Has improved with every game, hopefully he can keep it going. Was impressive at the bottom of the packs on Saturday 

Yep.  Doesn't soothe the Chicken Little's angst but good signs.

[Penelope]

Axe is getting better with each outing.
Absolutely wrapped that the foot problems seem to be behind him.

Should be back to his best mid year.

[10 FLAGS]

No where near the foley of old at the moment. Hopefully he can show his still got it soon enough.

Last night was the first time this year I thought we saw glimpses of the old Foley. 24 possies, 5 clearances and 9 tackles.

From today's Age....

Foley said the Tigers enjoyed their victory on Sunday but have quickly turned their attention to Saturday night's game against the winless Brisbane Lions at the MCG.

Runner-up in Richmond's 2007 best-and-fairest award, Foley played only four games last year as he battled calf, ankle and Achilles injuries.

But after his 24-possession performance against North, the talented midfielder is simply happy to be playing a role each week.

The 25-year-old from Colac believes Sunday's round-five triumph was the first time he had sung the Tigers' club song with his teammates since round 10, 2009.

''It was good to get a few touches. But it was just a relief to get the win,'' Foley told richmondfc.com.au.

''I sort of felt like one of the new guys singing the song. It's a fantastic feeling. It's fantastic to get a good solid pre-season in.

''Now playing consistent football and also being able to train consistently, it makes a big difference.

''It was really close at the end, so when the final siren went it was certainly more a feeling of relief than excitement.''

career is over.

yep, should have traded him when he had currency

i mentioned this a week or so ago in another thread i was told by someone every close to him  that his yr was over and looks like his ankle is stuffed for life

[TigerLand]

Foley stuck up a big FU tonight to everyone who said his career was over.

Without being amazing 40 touches in a game of AFL football would suggest that your probably consider "back".

[Infamy]

Just shows how good our midfield is going to be now we have too many good players to shut down
He handpassed too much, but to see where he's at after only 6 games is great to see
Top 10 amount of handpasses ever in a game with 28, however seeing as Ablett Jnr is #1 with 33 I'd say it's not a terrible record to hold

[Francois Jackson]

Great game. gee what a game he played. He was everywhere

Hope he can build on this and we can package him up in a deal to get Scully to Punt Road.

[TigerLand]

A midfield is always dangerous when you have more than 3 players that need to be tagged.

Martin, Cotchin, Foley and chuck in Deledio and you have a real headache for opposition coaches.

[Francois Jackson]

I agree and i love Foley dont get me wrong but i would love a young Scully also. Im just hoping the club does all it can to get him to Punt Road, especially if the Dees continue their woeful season.

Then we are talking a serious midfield not many clubs can match.

We can give them an out-and-out gun in McGuane
