unit. straight in.

 

[Coach_Required]

Hutchinson kicked 5 and dominated today for Eagles. Toce’s first heck up already.

Eagles have the Key forwards in place to already compliment Hutchinson, we don't.

First thing we need to do is get key position players, Hutchinson wouldn't have made a difference to our forward line at present.

Does he offer any more than Bauer does , Bauer state league form has been more consistent than his . We were right in going for blight who fills a kpp , nobody’s mentioned if balta leaves as A FA I don’t think but there’s a chance , by gee will he stir interest

I hope Balta stirs an enormous amount of interest. Clanger king.

Would be a restricted free agent too, so skies the limit.

So was Rance until he became one of the best key defenders the game has ever seen.

EDIT: Also Balta has something Rance did not, an absolute thumping boot.

 

[Barnzy]

Why he we not heard about his debut yet?

Does he have no one to phone home to?

He's gone over to Adelaide, but I doubt he plays. It'll be Balta back and Kosi forward imo.

yeah but Rance had Higgins' missus on his grand piano

 

[RobsJourney]

Indeed, he was a maestro in more ways than one, but he shanked them properly early doors.

 

[Burning bright]

Just watched the interview on the RFC website, what a sharp and articulate young man who is focused on improving his football to be the best he can be.

Very impressive first game and first interview we may have a gem in this bloke.

eat em alive Tigers

 

[Dragonss]

Can we try him as a key forward? Miller and Balta seem settled as the KPD.

NO! We dont do that shit anymore, killed enough careers with this rubbish.

Did Blight get coaches votes in Geelong?

I thought was blight in blight thread

 

[tiger_tough]

Pretty excited about this guy. 3 very good games to start off in the VFL.

We should bring him in against Carlton IMO, even if it means giving Broad or Vlastuin another rest. Could throw Balta forward again but I think ideally Blight can be freed up to play more to his intercepting best with Miller and Balta taking McKay and Curnow. There is 0 downside.

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Baptism of fire for his debut. Well done Jacob. Best of luck.

 

[tiger_tough]

how good

Was literally about to say the exact same thing
