Official Tiger Team -v- Gold Coast (Rd 16)

[Penelope]

I would seriously consider sending Arnot to Ablett.

Would be a great challenge, would learn alot and Junior would certainly know he's been tackled when the Biscuit gets him

send delideo or cotchin to go head to head with him.  ablett is tagged every week and still averages over 30 possies.be brave and put your best player on him and see who can have the most influence, one on one

[yellowandback]

Dea should never play again for the RFC post this year.

A very average footballer indeed.

He'd be dea-vestated to hear you say that.

[RedanTiger]

So still no Tuck.

Coburg vs Frankston - Sunday, July 7
Coburg Tigers: Arnot Tuck Lonergan McGuane Petterd Clifton
Tuck       30 possessions, eight clearances and kicked a goal.
"Had another 30 touches in a terrific inside game.  Coughed the ball up a few times, but played his role extremely well."

Coburg vs Geelong - Sunday, June 30
Coburg Tigers: Petterd Nahas Tuck McBean O'Hanlon
Richmond veteran Shane Tuck excelled in his return from a shoulder injury for Coburg with 31 touches.
"It was great to have Tucky back in the side.  Picked up over 30 possessions and won 8-10 clearances.  He should be ready for an AFL return in the next few weeks."

Good to see Dimwit sticking to his favourites and not taking form into account.

What the Tuck?

[Andyy]

IMO just giving Tuck a runaround in seconds and will surely be recalled for the following three rounds. Need him for the big bodies of Freo, Sydney and Hawthorne.

Remember how many times we've wanted him in the side in the past and Dimma has let us down?

I'd like to see this and from memory dimma did this last year playing cotch head to head vs ablett.

Wp I was actually thinking Vlastuin for the tagging of yabblet ,however Arnott might be even better

Arnot has the pace to go with him and will tackle hard. I think it might be a good move also.

Agreed an extra couple of weeks won't hurt he'll get his 25's whether for Coburg or Richmond.

[TigerTimeII]

houli??? whats the go with him?

[bojangles17]

 

houli??? whats the go with him?

Hammy

[Tiger Tragic]

houli??? whats the go with him?

Hammy

Only after dark.

[Yeahright]

Our third tall keeps getting shorter and shorter 

[Judge Roughneck]

Omg Jackson is fit

[mightytiges]

A hammy is usually a minimum two weeks.

Surprised Tucky isn't in given we were smashed around the contests last week but we have brought in another hard at it mid in Arnot. Good to big Ivan back in. He missed the Cairns game last year and we had to 'rely' on Derickx and Graham in the ruck instead  .


Out of interest there's a whopping 12 changes to the side since last year's Cairns game:

Out: Batchelor, Dea, Derickx, Graham, Houli, A.Maric, McGuane, Moore, Nahas, O'Hanlon, Tuck, Webberley.

In: Martin, Petterd, I.Maric, Jackson, Chaplin, A.Edwards, King, Vickery, Vlastuin, White, Foley, Arnot

So on paper the side is far far stronger than last year's. Mind you the Suns are obviously playing better and more consistent footy at 5-9 than last year when they came into this game winless . It's above the shoulders where we now have to show that last week was just a one off bad game where "we didn't turn up to play".
