    That's my recount of it as well.
    Boyd asked him and he said he was already, and he clearly stated he was .
    The Griffin article was just an out of season fluff piece

      Maybe he found himself wanting and overreached. I hesitate to bag Griff because he was such a hard working player for us. Hard to say what happened unless you are close to him. I don't think he intentionally tried to hurt the club. He was just about in tears at the GWS presser.

      But this is fierce competitive sport. I am glad he wasn't retained.

              I think the sorting hat got him wrong. He should have been Slytherin.

                Really like the deliberate misspelling of Griffin too. That should become ubiquitous around here.
                Why doesn't the article about Griffin mention the pig shooting?

                  Because it didn't happen? He's already said he went fishing.

                    Fishing for pigs doesn't sound like a very likely excuse to me.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              We have lost some great players over the years, and that is why I get angry when a club champion leaves us.

                                Beasley at full forward. David Thorpe in the centre. Brian Royal in the forward pocket. Scotty Wynd into the ruck.
