Was nowhere near a terrible performance, perhaps zero in on lynch and Dusty’s output firstTaranto played 86% TOG. For an inside mid that is much more than expected, he has been asked to play a sacrificial role and to hold up. People expect the guy to play at higher intensities but when he's playing that much more its more difficult. Considering he held the load of the likes of Dow, it's not a terrible performance, not perfect, but not his best. For comparison Butters had 76% TOG and Wines 75%
Fair enough RT , but the complaints are pretty well justified as things are actually more dire than last year under mini and there appears to be no changes to game plan and the major non performers to the team under mini are still going around untouched. This is inexcusable as Yze would've known the deficiencies of these players when he was working at Melbourne.Not picking on them, just pointing out how disappointing it is to be hearing that sort of chat 3 games into a new coaching regime.
One possession after half time is okay??? some standards need to be set with the premiership players.I thought Cappy was ok, but I reckon Picketts wing is up for grabs. Do we try Hugo/Banks/Sonsie there? I didn't have Grimes in my best 23 at the start of the season. So do we roll with Miller and Young as the keys and Broad/Tresize as covering the third tall? Grimes becomes back up? I'm ok with that.
Hypothetical: if he were unavailable, who plays his role?
Or a game into Sonsie/Kmac 2?Part of the reason we had a great team is we had a group of 5 that played about 7/8 years together before success, nearly 300 games together.
Rance would’ve easily played that many if he wanted to stay.
We need look to the longterm and stick with em.
I did crack it with Dow but we have to get more games into them.
Someone else posted…Shedda ave 11 possesions a game for his first fifty games.
Dow is a ave just over 13 in 19 games.
He’s averaging over 20 in 30 games if vfl
He needs another 10 games at least in the 1sts to try and get going.
running a lot is Kmac's role.What role? Kicking zero goals in 2024 thus far. Getting 1 touch in nearly three quarters yesterday from early in the second quarter? Making 1-2 howlers per game that costs goals? Allowing easy transition out of our F50 week after week? Never providing any attacking threat at all … notice how he always stifles ball movement by going back over his mark then kicking 50m to a pack down the wing?
What’s his ‘role’ we are worried about giving to someone else? Clarke. Ross. Hugo. Banks. Brown. D Rioli. Sonsie. Short. I really don’t care - Macca is a liability and needs to be retired off. He was great during our dynasty run. He’s finished in terms of what the Tigers need and we need to move on from him and Pickett ASAP.

Dow is so far away from even an amateur footballer.
Edwards does not equal Dow. Not within a bull’s roar even in his first 100 games. Dow has no physical presence, no intensity, minimal ability to read the play, can’t kick far etc. Edwards always had great skills, was lightening fast and smart, and had great overhead presence amongst other amazing attributes. To think that Dow wil ever be 10% as good as Edwards even after 300 games, which is feasible given the propensity to give him a go, is risible.
running a lot is Kmac's role.
Hugo played OK in the VFL but off half back.
Campbell ran the most for us in this game. 14.6
Kmac's undroppable.
Oppos blind hate for the Tigers shrouds the truth written in the stats sheet.Have a look at this. I'm lost for words. Crows fan.... Obviously still crying from 17

Cappy has been better than Pickett this season overall. If i personally are going a schoolyard pick out if the 2, i’m going with Cappy.One possession after half time is okay??? some standards need to be set with the premiership players.
I'd drop Grimes and McIntosh for Broad and Young and I would just clean out Dow's locker
Hugo was only okay in the VFL on Saturday ... Banks was not okay in the VFL the week before .. so I can't see how either is the answer next week
but I reckon play the kids until Hopper is good to go again ... you got to get 50 games into them ...
Good pointEdwards was absolute sh*te his first 50 games. If we were a half decent team no way would he have remained on the list. Most supporters wanted him gone. Of course he turned into a star, but that took a decade… he was anything but a star for his first 50 games.
Of course memories fade, but take this into account.
From 2007-2009 Edwards played 47 games. He received 1 x Brownlow vote and 3 x coaches votes in those 47 games. His SC averages were 48 / 48 / 54. He averaged 11 touches. He was crap.
You only remember Edwards from 2010 onwards once Dimma arrived and he stepped his game up a notch. He had 47 games under his belt by then.
I don’t believe Dow will turn into Edwards, but I’m saying to try and give him majority of this season, as Dow has some great attributes and some upside. As I said, if we were a half decent team 100% Edwards would’ve been delisted end of 2009.

We're 3 games in and had multiple changes in each game so far in terms of players coming in & out. Having a crack at players who've come back from injury and a coach who is 3 games in is unjust IMOFair enough RT , but the complaints are pretty well justified as things are actually more dire than last year under mini and there appears to be no changes to game plan and the major non performers to the team under mini are still going around untouched.

That's your opinion and fair enough, but by the constant complaints by multiple posters regarding KMac , Pickett and a few others it's glaringly obvious that there's an issue and these posters are entitled to voice their opinions. It's a forum regarding our club for us fans and all opinions should be valid unless they're against posting guidelines and rules. Why should you have a say or right over others and to think you have power or superiority over them?We're 3 games in and had multiple changes in each game so far in terms of players coming in & out. Having a crack at players who've come back from injury and a coach who is 3 games in is unjust IMO
We should just let Heeney run free and do as he pleases and grab that top 3 draft pick.I think this is the reason they've been hesitant to bring McAuliffe in. We're already poor defensively, and as good as any first year player is going, they're probably going to be focused more on the ball than their man, as that's what they're used to in under 18s.
I still think we need to play our best young players anyway. They can learn defensive positioning on the job.
The other option that could be worthwhile is throwing someone like Mansell in there to tag Heeney next week. Mansell is a very physical player who has a decent tank and can play all over the ground. Might not get get much ball himself in the middle, but has the right skills to shut an opponent down.
It makes for a good Instagram story—baffling decision.Absolutely ridiculous playing lefau.
Horrible decision. He wasn’t even ready to be a sub imo.100% agree, he didn't deserve to come in and is a bog average footballer. How handy would Schofield be playing up forward?
Give it a rest with Cappy. Hes an average footballer and always was. Time to go!Cappy has been better than Pickett this season overall. If i personally are going a schoolyard pick out if the 2, i’m going with Cappy.
But we both agree the opportunity is there for a kid to take a wing and we get 20 games into a potential 10 year players versus a one more year player.
And as previously stated, i didn’t have Grimes in my best 23 at the start of the season.
