Where do you see Putt and Gourdis playing for us?

Gourdis on a wing playing a richo role, but if he can kick straight he could become a very decent full forward option.
Putt I see as a potential full forward who can take a turn in the ruck.

[Stripes]

Gourdis could be anything. I also agree wit you about Putt in the forwardline also. Gus will step up soon and take more of the rucking duties also.

Danny Meyer getting through games and moving freely is a positive as well.

Last year he really struggled but the last couple of weeks he has looked good and very fit

[Stripes]

WP - is Meyer worth a game? Where are his strengths? I would love to see Meyer prove all those who thought he was a draft mistake and should be traded, wrong. 

I'm hoping we see Meyer break onto the seen this year and become an important part of our team.

Fingers crossed

Stripes,

Danny's played the last 3 weeks for the Coburg ressies. Certainly not starring but at least running around as opposed to labouring around like he did at times with the injured hip. To me that's a positive especially after 2007

At the moment he needs match fitness. Obviously the next step is Coburg seniors. BTW he has been playing off the HBF in the ressies with some time in the mid field

It is tough this week because the ressies again have the bye and the 12/10 rule applies to the seniors this week because they are playing stand alone Tassie. I reckon he will play Coburg seniors soon, whether he shows enough to get an AFL gig well that's up to Danny I suppose.

I don't think anyone can doubt his ability, super talented kid but I reckon as it is with a lot of the talented kids it depends on how bad they want it

WP l could look good playing VFL seconds 

[Stripes]

Thanks William. I'm very hopeful that our faith in him is warranted and his pre-draft potential is fufilled. I think with his height and skills he would be a tremendous long term asset to the team if only he can stay injury free.

Another positive at the moment is our second half draw. We we have the potential to come home strong with a much easier list of opposition teams than our first part of the year. I would love to see us play the kids and start to regularly win with them. This would give our list more self belief in themselves, the team plan and each other.

I know it isn't always but I think winning games this year will be a positive. The bottom of the ladder won't move from here on end and the 8 is unlikely to change so if we are going to finish between 9th and 12th we might as well have some joy on the way.

Fair point Monk

But the point I was trying ot make was that he is actually running freely, without any sign of that hip problem he had. Last year he really struggled to get through games, struggled with the lateral movement, couldn't change direction to save himself  . This year he's been doing that. As I said next step is Coburg seniors and then ....

I reckon it is always a positive when a bloke who's had real injury problems starts to look fit again 

[Stripes]

Thanks WP!

I have always hoped that Meyer and Tambling will prove to the outside football world why we rated them so highly and I believe they will!

Jeez, i am praying this thread gets a few posts  after this weekend

Always feel good beating the Bummers.

Our supporters are loyal.

Our list is young and can only improve individually and as a team - if we play them together.

[mightytiges]

Bump.

Brought back in the youngsters and we had a win  .

[Stripes]

Lids seems to be getting better and better. I have him in my SuperCoach team and he is one of the most consistent points winners I have. I loved his two runs through the middle and his subsequent pinpoint delivery into the forwardline. He is starting to use his pace to his advance once more like he did in his first year. He beginning to perform to the level we have all hoped he would.

Cotchin also had another good game. While he did not have the same impact as he did in the first half of the week before, whenever he touched the ball he made things happen such as Tucky's goal in the last. You know he is good when in his 5th game he is already been 'minded' by the opposition.

Richo was fantastic all over the ground. Funny how accurate he has become by just having a few kicks up the ground before he has his first shot on goal. All in the mind obviously for our Richo. We need to start the cloning process for the big fellow now! Browny was another who is starting to get back to his best. I would love to see the Batman and Robin show return but substitute Hughes/Riewoldt into the capped crusader role instead of Richo! 

Riewoldt's mark was also fanatastic as was his pass to Cotchin which resulted in a goal. I am hoping he creates and kicks many more goals for us over the rest of the year.

JON also was a plus. He seems more confident and poised than I remember him. He made one silly decision which resulted in a goal to Melbourne but the rest of his game was very promising. I was fearful it would be another Tiv situation again but he proved an asset.

There was many pluses including the ommission of Tiv and Petts. Two or three more older players need to move into the Burgers and I will be completely satisfied with the Tigers lineup.

Overall I was happy for the win
