Would Hook do that ?

I wonder if Griffin would have considered playing a train & trial player who has only played 2 Q cup games in 2 yrs as Bellamy did with Tyson Smoothy, who coincidently was ear marked by Bennett to be McCullough's successor when he was in the Bronco's system.
I suppose it's better to go with an ageing player coming of a major injury then looking at the future.
Bellamy blooded Tino slowly at first, until he was a regular bench player & will do so with another young kid coming through this year in Loiero, while our once great coach sat them on the bench for 80.
Lets hope we have a coach who isn't afraid to blood some players & show some faith in them for the future.

The coaching staff get to see a lot during training. I think Griffen, Bennett and other good first grade coaches would do the same. Thanks Muzby

Craig Bellamy has the golden touch & is untouchable. Griffen was on 2GB last year & now on a 2yr trail contract.

Expect Griffin to make percentage decisions rather than gamble on unproven players.

I don’t know. I do know as a recruitment officer, Hook suggested Cameron Smith when others had rejected him.
