Cutting their losses. Gryphone would have been at 3 clubs in 3 years (Dogs Oct 2014, GWS, Carlton Oct 2017). That's quality Eking.

As much as we were the beneficaries of Griffin's decision to leave, and I always be thankful for that, it is sad to see what has become of him personally but, when I think of how badly it has worked out for GWS, I feel this pleasant, warm glow throughout.
Griffin has become discardable it seems. Went from the top of the hill to the scrap heap in 3 years. GWS got zero out of him. We got a Premiership with Tom Boyd playing a leading role in the greatest finals campaign ever. Thank you Ryan, thank you GWS.

Vale many great Ekers. So sad to lose so many, after so long.

Nah, he's just a one club player at this point. Maybe into his third club he can finally start to achieve the low bar over a longer time we all know he's capable of.

Re: Ekers
What about Gary Ablett Jnr .. Must be rare to start at a club, leave to another then finish your career at your original club.
A great footballer but we must recognise this effort, would there be many to do that ?
