Not really, you said talk AND hype
There's just as much hype on Griffen, just that there's been more 'talk' on the others because of the #1 selection

Sorry, but this is what you said.
You infer that there has been not much talk or hype about Griffen, which is patently false
Now you simple say there is has been more for Deledio, well no shiiit, he's was the predicted and actual #1 pick, what to you expect?

i wouldnt be at all suprised if griffen turns out to be the pick of the draft. i heard alot of recruiting managers say he was their no1 pick, including crows and eagles.
deledio has a bigger upside than griffen, he is younger, taller and more athletic. however, he isnt quite as good as griffen yet from what i have gathered. the tigers are banking on natural improvement.

I think there was something like 6 or 7 clubs that indicated that they rated Griffen as their number 1. For the Dogs to get him at 3 is a bargin.

Thats what i said.
COMPARED to!!!!!!!!!
I will explain it to you in BABY terms for you Richmond supporters...... it means that you look or listen about the two players and you make a judgment on who has had more media coverage etc.....
UNDERSTAND!!
And thats what i said.... I didnt say he wasnt being talked about at all. I said that he wasnt recieving AS MUCH media coverage or talk or hype surrounding him rather than Deledio.

You didn't say there hasn't been AS much, you said there hasn't BEEN much
Who's the one that needs things explained in baby terms? I'm having to remind you of what you wrote
Hence we come full circle back to the original point
There has been plenty of talk about Griffen both on forums and in the media.
From memory the front page of The Age when they had their draft preview had a photo of Griffen. I know he was up in the header at some stage, just not sure when exactly.
To say he hasn't had much talk or hype, even compared to Deledio is wrong. If you ask me he's probably even had more coverage than Roughead, as it turned out an earlier pick. There's been sweet FA about him since he was picked up.

While women lie in this regards, when it comes to footy, size isn't everything
Not when it comes to comparing player styles anyway

I wouldn't say Griffen is underrated, he was pick 3 and thus he was picked higher than Tambling.
I've heard a number of times that Deledio is a overall better and younger version of Goddard, but from a couple of games i've see him play i would compare him to Chris Judd.
Just take out Judd's pure inside midfielder skills and replace it with versatility around the ground and overhead marking.

Deledio - Chris Mainwaring, only taller
Roughead - Nietz, but not as quick over the first 5-10
Griffen - Buckley, without the fig jam
Tambling - Peter Matera, only smaller
Franklin - Ottens, he's nothing like Tarrent
Haven't seen the rest
