We have Cross to do the grunt work.

They're our Abletts, Selwoods, Mitchells. i don't give a fig about Griffens hardball, thats Cross's job, its griffens job to receive, or run onto a ruck tap, break the pack, and nail his pass or score the goal. yep its flashy, but thats why he's in the team.

I appreciate that S West was one of the most important player we ever had, but griffens not in the side to do what Westy did.
