Left to right - Sonsie, McAuliffe and Taranto.
It's fair to say that I'd love the two on the left to build a strong connection with Taranto.
I see a pretty strong midfield core with these three and Hopper.

words is when they pushed up from this position the town of wonthaggi dropped below sea level and disappeared forever below the waves.

Does anyone else think that a pre-season camp in Wonthaggi seems a bit cheap for an elite sporting club?

Not when there is a spending cap, there are plenty other more beneficial things we can "spend" on. Camp is mainly about team bonding etc.

Do you think our best player needing a concussion test on day 1 of a pre-season camp is good for anyone?

You have never played or done a pre season before, have you?

 

[captain blood 17]

Agree, he should be at home with his feet up ripping cones.

No, you have no respect for champions.

Your opinion of Hardwick as a coach was………

Dusty 'good as gold' after training mishap

Dustin Martin has been cleared of concussion after copping a blow during match simulation at the club's community camp

Richmond star Dustin Martin joined in Tigers training on Thursday after being cleared of concussion following a head knock on Wednesday.

Martin required treatment after copping a blow during match simulation at the club's community camp on Victoria's Bass Coast, south east of Melbourne.

The 32-year-old received some stitches but joined in running and cycling activities with his teammates on Thursday, with new teammate Jacob Koschitzke saying the three-time Norm Smith Medallist was back to his normal self.

"He's been out and about," Koschitzke said. "He received a couple of stitches but otherwise he's pretty good. He did a bit of cycling and seemed up and about. He's good as gold and we know the champion he is so he'll be back in no time.

"I won't name and shame who the culprit was (who collided with Martin). But he has been good, he's been riding around on the bike, popping monos and wheelies. He's as good as gold."

Koschitzke has been working as closely as possible with Tom Lynch, despite the star forward being on restricted duties as he continues his long recovery from a foot injury.

Having moved from Hawthorn during the trade period, Koschitzke will partner with Lynch in a Tigers forward line that is looking to move on from the retirement of champion goalkicker Jack Riewoldt.

Despite Lynch training away from the main group until January at the earliest, Koschitzke says the 31-year-old is already proving himself to be a valuable mentor.

"He's been offering me advice ... we're different players with different strengths, but I was picking his brain about how best to use my body in one-on-one marking contests and long down-the-lines," Koschitzke said.

"He's been really beneficial for my development, and it's part of the reason why I wanted to come here. I felt like I needed that older sort of forward who had learned the tricks of the trade and done their apprenticeship.

"I didn't actually get the chance to have that at the Hawks ... Mitch Lewis is only (18) months older than myself.

"I felt I just needed someone who really knew the game to give me tips and advice on how to handle adversity and all that stuff that comes along with senior footy."

Few, i was concerned Lou the butcher was gonna behead him to solve the whole stitches/headache thing.

I loved it. No wank, hype. And in a beautiful spot of Victoria. Down to business.

Kick more goals and points than them, and i reckon we win it.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Because he doesn't need to and all that can happen is that he gets injured.

Yeah but surely its safer for him to do virtual training? Maybe some AFL 99 on playstation type stuff?

Richmond new scientific research department has developed the next generation of cotton wool.

Meehan was quoted 'We wanted something more durable than cotton wool to cocoon the players in the preseason as it tended to get soggy in the rain'.

great spot down there on bass coast. tigers did it well involved in local community and indigenous. facilities amazing. inverloch is a gem. boys worked hard. bonded with new coach and players. never seen fridge graham look fitter. we could surprise this year.

 

[beema limapep]

I tend to agree in principle. It will be an ugly start as the players adapt to a new style and we find the right mix of players with skills to suit the gamestyle. I.e kicking.

Wouldn't suprise me if we are 2 and 9 at the halfway point and 5 and 7 from the second half.

Yeah, I thought it was brilliant. I don't know how anyone could think otherwise.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion and all that, but you gotta wonder sometimes.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

You have never played or done a pre season before, have you?

Great post mate. Lol

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Fat, Injury prone, cooked, spud.

I hate the idea of Balta forward. Leaves us with KPD stocks of Grimes, Miller, Young and Gibcus. Huge question marks over all of them and Young and Gibcus are far too inexperienced to hold it down on their own (plus 'tweener Broad).

KPDs should be Balta, Young + Broad
KPFs Lynch plus two of Kozi/Gibcus/Bauer/Ryan

IMO.

We're not exactly back into the window so why not get games into Young & Gibcus as quick as possible as a pair.Balta is not the answer down back he hasn't got that consentration level required to be a defender.

Hopefully you're still chained to the Jack Dyer Stand when the bulldozer arrives.

Honestly, I've seen some dumb s**t posted on here but this might top them all.
