We've played one third of the season so probably a good time to do a bit of a review of where we all see the Tiges are at:

1) What have you liked about the Tiges so far this year?

2) What haven't you liked / where do we still need to improve?

3) Individually, who has impressed and/or surprised you so far this year?

4) Who has been disappointing and/or has not come on as you had hoped/expected?

1) What have you liked about the Tiges so far this year?
Their depth and class in the midfield.

2) What haven't you liked / where do we still need to improve?
Tackling pressure and ability to run out games

3) Individually, who has impressed and/or surprised you so far this year?
Really impressed by Lids and King. Have been surprized by McGuane and Jackson to be honest - have actually offered something this year. Tiggers seems to be already showing something.

4) Who has been disappointing and/or has not come on as you had hoped/expected?
Maric must be playing injured because he is down on last year. Vickery has had a slow start too.

1) What have you liked about the Tiges so far this year?  Midfield depth

2) What haven't you liked / where do we still need to improve?  Need to find a forward. Jack should be No 2 to a Travis Cloke type.

3) Individually, who has impressed and/or surprised you so far this year? Lids might even get a vote from me at the end of the year

4) Who has been disappointing and/or has not come on as you had hoped/expected?  Ty Vickery

We've played one third of the season so probably a good time to do a bit of a review of where we all see the Tiges are at:

1) What have you liked about the Tiges so far this year?
Our speed when where on!!,

2) What haven't you liked / where do we still need to improve?
Our fade outs for 10 min periods in games and when we muck around with the pill.

3) Individually, who has impressed and/or surprised you so far this year?
Reece Conca when he was playing, seems to have gone up a level..

4) Who has been disappointing and/or has not come on as you had hoped/expected?
Ivan has not had the impact at this point of season thus far, still waiting.

1/ the only thing i can think of is we beat carlton and got a bogey off the back. midfield depth hmm i dont think so. imo we were playing much better footy this time last yr.
2/ sheesh where does one begin.  at the top of the list  footskills and decision making remains a huge problem. the way we structure up a lot of the time. a huge reliance on too few.
3/ very impressed with vlastuin.
4/ geez where to begin. i supose ill keep it to two. rance makes the same mistakes  vickery is well lets just say hes been poor.

 i can honestly ask have we improved on last yr  at all. we continue to lose to top 8 sides and we continue to beat sides around and below us. we continue to make the same sort of mistakes and continue to play glass half fulls.

1. Winning games without necessarily playing well.
2. Our defensive efforts all round the ground have been worse than last year. Much better against Port.
3. Vlastuin; S.Edwards' inside hands; Looking forward to McBeanstalk!
4. Disappointed in the dropping of Griffiths after only one game. This guy has all the equipment to be anything. Someone needs to back him in (like they do with Rance)!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
