Re: Griff

I thought i'd heard Atkins had 48?

Or was that wrong?

He was an unbelievable ball magnet, in the days when diposals were hard to get:

Best was 46


43 disps (20 kicks 23 hballs) and a goal in Rd 3 43-pt loss to Fremantle at Western Oval (15 Apr 1995)
45 disps (30 kicks 15 hballs) in Rd 17 13-pt win over St Kilda at Moorabbin Oval (11 Jul 1992)
46 disps (29 kicks 17 hballs), 4 marks and 2 goals in Rd 12 62-pt win over Fitzroy at Princes Park (6 Jun 1992)
39 disps (19 kicks 20 hballs), 3 marks and a goal in Rd 11 34-pt win over Hawthorn at Western Oval (31 May 1992)
35 disps (19 kicks 16 hballs), 4 marks and 3 goals in Rd 5 39-pt win over North Melbourne at the MCG (18 Apr 1992)
38 disps (21 kicks 17 hballs) and a goal in Rd 15 46-pt win over Essendon at Western Oval (29 Jun 1991)
41 disps (20 kicks 21 hballs), 3 marks and a goal in Rd 22 21-pt win over Brisbane at Western Oval (1 Sep 1990)

Hardly got a brownlow vote in his career. The best was 8 in 1991.

Above is a link to the all of (most of) Griffens touches.

The part that really stands out now, is that he got them in all areas of the ground.

I wonder how much ground KM wise he covered?

And a rare case of us recruiting the better brother.

Re: Griff

What stood out for me was how he was struggling for support and often had nobody to give the ball to.

We recruited both at the same time.

Re: Griff

Wallis can be captain. If GWS can appoint younger ones, why can't we?

Will be. (my bet, anyway)

Has there ever been any doubt? He seems born to it.
