Tigers shirked contests says skipper Trent Cotchin (Age)

[Mr Magic]

Lol at Lids not putting his head over the ball. stuff me dead.

Yeah that was harsh. Stand by the others though.

[Muscles]

No one subbed out of the ressies game yet.  It seems fanciful that players could come up for a game after a four day break, unless they've been Danked.  It's beyond belief that Dimma would go with the same 22 against the Lions .... or maybe not? 

[Judge Roughneck]

Lids is courageous

To say otherwise is poor form

[Coach]

So which players will 'put their head' over the ball?

As I see it..

Thomas
Conca
Cotchin
Rance
Morris
Vlastuin
Grimes
ShEdwards
Astbury
Maric
King
Foley
Arnot
Newman
Jackson

Who doesn't..

Grigg
Ellis
Gordon
Deledio
Houli
Griffiths
Martin
Chaplin
Hampson
Riewoldt
Vickery

Have not ever seen Martin refuse to put his head over the footy. Deledio is solid at it as are Hampson & Griffiths.

Yeah, Shane Edwards aka The Warrior is a hard nut and those blokes are soft.

What's happened to Ellis?  In his first year he didn't shirk a contest.  This year he has shirked several in front of me…..

He really has got ahead of himself!

He did shirk a few in year 1 especially very early in the season, ditto year 2

Just think it's become more obvious this year because of the higher profile he seems to have = face of m'ship campaign/commercial and the junior program (Brando's Buddies).

Maybe they are more glaringly obvious this year but he had a reputation as a junior of being tough and uncompromising.

[Coach]

He was horribly soft in his first season, so much so that it hurt the team in some games. And apart from one game this year he has gone back to that.

saving themselves for the Dawks gig

This is the best thing I've heard Cotchin say as a captain. Good on him. Hopefully growing as a leader ?

Watched about 2 minutes of McGuire and Brereton's new show tonite. It was painful so I quickly changed channels but not before I saw Dermott highlight one piece of play from Bachar Houli and make a big deal of it. Dermott was 100% right. Really , really soft and ordinary from Bachar. He simply ran away from the contest. We will never be a good team if Dimma tolerates that.
