Team vs. Brisbane

[camboon]

Relax Boys, i see it from both sides but don't have an opinion either way,

1 Browny could be Terrys favorite, but has been a star of the game
2 To wish someone an injury for the tiger's just adds to the GIVE UP/ LOSE culture some are sinking into -  complain and be negative when we win -other clubs dont do it

[WilliamPowell]

No surprises with the outs

No problems with the Ins

Is Daniel Connors injured lads? Has anyone got any details on this?
If he is not injured then I would like to see him get a run for the rest of the year.

I know Morton has been shocking for a couple of weeks now so I don't disagree with that and McMahon has been awful for a while in my opinion?
Simmonds? Brown certainly does not deserve a chance after being inj and forced out and having no return through the ressies. I also find it conspiratory that Brown may play forward with no Morton even though I did say that Morton was struggling.

Nevertheless as a Tiger fan I hope we win. When I belt out the song after a win I am not thinking who was in the side but the fact we won, but right now I find a few of the selections for Saturday a little repetitive and standard. This week I felt was an opportunity for a left field selection of a young kid rather than the standard senior player who has underperformed for a while now.

LMAO @ Jordy missing out again.

Gee we really know how to pick him and you wonder why we are where we are.

He was injured pre-season Tucker, had a broken hand during the NAB cup

Played a game for the Coburg ressies, then played in the Coburg firsts, got a call up for the Melb game (when he shouldn't have), was dropped (rightly) after the Melb game and played last week for Coburg.

Based on his efforts (and I use the term very loosely) last week for Coburg he didn't deserve a recall this week. IMO last week he played as if he was playing for himself and not the team. He was unaccountable, wouldn't pick up his opponent and at times appeared lazy. If he'd been playing well I'd say he should be playing but he doesn't deserve it at the minute based on his form

I understand why a number of people being ticked off with the Brown selection but I reckon if he can't fire this week he will never fire up .... and if he kicks 3 or 4  none of us will be complaining

Agree WP. Tucky sadly Rawlings is spot on with is EOTT comments about Daniel from last weekend

"Typical Daniel Connors performance . . . some flashy brilliance, but some costly errors and a lack of defensive aspect to his game."

[tigerlily]

Seems strange, our 3 senior midfielders dont touch the ball for a half so we drop a forward and our defensive go to player, still selecting  on personalities not performance

i agree, but becareful which players  esp mids you question on here, as you may offend some posters

[gtig]

bit sad to see morton get dropped too. i don't really see the point of that. anyway, looks an interesting forward structure, let's see what will be. Good to see JON still in the mix, about time for a bit of a breakout game for him though. big question for me though.. what will brown do.

Yeh me either, I thought with a fit big fella in Simmo, Schulz or Hughes at FF Morton might be able to impact on the game a bit more.

There may be something in what other posters said that his work rate wasnt quiet up to scratch (personally I could only see that in the Sydney game)

[gtig]

as they say - i couldn't agree with ourselves more c17. with richo out we want these blokes to stand up - so what do we do? drop the guy. is he going to find form having a weekend sitting in the grandstand?

[Stripes]

Brown doesn't deserve a recall - he was playing poorly before he was injured and hasn't had time to find his form and fitness back before he has been included. Mitch still remains our most dangerous forward of the last 14 odd months (yes I realize this isn't a huge feat at the moment) but much of his poor form has been due to the additional attention he has received consequently. Browny on the other had has shown very little and the majority of goals he has got have been uncontested.

I am happy with the inclusion of Cousins over McMahon and Simmonds for Richo given the Lions depleted ruck stocks but I would like to see a young tall forward given a chance very soon such as Hughes, Post or even Vickery when their Coburg form warrants it.

It appears that Morton is paying the ultimate price for not laying a tackle last week......also his role in the Riewoldt/Mattner incident.
I would be very surprised if hes not back in the team soon.

[mightytiges]

With Browny back and Richo out I would've given Mitch another go as well on the proviso he works harder defensively (lays tackles) or he's in the VFL next week. I get the feeling Mitch is more potent with Browny in the side. Maybe because Mitch gets the 2nd best small defender with Browny tagged by the opposition's best small defender.

[big tone]

Brown is still a very good player and a match winner- i think a few on here have very short memories.
His form this year has been just ok at best but he has had 21 mates every week in the same boat.
If fit he plays.
