As a Tiger supporter i think we can address a whole pile of list shortcomings simply because players who meet those shortcomings are likely to fall at picks the picks we have. Personally and like most of you draft guru's i keep changing and probably will right up to draft day i would go at the...

Hi SMYTHE's this may have been done already but i have to ask. Coupled with our own picks who you would have pencilled in or hope to still be there at the picks people are talking we may get , ie 6 and 20 Rioli, 9 and 16 Bolton, 13 Baker, 22 or 40 Graham. Personally i like players with...

Im actually quite proud of this post but im going to ignore a certain nuffy rather than get into a slanging match. All i can say is i hope all supporters just don't blindly follow and continue to ask questions. Just on Clarke since he has been in charge of recruiting at the club It includes ND...

Lynchy won't be getting any quicker thats for sure and the problem is there are plenty in the same boat. Surely there is a realistic expectation that our older blokes will be in some form of decline. No one will argue that Taranto 23, Martin 20, Bolton 23, Prestia 20, and Hopper 16 are our best...

Pretty simple formula to play wing. Pace, Good motor an ability to take the game on and break lines and importantly very good footskills. Our incumbents in Ross and McIntosh lack in several of these areas. Also i think if Marlion is to play it should be as a onballer leaving the wings and flanks...

Not sure about the Young love. While acknowledging he did well primarily as a stopper he just did not do enough in other areas. In a sentence too one dimensional. Yes it was his first season and with that he should have some improvement left in him. Imo that is offset a bit with him being...

If all are fit i see it differently to most. Balta - Rance. Very similar players even with their weaknesses. Gibcus - Astbury. Gibcus a massive upgrade on Astbury and for that matter Young who is a one trick pony. Why have just a player who only spoils when you have potentially a star who can...

Long way behind weitering in all areas including one v one wins. It comes down to basically effecting a spoil of which Young did very well in but gave us little else in any other area. Lets not fall into the trap of taking just one stat or looking at just aspect of the game and ignore...

Went to Subiaco from kalgoorlie where he was playing seniors at full forward against men. At subiaco he may well have played in the ruck on occasions like an awful lot of kpp's but he primarily played kpf. We tried him as a forward when he first came to us but we quickly decided to play him in...

Boy talk about a total misunderstanding of a players worth. Peter Hudson at 188cm was as tall or taller than Dunstall Wade and a few others. Fmd Lockett was only 191cm He was fantastic on the lead and he was a terrific one on one marking player. The only thing unconventional about him was his...

Im happy to be corrected but Miller was very much drafted as a key forward. That aside he is just not ruckman size, and even if he is played there as a short ruckman he does not have the attributes to dominate.

I do like the honesty.

Lots of debate about him I think people do question his inability to lets say win one v ones consistently enough. Too many lapses in concentration and he still probably makes a few too many simple mistakes as well. Thing is based on pure potential He and Gibcus with patience should be the...

Just not a spot for him imo and we have to be aiming for better. As people have mentioned Balta, Gibcus Young are all in front of him as key defenders. Young may or may not allow us to develop Balta as a fwd who knows.Atm for me Balta, Gibcus and Bauer would be my three tall options in defense...

As a key fwd he is actually tracking backwards. Last year with Lewis on one leg he could not cement a game in the Hawks team. He was offered a contract by the Hawks relative to his output. We need Tall forwards so he is a good fit he is just one, we could do with another two or three. To expect...

This post is spot on. He like most recruits has some good attributes its what gets them drafted. Ben is the epitome of a list clogger though. Our tall stocks are in such disarray because we hang onto players who show some good traits but never go on with it. He has been there since 2017 and...

B: Vlastuin - Balta - Bauer HB: Broad - Gibcus - Brown C: D Rioli - Taranto - Banks R: Nankervis - Martin - Bolton HF: Clarke - Koschitzke - Coulthard F: Ryan - Lynch - Campbell Int: Hopper - Prestia - Sonsie - Baker - Short. Just think Bauer is a logical replacement for Grimes and he is a...

Unbelievable comment. I asked people what his role was and most said he played Hoppers role. If that was the case then his game was abysmal. Was surprised he had 23 disposals as he seemed invisible. had 11 kicks and most were just dinky little kicks to no great advantage. Just 2 tackles just...

Reckon with Lobb and English Samson Ryan will be needed. Gotta make one of them accountable and they are both threats when they go fwd. To big an ask for Nankervis alone. Imo you could realistically make a case to drop about 11 players. yes Grimes and Riewoldt are two. Reckon Sonsie Hopper...

Dont get this thinking. Riewoldt is one of our two tall kpd's. I would hope if he is to be replaced we replace him with a genuine tall or kpf. The honest question there is do we have one good enough to warrant a game atm. Cumberland, MRJ, Clarke two of should be playing permanent fwd if not all...

Way its going reckon we can look fwd to another stengle scenario where he will want to go for better opportunity in what he does well and he will kick bags at his new club. Hardly a whimper last year about Cumberlands pressure in his 8 games. Why because there was nothing wrong with his...

Rubbish he was easily our second or third best mid last year and it was one of his better seasons for awhile. Don't have the midfield minutes but Cotchins time on ground minutes is less than a lot of the mids. Prestia is the lowest but his tog is affected by being subbed off 4 times. The two...

Hmm id like to see this given Tarrant is injured B: Grimes - Miller - Vlastuin HB: Rioli - Balta - Broad C: Pickett - Hopper - Ralphsmith/Banks/Brown R: Nankervis - Taranto - Prestia HF: Bolton - Lynch - Sonsie FF: Ryan - Riewoldt - Cumberland INT: Martin - Cotchin - Baker - Clarke - Ross -...

I just don't get all the talk from the club and supporters about the need to play Cotchin as a forward. Did no one watch his season last year, he was our second best mid last year and is still in our best 4 or 5 mids quite easily with Taranto and Hopper there. With Taranto and Hopper it...

Your not very good without your mates are ya. what is that some 12 yr olds giff. To be honest im surprised your even trying with out your mates to hold ya hand. By the way remember they are only highlight packages.;) Dont put too much importance into them. Go and actually watch some kids play...

Look at the hand bud look at the hand. Im disappointed your retorts are worse than ever. By the way you do own a mirror dont ya sort of like Those who live in glass houses etc ah well shame i wont be around to enjoy this. By the way ive been looking at your draft observations you do realise...

Ah the little munchin himself still hanging off his mates coat tales. sheesh ive come across some real wannabes on this site but you take the cake. Your right for some it will be a looonngggg lllloooonnnggg season puting up with your dribble. Me well in about 5 minutes im out of here and wont...

Hindsight na but you go with that if you like. Thats all good bud i know your buggered when all you have is the cheap shots and personal insults. By the way i also prefered Goater over Brown and i think Bazzo could end up just as good as Gibcus.Now theres some ammunition for ya go for it...

Im not pulling my chain here ive banged on a lot in recent years about getting more big mids and key fwds. the 2021 draft was the opportunity to do something about both i thought. First i thought we should have bit the bullet and found a way to get a pick in the 40's. Heres a few sliding door...

Tough decisions to be made is the title of the thread. Seems a lot of people are finding it difficult to make those tough decisions. B: Vlastuin - Tarrant - Grimes. These three are walk up starts if fit. Tarrant maybe 34 but he is our best big one on one defender Balta can still only hope he...
