Griff back to the dogs?

[Bulldogs2017]

With Griffs career looking over id love to have him back at the Kennel. Gave it his all week in week out. I understand a few of you might still be angry at what happened but you can blame Macca for making him feel unwanted and forcing him to be captain when he didn't want to be. Was my child hood hero growing up so i will always have respect for him.

 

[unclechopchop2]

Nah.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

The flag has removed all the emotion from departing players. From a player stand-point though I don't know what he offers, looks shot.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Yeah, emotions and history aside, he's shot. He'd be cheap but it's kinda like chasing Ablett. Great for 2 years but now you've lost a kid who is now playing great footy for another club.

Pass for me.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Who else likes visual metaphors?

 

[Hoges64]

Is there a word stronger than cooked?

 

[ossie_21]

Greatest trade we have ever made

I should of worded it better. I meant as in been welcome back at the club i think he will retire.

 

[Testekill]

Nah, **** him. Let him stew for a while longer

Ryan Griffen

 

[Werewolf]

Is there a word stronger than cooked?

Deep fried? Char broiled?

 

[Allan Shorty]

Tough crowd, bulldogs2017. The redemption of Ryan is obviously a ways off.

 

[bontshow]

Griff had a year in 2014 like Adams did in 2016 - struggled so much with injury he started hating his footy. His injury is the same as Michael Clarke's, a degenerative back issue that may settle down from time to time but ultimately ends your career

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

I should of worded it better. I meant as in been welcome back at the club i think he will retire.

I think so, think Peter Gordon has already intimated that he will be.

Time heals most wounds.

"Pig's arse!"

In the same class as Brown, Dempsey, Ward, and the super Judas, Wallace.

Harsh? Yep but when you consider how this lot walked out on us there is no other way of describing them.
Brown and Dempsey basically called us losers and they both chased Premierships which ironically never eventuated for them.
Ward had internal and external influences but had he waited another year, he could have been a Premiership Captain.
Wallace! One week before the end of the season and he bailed. He thought he had the Swans job in the bag. He went on to coach Richmond to one of the most embarrassing periods of their history.

 

[Mingo]

Who's spot does he take? Libba? Wallis? Bont? Hunter?

Pass

 

[Dav1d]

I for one would welcome him back at the club...

As the clubs toilet scrubber

 

[The Original Swooper]

Seems the karma bus hit him in the back. Now it appears that same bus got his ankle as it reversed back over him.

 

[LondonBulldog]

I doubt we would ever be welcomed by to the club and he will never want to come back to the club.

We was a contracted Captain and he chose to bail on the club in need. Will not be back. What for anyway, no successful reunions etc.

We were always going to win in that deal. Best thing that ever happened to the club and I said it at the time.

We needed the shake up!

 

[footyfan000001]

Na no thanks. Rather Sam Reid (GWS) come back to the club and that's saying something.

 

[SlimShaddy]

Ward??

I thought the Dogs refused to offer Ward an extra $50k or something like that even when he was offered much more at GWS otherwise he would have stayed.

Would rather a thread about how to get Ward back.

 

[100action]

Would have him back. Would provide a mature body and be best 22 and allow a hunter or libba more time to craft their game in the VFL.

 

[darthbards]

I wouldn't want Griffen or Ward for that matter anywhere near this group of players.
Maybe Griffen can return one day,and I'm sure he probably will. Can't see any need to let Ward return ever. He only played a few games when he was a kid.
