News Eight Tigers make the AA squad- Congratulations to Rance, Martin, Riewoldt and Edwards

[Sterge]

Riewoldt FF & captain
Rance FB
Martin HFF are all locks

Grimes deserves it and I think Caddy will just miss because he went quiet through the middle of the season.

Will get at least 3 probably deserve at least 5

 

[Drofder]

Martin, Grimes (maybe - hopefully) and Riewoldt will be it.

 

[SavDog23]

Full Back: Rance
Back Pocket: Grimes
Half-Forward Flank: Martin
Full Forward: Riewoldt

The rest in squad, Astbury very stiff to miss that too.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Three locks Rance, Martin and Riewoldt (Captain)
Grimes should be in as he is the best one to one defender in the competition and Shane Edwards a good chance.
The others probably less likely.

 

[kozi]

Only 8?

Robbed.

 

[smasha]

Whateley not happy.

 

[brahj]

Rance - FB, Riewoldt (VC) - FF and Martin - INT.

Would love to see Grimes and Edwards get in, but I think we have only 3 certainties and anything else is a bonus.

what happened

 

[Roachy8]

Lol - the hate from norf supporters on the MB thread re. Cotchin's name being there.

It's as if they think he personally wrote it on the list.

Loving the melts about Cotch and Lambert getting in.

 

[smasha]

what happened

Reckons the players are great as a collective but some other players like McGovern missed out instead of Grimes.

 

[Wally Matera]

Let's be honest... Cotchin is very lucky. As elite as he has been in leadership for the club, his numbers wont stack upagainst the players he's competing against.

 

[fumbler]

How many full forwards can you name in the initial 40 Gil you dumb arse.

 

[peternorth]

yeah cotch shouldnt make it.

 

[Grockadoc]

Disappointed no Vlastuin either. A few journo's had Vlastuin in their AA 22, so to miss the squad is very unlucky.

 

[Calcium Man]

Reckons the players are great as a collective but some other players like McGovern missed out instead of Grimes.

McGovern is in the 40 so he is a double idiot

 

[cairo tiger]

Josh Caddy, Trent Cochin, Shane Edwards, Dylan Grimes, Kane Lambert, Dustin Martin, Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt are all the 40-man group, who will make it?

no Floss?

 

[TJASTA]

no Floss?

No Floss.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Let's be honest... Cotchin is very lucky. As elite as he has been in leadership for the club, his numbers wont stack upagainst the players he's competing against.

His first half of the season was, Brownlow predictor has him polling in like 6 games in the first half. Second half he dropped off but still a battering ram and leader. Also currently still 22nd in coaches votes ahead of players like DeGoey, Neale and Gray who all made it. 1 vote behind Dangerfield.
Its not like he hasnt played good footy this year.

He didnt make the squad last year, it would be pretty unfair for him to not make the squad after 2017 and 2018, leading the Tiges to a flag and then backing it up by finishing top of the ladder.
Well deserved squad inclusion imo

That's all they have to hang their season on.

RFC limit Cotch's minutes or completely rest him in the last 3 or 4 games and he still gets in AA squad. Gold.

Would ROFL if he got into the 22 AND was named Captain.

Won't happen but he is clearly the best Captain at the moment.

...at the expense of Ben Brown or Shaun Higgins. ROFL.

 

[parmy2balmey]

cotchin will be the AA captain

 

[Bojangles17]

Close but I thought vlas and astbury had strong claims too , did those boys a great disservice
