Jonny Griffin leaving Adelaide.

[ManicMiner]

...wants to move back to Perth for "personal reasons"

Blow to Crows - which WA club will get him or needs him most??

I would reckon Freo, seeing as Sandilands has played on his own in the ruckus this year.

“Jon has told his coach Neil Craig and their football manager that he wants to be traded back to Western Australia,” Young said.

Kepler is better than that spud.

 

[ziad]

we already have JON as a rookie. I can not see room for Jon
every club should have one speculator but not two

He has shown a bit this year as a second ruck, but he could not pick two worse clubs to choose from. Bradley offers flexiblity (like Hawkins at Geelong and Brown at Collingwood) while there's no way he'll get a game at WCE while Cox is on the list. If he headed to Melbourne he would easily get a game at Hawthorn or Richmond.

Blow to the club he ends up at more like it

 

[aneale]

are we trading him to the Demons for Andrew Jarman? Its the only type of footy he will get in WA.

I honestly do not get professional footballers who whine about going home when he would be better off at other clubs who need ruckmen. TBH, neither Adelaide club has a ruck division worth writing home about and he could get a gig in Victoria and at GC before the likelihood of him getting picked at either WA Clubs.

I don't get it either. Sure going home would have its appeals, but he has the rest of his life to live in Perth once he retires. He's not a Judd or a Wanganeen or will step into any side. If he went to the GC or Melbourne he would get a game almost every week. One of the WA clubs will sign him up but he won't get too many games early on.

massive blow to the crows

“He has no issues with the Adelaide football club, but he has a very serious personal reason that has prompted his decision not to seek a new contract with the Crows."


Settle down guys. You never know whats going on in his personal life.

 

[Sin City]

So who's actually staying at the Crows?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

We would get more AFL game time at Fremantle than he would at West Coast, that's for sure

 

[PrideOf]

massive blow to the crows

Stop it. My sides are aching.



Still haven't added that extra i to Brillance, have you champ?

 

[twentydollarnote]

1st round draft pick for sure

 

[JUBJUB]

Could the last one out please turn the lights off

 

[Leather Poisoning]

What if neither of those sides want him?

I'm sure one of them will but what if they didn't? Would he go and play in the WAFL?

Neil.

 

[Smoooothy]

our premiership window just got slammed shut

his manager would of checked before he asked to leave you would think.

yeah all that development on easily the most talent up and coming ruckman in the comp.

geeze I hope we get something for him, its worse than losing Bock

 

[sidneyshaw]

erm, has anyone seen him play?

the guy is heinous at best

 

[Phone]

haters gonna hate. all you haters are just jealous he doesn't want to come to your club.

 

[Rob]

I'd imagine West Coast will offer him a spot in their leadership group.

Really JUBJUB?

Only the 15th time ive seen that one...

Lets face it, Griff's a spud, we've given himgame time this year due to a lack of decent ruckmen on our list, so if he wants to go play WAFL, so be it

 

[pjcrows]

Griffin for Pavlich, Hill + first rounder or the deal is off.

 

[crowralph]

eagles should take him. i think that they need a designated back up for cox. natanui can be the 2nd ruckman who could easily develop into kpf or even on the ball. he'll definately play a bit of wafl, but he'll be cheap in terms of contract and trade value.
