ending but sometimes you have to play the numbers .Judd also had shoulders issues and dropped to 3 in the super draft, but seems to have turned out all right.
No it's not, but it's not like it's the middle of his career, and we're just coming into a finals series, it's his second game for Coburg in his debut season, so there is time to get it right. Everything in perspective IDGAF.Yes ... every story has its own ending but sometimes you have to play the numbers .
Judd also plays differently to Griffiths ... Our boys stock and trade is going to be smashing packs a-la Brown , Carey , Richo .
Having bad shoulders is hardly what you need is it

Has anyone actually got a worthwhile report on what he has actually done to his shoulder.
I can't find anything officail from the club and all this speculation and the talk on here it sounds like he should be put down..
How about a bit of perspective here people.
Quite possible that he got a stinger and with the side down about 7 goals or so they decided that it wasn't worth the risk sending him back out there.Has anyone actually got a worthwhile report on what he has actually done to his shoulder.

Surely his shoulder has again given way due to the massive weight of expectatoin some on this forum have placed on both of this boys shoulders.
Griff is going to be our saviour apparently... tough to live up to this even before playing 1 game.
Good luck to the kid but.

sometimes ya just can't win idy, I recall us being cautious in overlooking the funloving, boozing, party animal that was Buddy Franklin for the kid that lived in a community camp and travelled a couple hundred KM's to train ea week...you tell me
