Yeah or Neah - 8. Thomas Roach
« on: August 29, 2006, 06:48:55 PM »
Lids, Blingers, Simmo, Browny are safe while Chaff has announced his retirement which means Tommy Roach is next up.

8 games in his debutant year (2004) but only 1 senior appearance in each of the last two years under Wallace. Tommy was unlucky copping a broken jaw once he got back into the seniors but hasn't returned since and spent the rest of this year at Coburg. Uncontracted. Anyone willing to give him another year or is he gone?

It is a neah for me as well.  Unlucky in regards to jaw injury.  Unlikely to be given another contract

Neah from me as well. His form at Coburg over the last few 6-7 weeks hasn't been great for a bloke under the pump

Disappointing about the fractured jaw I will admit.

I think you can make the a pretty strong case that there are so many other young blokes have gone past him

I'd off load him myself, but I think the club will give him a little more time. Hell look at the amount of time they have given Moore. Roach for another year.

I haven't seen him play much, except in the seniors, but you'd think if he was worth keeping around he'd be given a chance in the seniors more. Neah for me.

Being the son of a Tiger champion I was keen to see him do well but other than a good quarter against West Coast he has shown much. But then again he has been emergency for the seniors the last few weeks so TW must be seeing something that we are not. Reluctantly for me I say neah - maybe delist and then pick up as a rookie

I am pretty sure Moore has been on the seniors list 1 year less than Tom Roach. Moore and Roach have both been at the Club the same amount of time. Roach started on the senior list and Moore on the rookie list.

Agree that Roach should be delisted, and that a pre-season competition should be held between Jacko & Roach for a rookie list spot.

i think that Moore, Roach and Jackson should all be delisted.

None of these guys deserve a rookie spot.

Why waste time with people we already know are no good.

Better off putting some under 18's who miss out on the draft on the rookie list.

It's time to go..........................Thomas
and take Annie and Clarabel with you also ;D

Really!!! Moore to me seems like he's been around the place on any of the lists for years. I'm sure Moore has been at the club longer.
