Agree. We need to make a call on a lot of guys this year but I reckon we will hang onto them.

Claw if you bothered to check this years stats you would find that Vickery and Griffiths are almost on a par for their overall stats.

Putrid as always. I watched him really closely today and I hate to say it but he hates body contact. Not an ideal sport for someone who does. Couldn't even tackle boys today. Not once ..
I hope I never see this imposter ever again in a Tigers jumper. I just can't have him.

Agree Chucky. 7 marks is a decent return overall but there were periods where he went missing. Mind you TV does the same.

If Griffs had dobbed the couple of long goals he missed then his impact on the game would've been more substancial.

I'd put Big Ben on Jakey Carlisle and let's see what he can do - versitility wise. I'd bring in the string beaner to take his place in the forward line and ask Eeeevan to take up the on onouros task of basically rucking the entire match.

The key to winning next week is stopping Carlisle. Rance has been amazing this year but isn't big enough to beat him one on one.
Chaplain will need to be at his "3rd man in" best to help Big Ben.
If it's wet, then I'd bring in McDonuts to crumb up forward.

I thought he went fine. Was serviceable in the ruck, provided a get out kick it down the line target, took some nice marks, chased and tackled. Increase his possessions by half dozen and we have a winner.

Took some good marks. Pity missed two gettable shots for him.

when he gets the ball he should put it into orbit every time rather than these half assed controlled kicks

He need to always lead , no good trying to take on 2or 3 defenders in a pack situation.  - poor coaching ?
But played a pretty good game overall.

Yes frustrating seeing him call for it over the top.

Leads straight and marks.

And FFS why do we keep kicking to the pockets? Seems only Shedwards can jag them from that angle...somehow...

Didn't have a tackle according to the stats.  :whistle
