A player who carries enormous external expectations, it was a mixed season for Griffen in 2009. Was below par from rounds 7-11 when he averaged just 17 disposals, but improved from that point, averaging 23 possessions in his other 17 games and increasing his defensive output. At his best, he can be a damaging player and Bulldog fans are looking for him to become an A-grade midfielder.

Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2005.

Brownlow Medal: 2009 votes 4; career votes 20.

Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft priority selection (Western Bulldogs) No. 3 overall.
