shpt at it.

Has to be Lambert or Miles, but hard to judge Miles cause he can't get a game.

Should be Prestia by some margin, however its a toss up between him and Lambert for mine. Perhaps Prestia just shades him with his handballing in the clinches, but I votes for Lambert. :whistle

Fully fit, Prestia - last 3-4 weeks starting to showwhy he was rated so highly at the suns

I think what that list shows is we are light on with young onball talent.

If we can get lucky with Graham, that would help imencly as he is a genuine mid.

We should never at any stage have Grigg in the centre as an onballer.

We seem to have a lot of young flankers and wingman on our list but not many KPP or genuine onballers.

Exactly the point of the thread. Congrats  :clapping

It is a hard toss up between miles and Lambert. Lambert for gut running and always bring the outlet for chasing and being composed under pressure.

Miles for his quality inside work and releasing cotch and Martin to be damaging and gain some metres for us

Graham, Edwards, Lambert, Prestia in good nick helps  :cheers

Almost sad to think how far Miles has fallen down the rankings. If he is traded hopefully it's a strong deal For the tigers

I still highly rate Miles. Has shown a lot when he came back in after the tigers got belted by the Saints. I thought it was rough he was dropped for being run down in the Hawks game

Don't think we get anything for Miles, if he gets picked up, but I could be wrong

Miles would be a perfect fit for Carlton or Brisbane even the Gold Coast.
In a weak draft I can see one of those teams paying overs for him. I wouldn't be surprised to get a late second early 3rd round pick for him.
Maybe I'm dreaming but you never know.

There's a fair bit of residual prejudice against Grigg because of his first few years at Richmond. But he is clearly our third best mid, by some margin, especially this season. I used to think he was almost a liability, but he's been fantastic this season. He's kicked goals, pinch-hits in the ruck and racks up more disposals than Lambert and Prestia, who'd be his closest rivals. In fact, given his ruck workload, there's an argument that we'd miss his presence more than Cotchin.

That would be a shame.

He's a pretty good player IMO. Graham is pretty much a bigger young version though...  :whistle

It we cannot get anything keep him or depth...  Although I assume he will wanna leave

Grigg is a very bad kick. Kicked goals? Missed a few too

Rich v Geekong: Griggy Most errors on the ground, after clangerfield. Didn't get the ball much either... That makes four shyte finals. He is soft and slow too. His ruck work would make beny hill smile.  Zero hit outs as well - we would miss this massively   :huh

Not only if he not our 3rd best mid, he isn't in the best side; some of the kids or Morris (blokes a nutter) Lloyd (goals, possessions) Miles (inside-strong) all bring more tricks to the party.

Let's hope he doesn't go full squib mode the next two game. If we get offered a third / four rounder would be insane to reject it. Brin a better player in and open cap space ... If you really think he's of more value to the team of better at football than Prestia thats amazing

That last line you added about grigg > cotchin is pure trolling. Not nice or funny.

lets be honest here if grigg was a part of a flag we would be forever grateful and he would be like a hero to all of us, along with the coach, pres, magnet dude, gerks, and anyone else who has ever appeared on this site.

Grigg is just so unremarkable. I can't think of anything memorable and iconic he has ever done. At least with Ellis I have witnessed him laying game saving tackles or running back with flight to take a game saving mark (rare but it does happen) I have fond memories of Mile, I can say the same for Vlastuin, etc etc but Grigg? He just runs down the wing unchecked and bombs it inside 50 with no real purpose rainmaker style. Not to mention his set shot kicking is poo

It would take me a fair bit this week to get wound up Matty.

What a night that was last Friday. It's been a long time coming for someone like me who loves just watching footy, and watching the Tiges play like they did last week after the year they had last year was really special. Its fair to say my love for the club had taken a hit the last 12 months.

I knew we had improved but now I think we can actually win it...And I can honestly say I've never felt that before.

The irony of it all is, my wife works at the AFL and I've been to every Grand Final since 2001 but this year GF tickets aren't a given. Can you believe it!!

I hope you get to experience the grand final this year BT . We have all gone through so much pain , this year really has turned into something special .

I think you can trust the tigers this year . They will take some beating in the prelim . Personally I think WCE or GWS will poop themselves next week .
