I've heard clubs are after the Beefcake. Will they be stealing his no.1 supporter too...

[Coach]

Port have been after me and Schulzy since the drink driving incident in 2005. I have not budged.

We're still mates arent we, Tigs?

Very insightful post.

I think our depth of 22 was shown on saturday.

It seems that successful teams can be split into 4 groups of 6.

Our top 6 guns, second tier, 3rd and 4th tiers. Successful clubs have a great 4th and sometimes 5th tier.
I think we have a great 1st tier, 2nd tier OK but not as strong as the top 6 clubs but we are running out towards the start/middle of our third tier and then the differences are probably not obvious. Add to that the fact that players are injured, improving and ageing then you get a lot of movement within the clubs playing group.

Would be interesting to run a poll ? on where our players sit within our list and who is moving up, who is coming down and who is static.

Quite amazing to think that McGuane played nearly every game last year and Tucky struggled for a spot. Look at this year, Tucky a gun and McGuane gone, and Jackson has played nearly every game for the last how long (except for suspension) The question with Jackson is if we don't play him who else is there with the level of intensity and maturity required?

Overall our list is improving but we need more strength in our bottom tiers. I think you will see that a player like Morris is pretty well in our 2nd 6, Maric (I) has leapt up to our top 6, Houli has probably slipped, Grieg has lifted and so on an so forth.

At the end of the day it is not a 2 season fix and coaches like Wallace have done us no favours.

Our list manager seems to be doing a great job so it is a matter of patience I guess.

Tigers for flag 2015

2013 is gonna be busy.

lets hope we have stepped
up next year some on that list
might be evaluating their position
within the club.

[the claw]

okay this is the obvious place to ask.

how many do most supporters think we need to turn over this yr.

for me i would like to see somewhere betwen 8 and 10 including rookies.

lets remember we  already have 3 very good picks  1st 2nd rounders plus pa compensation pick. we already have maybe 4 picks in the top 50.
 id be shocked if we did not utilise 5 nd and one psd pick that means we must cut 6 from the list proper as a starting point. we have a rookie spot available with decisions to be made on miller heslin gone  we should have at least 3 rookie picks as a starting point.
9 new faces is a minimum i would expect.
finding 9 to go from both the list proper and rookie list can be done with your eyes closed.

what we as supporters think, and what the club do are 2 very different things. They should cut 8-10 this year given the depth of midfielders in this years draft, but they wont..

[gerkin greg]

Straight up

From the rookies: A.Maric, Heslin, Miller

From the senior list: McDonald, McGuane, Webberley

That's 6 without blinking


Then there will be decisions made on Moore & Connors

Will they persist with Post & Derickx?

Then there's Greg


7 or 8 turned over is my guess
