      That came around quick. One of the best Ive seen in the red, white and blue.

      I hope he gets to strut his stuff on GF day before he hangs up his boots.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        For us, obviously.

          I was about to say the same thing.

          Time goes so quick. I remember when we first drafted him, and thinking how good our midfield would be with Coons/Griff at full throttle.

          I feel old!

            We'll done to Griff, been very enjoyable watching him play for us and look forward to seeing him play another 100.
            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                Another 5 or 6 years to get there. Given his playing style it's a huge task.

                  Really, 200. This post could also be in the 'when did you realise you were old thread'.

                  Great value at a pick 3.

                    Buddy also playing his 200th - pick 5 wasn't he?

                      Yep, high risk, high reward option. Laurie Angwin wasn't at pick 7.

                      But as far as value, Hawks got members, 2 flags and MacEvoy. Good value I agree.

                        Still wouldn't change Griff for anyone in that draft. Loyal as they come, a terrific leader, outstanding player and great human being. Well done Skip.

                            The better one was rejecting strong interest from the Crows 3-4 years ago.

                            Regarding 300 games, I agree that it will be difficult but Griff is a good player who hopefully can do less heavy lifting over the coming years. I think he can get there.

                              Fantastic servant of our footy club. Will always be one of my favourites, simply because he played his best football in big finals.

                              Here is hoping we can get a win for his milestone match. Well done Griff!!
