He was meant to play in the WAFL, withdrew. Withdrew after he was required to play for Freo
He was meant to do an interview with foxtel at qtr time, withdrew. He was playing, no players do interviews at quarter time
Griffin has a mysterious injury during the warm up yet apparently sprinted off the ground looking fine.  Where is the proof of this?

Its suss. It means nothing though, Freo were the better side and Richmond should have been prepared for Sandi reguardless but Ross Lyon is an A-grade Bulls**t artist

Ross Lyon tell it straight up - all year if he has said something he has followed through.  Maybe you should watch his press conferences more often (and other media commitments) before making this assessment.

All week leading up to selections the media statements were that Sandi was in the mix to play this game.  So if Dimma was not prepared for Sandi then I question his role as coach and not preparing for this.

- He wasnt required to play for freo at that point, he was an emergency and Griffen was playing. They knew sandi was playing though
- The interview was cancelled on thursday.. Because they knew he was going to play.... I know players dont do interviews when they are playing. Thats my point! they knew he was playing on thursday.
-The proof of Griffen sprinting from the ground I heard about on AFL 360 during the week. And during the coverage of the game Brereton was interviewing Lyon before the game and joked that Griffen looked fine when he came off during the warm up and Lyon got all defensive about it.

No one is denying that he wasnt in the mix to play but the fact is on game day its a bit unsportsman like to fake an injury and bring in a player that was always really going to play. Its typical Ross Lyon crap.
And no it didnt change the result of the game.. Freo were better but its still a bit of a dodgey move

So explain Griffin not training yesterday for Freo
