Dimma actually defended Selwood tonight over the collision with Mansell's head.

Dimma mentioned that they spoke at length about this at match committee today. We teach our players to step over the ball. It was the correct technique by Joel and poor by Rhyan who has only be in our system for a short while.

Dimma added that this head high stuff is creeping back into the game. Not saying Rhyan did this but players are leading with their head, dropping their knees and shrugging their shoulders. In these days with concussion, we shouldn't have seniors players setting that example for juniors by attracting the umpires and playing for free kicks. It makes the umpires' job harder and should be frowned upon also from a coaching view.

AFL-listed North Launceston premiership player Rhyan Mansell had (a) day to remember this weekend with strong individual performances.

Mansell, who was picked up via the supplementary selection period in February, collected a career-high 15 disposals in the Tigers' shock 16-point loss to Collingwood.

Returning to the AFL last weekend as the medical substitute, Mansell's new-best effort also featured five rebound 50s and should see him retain his spot in the side given the Tigers' injury woes.

I really am enjoying watching this kid play. He isn’t weak nor is he shy to take the game on and backs himself in, most importantly he can kick and he doesn’t take any crap from anyone.

Ticks all the boxes and we should keep playing him now.

We have found a great player outside the draft yet again.

I am so disappointed in the team for playing Houli over him. Houli should be there for when Mansell needs a rest, that's it.

Also need to be getting games into Miller before season's end. Garth has no future with us. Astbury playing ok again but should also be depth by now.

What I like is he plays to his limitations

Sticks to what he's good at and doesn't try to over do things

Thought he did a good job. Much better than Garthwaite. With time, experience and a bit of muscle could be a very good player

The others on On the Couch were dismissive of this ::) but Nick Riewoldt last night showed Mansell flying from the side into a pack to spoil and praised Rhyan for his courage. Nick said that's how a young player earns respect from the rest of the playing group.

Adam Kingsley's comments on Mansell:

"He does have a crack defensively...He's got a really nice blend at the moment of being able to attack but also defend. He's got a little bit of 'Shorty' about him in that he can run and carry and really penetrate with his kick. He has a nice kick and he's starting to find a bit more of the ball. We're quite pleased with how our backs are going and how they've slotted in...There are going to be some difficult decisions towards the end of the season...They're really working hard and trying to cement their spots which is great."

Exactly what he was talking about.
