Convenient. Looking forward to our own forward pocket #44 Dustcy Martpherson playing a blinder with the new shaved head and sleeve ink.

Probably the easiest section to have a look at preview wise. Who do you lot have starting on the wings?

A couple of witches hats... Oh wait its Ellis and Fiorini, always get them confused

Berry and Rosas very nice

Missing Mac a bit surprise.

Missing Mac a bit surprise.

To wet you'd think for to many talls

 

[Young_Guns]

Not too bad.
Like seeing Uwland given first crack in the lockdown role. Lemmens just got far too torched by Cameron/Greene. Although feels like we are throwing him to the wolves a bit while the rest of the defence fail to sort their sh*t out. Looks like a quick rebounding group at least. In fact, we look pretty fast across the ground besides the wing, which could well be the slowest pairing in VFL/AFL history.

Forward line looks more dangerous with Ainsworth/Rosas/Berry and big Levi making an impact.

Only surprise is no Mac, but much more settled team than I was preparing for.

A few spots still up for someone to lock down and so far it seems like Dimma genuinely will reward game performances if they deserve it.

happy with that, prefer some others but bring it on! pressure pressure pressure cmon

Looking better - Ellis, Fiorini will be under watch while McPherson seems to be a last gasp. I'd just love to have a stronger defence - still looks very brittle without one more strong Key Defender. With Walter, Graham, Rogers, Jeffery, Clohesy, Faulkead and Mac Graham knocking on the doors - we will get better as the year unfolds. Addendum: Ned Moyle also will get his chance.

Rosas and Berry are starting to appeal more and more - puts pressure on Ainsworth and Holman to either get more of the ball or move aside. We definitely are not short of forwards for once. Rogers if he can get fit will stir things up as well. Flanders and Humphrey roaming in and out will strengthen the attack. Concerned for Dave Swallow - the window is closing on a great career. They all need to do it for him if nothing else.

If we know Macpherson he will shave his arms and ink his head

 

[Southern Sun]

Feel like not playing mac is a big step backwards, was really growing as a player last year. Seems they are a bit worried about the tigers smalls and not so much the talls. Just can't see what swallow adds in the backline.
Happy with rosas and berry, they add speed and rosas a goalkicker/ x factor. Our pre season form a worry but this is so winnable.

 

[kreglze]

Like the team mostly. Liking the Rosas and Berry selections, some serious pace there.

 

[Jirik13]

I guess we have never had an older and more experienced line-up.

Tigers age 26yr 3mth games 93.7

I think good to hear from Dimma that Mac is definitely defender right now. Just wondering what about Read.

 

[Young_Guns]

Sooo is it possible that we are actually the 3rd best team in the comp and Brisbane and GWS are just in a league of their own?

I knew we didn't suck!
