Jonathon Griffin came to the Crows at the end of 2004, after being drafted as a rookie. After a good year in the SANFL, he was upgraded to the senior list at the end of 2005. In 2006, he played most games for the Central District reserves team. The Crows persisted with the lanky ruckman over the next pre-season and he made is long awaited debut in 2007 at AAMI Stadium round one against Essendon, due to injuries to Ivan Maric and John Meesen.
He was up to the challenge and shouldered the ruck duties, with the more experienced Ben Hudson, for the first thirteen games of the season. He then played a further three more games for the season, including his first final. An Indigenous footballer, he mainly plays in the ruck with the occasion stint up forward.
His best game came against Richmond at AAMI Stadium, round eight. He kicked two goals and earned his first Brownlow Medal vote for his career.
With hopefully a little more muscle to his slight frame, Jonathon Griffin looks set to continue his promising form into season 2008.
