Training Pre Season '23

[Triggering Tiger]

Why did Dusty lend his car to Dan Connors?

 

[tiger_tough]

Yes.

Both Tom and Fridge are in my team (team yellow).

Nice. How are they moving?

I kept stats for the 2021 season. 24% of all of Carlton's goals that year came directly from free kicks (i.e. McKay throws his arms out and gets a soft free then kicks a goal). This didn't include indirect frees (for example if a player gets a free on the wing and bombs it forward where McKay marks and then goals). The next highest team was Gold Coast at 19% and then Collingwood at 18%. Tigers were predictably in second last place with 12.6%.

In fairness to the rest of his team, 17 of those 18% were to Ginnivan.

Anyone know how big boy Sampson Ryan is tracking?

How did it trend in 2022

Not sure if it is a sign he has gotten the nod or not but pretty sure that is Narkles blonde mop

Was a bit of fun, and quite nerve racking!

I haven't heard any recent mention of Luke Teal.
Is he training with us or not?

No he dropped off at Christmas I believe.

 

[Noidnadroj]

Taranto is killing it. Hope his form continues into the season.

The guy is an absolute gun. He suffered at GWS from being one of their only mids who could play forward so he spent way too much time out of the guts. (Ward, Kelly, Green, Coniglio are mid only). I’m optimistic he’ll be like a Lachie Neale… excellent player who became a superstar once out of Nat Fyfe’s shadow.

He said in that podcast with Sheridan that he put his hand up to play that Forward role because he was the only one who actually had some experience in the forward line. I am really hoping he is a 75% mid next year.

 

[Little Bit Dusty]

On the way to Apollo Bay.

Fun day for Day 1.

Boys are peckish Groupie_ .

Any take away recommendations around G Town?

Haere Ra

Probably too late now but Kermond's is my go to for a burger.

Kilgour St Grocer for coffee. They also do sandwiches which I haven't tried but heard good things.

How did it trend in 2022

Didn't keep track, was a lot of work just doing it for 1 season.

Main reason I did it was because although we're always down the bottom of the free kick differential ladder, oppo supporters say we get heaps of cheapies in front of goal. My analysis blew that shit apart. Not only do we not get many frees anyway, we don't even get them up forward.

Turmoil at Aints Central.
Footy boss Geoff Walsh quits after three months.

I really think we don't need him as a forward if everyone stays fit. We have Dusty and Shai who can play mainly as forwards with stints in midfield, both are much more dangerous forward than Taranto.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Clever to recruit Narkle.
Josh C always had a psychological mastery over the Cats, intimidated them in finals.
Josh was imposing on the HFF, scored our first goal in the 2017 Grand Final.
A Kardinia discard who became a dual premiership champion.

Yep unless we have load of injuries he shouldn't need to play forward. Bolton is the best small forward in the comp and dusty does whatever he wants. We're more likely to have meatball and cotch injured which will keep Tarantulino in the midfield all the time

 

[biaseddustyfan]

We can direct all our selection night melts at KiwiTiger now

KiwiTiger during the team selection for Rd 1 exercise, how did Dimma try and get Castagna and Aarts into the team?

Fun fact, my phone autocorrects Aarts to Warts

Is aarts still at the club?

 

[RobsJourney]

Is aarts still at the club?

Nope, he was just making a joke. Delisted.

 

[DickieKnee]

Is aarts still at the club?

Playing with Dromana now.

Axed Richmond forward Jake Aarts signs with MPNFL club Dromana

The 28-year-old was cut from the Tigers last October.
