LISTEN: Huge question over gun Tiger's return, is this midfield too slow?

- There were plenty of injuries out of round one, but none were more disappointing than THIS one - Dion Prestia.

- Once a mighty midfield, it is now showing signs of not being able to keep up to speed with the absolute best.

- Tigers have 'a lot of work to do, and a lot of their players are going to need to get back into form.

7news tonight questioning why Bolton & Edwards weren't used more at centre bounces against Carlton.

We kept handballong to the back of the pac and Carlton just put us under pressure.. I think we should reverse this and push it forward always. It puts the opposition on the back foot. But we would need big bodies and fresh legs. Maybe Josh Caddy to return for bullocking power. Or Rioli for his ability to tackle.

Geez no wonder we were smashed.  Prestia, Edwards and Bolton are our 3 best center square players.  I don't think I've seen Graham get a good clearance ever - he is too reactive and then too slow to influence the clearance.

Wonder if we missed the window. There was interest and we signed him for 4 years. Maybe other clubs will realise his limitations and back off.
