Re: Ryan Griffen?

KB has no idea what goes on at his own club, what makes you think he has any idea about ours?

I would be happy with a straight swap for Dangerfield.

I'd be wrapped but there is no way the Crows would part with a guy they regard as Roo mk2.

I think the big FB might be safe, but I too am I little worried that when GC & WS start splurging the moolah that a certain Burger ring munching ranga might be swayed to leave WO.

Really? He seems the type of bloke who loves being around his mates and values family.

I'd be suprised if he left, he'd be close to our highest paid player.

What do people think of Griffen playing Eagleton's role next season?

Not sure he has the engine or the leg-cannon of Eagle. Gut-runners are an underrated species as most of their hard work is done in the opposite direction of where the crowd is looking.

Would we entertain Griffen for Tippett trade?

Definitely.

I doubt Adelaide would.

Re: Ryan Griffen?

Or perhaps Taylor Walker.

Re: Ryan Griffen?

No to Walker. Yes to Tippett.

I agree with this. No way would Adelaide give up a tall marking fwd on the rise for a midfielder. Adelaide are fairly similar to us in terms of a strong midfield base of good running players - but have lacked good tall forwards in recent years. Tippett could make the difference of them being a good side and a very good side (may already being doing so).

No, Griff stays no matter what imo. Getting sick of all the trade calls.

Re: Ryan Griffen?

It'll be interesting to see how many suddenly change their idea of his value to us after tonights game. All of a sudden its a lot harder to go "yeah, I'd be happy to trade him".

Re: Ryan Griffen?

Was just about on course to be the most influential player tonight prior to his corky in the 3rd. Fantastic to see that when the acid was put on him, he responded with a great game.
Calls for his trading very premature.
I still say Griff is has the ability to become a once in a generation midfielder and I would give him at least two more years to show it, before even considering muttering the 'trade?' query.
At 23 his best years are just about to start.
