I am pretty sure he is fighting cancer.

Re: Griffen Out

Losing Griffen is a massive blow. I've mentioned this a few times but the most vital statistic in winning teams is 'meters covered' that's by running and kicking. An American scientist pulled AFL to bits and concluded this by just looking at raw stats. Griffen is the number 1 at this in the league over the past 3 years.

In saying that, Ryan has to do what's best for himself and his family.

Dont believe everything those sepo scientist's say.
AFL games are won by contested marks in the forward 50.

The doctors removed a tennis ball sized cancerous growth from his sinus in Febuary.


Ox said tonight that he's pretty close to the end. He also said that Griff wont be the only player missing on sunday-dont know what to make of that.

If this is true, I am not going to complain about him not playing. Cancer is a horrible thing and I wish his father all the. best

I always thought AFL games were won by kicking more points than the other team...

I can sympathise with you. I lost my dad when i was 4 due to cancer.

My heart is also with him and his family.

Rather kick more goals than points.

Re: Griffen Out

It's easy to get selfish at a time like this and say dam Griffen is going to miss a game of football, in the end that is all it is a game.

All the best to the Griffen family at a time like this.

As for the other Bulldog missing this game I'd put my money on Murph or Morris.

Shouldn't it be more goals than behinds?
