All I want for Christmas is.....
« on: December 20, 2016, 06:09:02 AM »
Well here we are again, quiet time of year on this forum save for the odd angry shot.
So, in a Tiger sense, what do you wish for Christmas?
I'd like an out of the box year from Shai Bolton. Say 30 goals, 300 possies and a couple of contenders for mark of the year.
He reminds me of Michael Mitchell, I'd like to see if bit of that action in 2017.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

A premiership. If not, finish low on the ladder and give plenty of game time to the future instead of your Griggs, Houlis and Hampson types.

Sack Hardwick. Clean out remaining recruitment dinosaurs, and hit 2018 with two more early first rounders (with Geelong finishing bottom).

Dusty Martin"s signature on a long term contract at tigerland.

That's not being too greedy, is it?

I was thinking $750k for 5.  Surely $3.75mill is enough for a guy like Dusty. Isn't Dangerfield on $800k?

Dusty signed long-term.

Nankervis becomes a bone fide ruck.

Astbury + Griffiths stay injury-free and actually live up to their potential.

Rioli continues to improve.

Graham turns out to be ready-made, slots into the inside midfield, and makes everybody look silly for overlooking him.

Cotchin finds his 2012 form.

The coaching staff change their game plan to something fast, attacking, and suitable to Jack.

Continued improvement from Markov, McIntosh, Short, Castagna, Vlastuin etc.



Is this too much to ask? :(

Have you got a link for that? Not that I don't believe you. It's just that I've never heard that.

I'd say if that happens, we finish top 4.
