    If it wasn't for the Whitten Oval I'd never cross the Westgate.

      I take it you do not head down to the Penninsula during the summer then?

        Of course I do.

        Everybody goes to Portsea, don't they?

          Compare this to Ray who doesnt even notice he is being chased and is one paced until he is tackled.
          Griff actually slows down to suck the chaser into tackling him then simply runs away. He toys with them.

            They do, thats why I don't. There's some beautiful beaches like Apollo Bay. You may have to go voer the Westgate though.

              Apollo is the place to be...provides the best surface for beach cricket

                The slight, teeny weeny difference being that Griff almost never gets caught, often shakes the tackle of if he does, and his disposal is excellent... and Griff does it from congested play, not the HB line.

                But apart from that, there are similarities...
                Except that Griff has 10-12 kg on Farren and most of that is in the hips and upper thighs
                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                  Plus the 1.8 kg of brain matter that Farren seemed to be lacking

                    Spot on. Griff burning off Motlop was one of the highlights of his season. His pace is brilliant, just needs to have the awareness and nous to pick his time to run, and not automatically take off every time he receives the ball.
                    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
