Send Vickery to Perth for big Zach Clarke

Is it true they won the toss and kicked into the wind again??

Morris kicked with it. Heard he won't captain again 

[Penelope]

 The biggest disappointment for me was McBean. He just couldn't find his way into the game and for a tall forward to not kick a goal was quite disappointing.


 

Only 27 Inside 50's didn't help his cause....was ordinary in the contests but at least he had a basic idea of where to run and where to be......unlike a few others.

ffs after how many yr you would hope thats the case. i keep on saying it pea hearts never ever really make it. the trouble is this bloke plays like a millionare he actually thinks he belongs. fact is hes ordinary and hes been ordinary for what hes in yr 7. geez we go crook about hamspud give me the carlton hack any day.

LMFAO

IF ever it was needed, there is the confirmation.......

[🏅Dooks]

Hamspud actually did ok in the ruck and beat Minson and Co I thought. Around the ground went missing of course but yeah.

Vickery...well, yeah. He really doesn't work for most of his goals. More of an opportunist than a work horse/contester.  I can see why the club will be giving him game time - he could be so much more if he applied himself. Not a fan of the pea heart but I guess we'll be seeing more of him this year.

[Lozza]

With some stars returning, more midfield firepower and therefore some dominance coming out of the middle and we will then see who will really has what it takes up forward. Yesterday the delivery into the forward line whether with or against the breeze was pretty haphazard at best so any forward will struggle under those circumstances. Hopefully conditions for forwards are good for the next game against Port and we can really see of the fringe dweller forwards who is going to put their hand up.

Vickery's body language doesn't do himself any favours, very laconic and tends to look like someone who has the sulks, am sure that's not the case (all the time) but its most peoples perception of him. If delivery to him is in the right areas (he still needs to get there) then i am one of those people who still thinks he can play a part this season. Still believe we are screaming out for an X-Factor small forward, hopefully we target someone via free agency.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

I was actually impressed a little by Shaun Clampsem. Has to find another gear but that should be the bare minimum of what he provides week in week out.

Vickery has officially lost me

You were impressed by the big spud? Maybe your easily pleased .

Anyway welcome aboard the Ty "sideshow bob" Vickery disapproval society, nice to have you aboard. There is still room in the Hamspud hatred committee if you ever come to your senses.

Thought Hampson rucked well today

And the 4-6 free kicks he didn't receive by being in front and pushed out of the boundary throw ins were unbelievable
Watched the replay when I go home from game and it was highlighted there
Poor umpiring

Read the post again santa - talking about McBean, not Vickery.

..and Hamspud's a pea heart as well.....half the reason he makes so many basic skill errors is because he shytes himself.....I'd rather bring back Graham...

Angus has signed up with Albury this year

[eliminator]

Not fussed by loss. Never read to much into practice matches. As long as no injuries do not care about the result.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I didn't mind losing the game - just thought we leaked too many inside 50s and were too easily beaten in the clearances. Basic pressure acts were missing and besides Vlastuin and Miles we didn't have any AFL standard players on the park.

[Yeahright]

BOG for me was Vlastuin closely followed by Arnot & Miles. Elton was good - would be a real boost if he could  become a presence in defence - though let's not get too carried away about him just getting the better of a second year player in a practice match. Mcdonough, Vickery, Gordon & Grigg (suprise )were all shyte.
Good to see Hamspud has now added giving away dumb frees to his repetoire of uselessness. Such a cruel twist that he's also our only genuine tap ruckman (10 out of 10 Stringers agree.) Lloyd was alright. Vickery looked like he's still sooking over not getting his place back from Griffiths for the finals and wants out. Hunt was disappointing IMO. Knights showed his talent but not much impact. Pettard & Morris should've swapped roles, but hey supercoach knows best.
Best of the new brigade was Butler...Lambert looks smart but seemed to fade away....loved McKenzie's kick to McBean late in the match - for a young kid his size to be able to do that whilst fatigued is impressive.... all others showed glimpses except Drummond who was crap,  but no-one really made you sit up and say "we could have a real a real player here" - usually there's at least one especially when you draft so many kids, so hopefully someone will put in a real eye-catcher in the next two games.

There were a few other things that concerned me but it's still early days and I really can't be arsed going into it and raising the ire of all the happy clappers & eternal 12 year-olds who'd still wear their old duffle coats if they could so - Go Tiges yay!!!!

Shouldn't of bothered giving any of your pessimistic, sooky opinions then because that last paragraph just makes you seem like a big fat girl

Ironic much?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Colonic munch?

[the claw]

Thoughts on Elton? Thought he showed why we have been persistent with him but still lacks that next level

I was actually impressed a little by Shaun Clampsem. Has to find another gear but that should be the bare minimum of what he provides week in week out.

Vickery has officially lost me

really? Vickery has upside i think but his chances are running out.

Hampson has had plenty of chances and sorry to say will always be an average footballer.

also mate i didnt watch a minute of the game as i dont rate these bull poo matches.

Then why question it and what does upside and plenty of chances got to do with my opinion of him in this one particular game?

defended quite well but did nothing else, id say grimes was similar.

[WA Tiger]

Elton , Hampson, Miles, went well.

Still not impressed with Batch and Morris...

Overall not concerned with the result at all, we went well considering.
