Didn't like the supplements the coach was demanding the players take.
Coach has done the right thing and resigned.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
Definitely no captain, despite there being no coach. Ouch.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
WE can still win out of this - GWS continue as before, trade with us for pick 1, then if the dogs won't budge they take Petracca, or offer the Dogs pick 1 and a mid range player for Griffin and pick 6.
That or the Dogs get 4 & 7 for Griffin and trade us pick 4 & 6 for pick 1 to guarantee getting whatever tall it is that they supposedly have their eye on.

Your comments are turning a bit but you are completely wrong to suggest the WB wanted him out. Once he has left then they realised it could be good for them. They had 100% nothing to do with him leaving and to suggest he has a contract and doesn't care what is said about him is completely ridiculous.
Nothing worse than a "You are wrong as 'I know more than you but I'm not going to tell type of dick"
There is nothing to tell. Wanted out because of the coach. The club never wanted him out. Now its all to late I reckon but who knows.
Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
This just does not add up - why would Griffen go to a team lower on the ladder and for less money. I think there is more to play out with this one.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

It's his mate Callum Ward. When they start their rise the world will sit up and notice.

Now Boyd out of the blue nominates he wants a trade to the WB. Yeah of course Griffen wasnt asked if he'd be up for a trade.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
So this was all a grand scheme to oust the coach, trade the captain (who was also in on it), lie about it to everybody in the football world, in order to wind up with Tom Boyd?CURLY wrote:plugger66 wrote:CURLY wrote:Lol yes of course the GWS offer is less.

Your theory is getting more laughable by the minute. Have you actually heard all the flack Griffin has copped and you are saying he wouldn't get on the front foot and say it was the WB idea or at least his manager wouldn't. Its illogical and worst of all completely wrong.

Listen to Luke Darcy at all this morning? Amazing that he said Griffen made the sacrafice that will see the Dogs get a gun key forward.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
Curly, I am trying to get my head around your theory, correct me if I am interpreting what you are saying wrongly;
- McCartney decides to put Griffen up for trade
- Griffen agrees to this occurring but says that it is his idea and that the club wants him to stay
- McCartney gets sacked/resigns because he put Griffen up for trade and the rest of the club was against it
- Griffen still says that he wants to leave despite the only person who wanted to trade him being gone
- now because Tom Boyd has asked for a trade to the dogs, that was the end result they had in mind all along.
Its like a M.Night Shyamalan film, so many twists.

The more you write the more laughable it gets. He made the sacrifice but also cops all the heat. Yep that makes so much sense. He has copped it from everyone. You do understand the role of a manager is to look after their players. Do you honestly think a manager would allow this character assassination if it was the WB idea. Curly have your mates laughed at you when you suggested this? Or were they kind to you?
