Nice changes

 

[Calcium Man]

You'd be annoyed if you were Morris and you got dropped before Newy. Care factor is low but he'd be thinking wtf after he did his role.

I'm not as convinced he did his role. Like I said he and Yarran were not that near each other in first half. He got 3 touches and gave away 2 dumb frees on top of that.

 

[Turmoil]

Late out, McDonuts for Morris, come-on Santa i have been good this year

 

[DrMike]

Didn't Newman have like 300 possessions at quarter time against St Kilda last year and they had to sub him for leather poisoning?

McDonough is a good swap for Edwards

 

[tigs2010]

Newman may be old but he is still 10x the player of Morris

Neither of them get the ball. I find it hard to compare. Wish they'd both be gone tbh.

You sadistic bastard.

 

[Dragonss]

Last chance? That's pretty harsh given the leniency shown to other players.

McDonough has played 9 games. Most of them as the sub and out of the position in the backline. He's barely been given a chance.

Just got to show us something special. ANYTHING!! Can't be bloody soft on these players. Don't waste space on our list if you're not going to perform given the chance to prove yourself whether that be on the ground from beginning to end or as sub. If you've been given a golden opportunity that not many people have, you have to relish on that chance.
You can make an enormous impact even as a sub. A lot can be shown in a quarter of football. Even just a certain play, whether or not that is a goal saving tackle, a tackle that results in a goal, a courageous mark or even a clever goal assist. Any piece of talent will satisfy me.
VFL form does not guarantee AFL form.

Chaplin needs 2 more for his 200th game
We always win our milestones
Thanks Freo

Na, I like it though - basically saying you only have a role morro if we need to lock down on a half back - probably a reflection of where he is at ATM

You don't call that a melt.

Does this mean that Lennon and McDonough will actually play half-forward/forward for once with no Vickery, Griffiths or Edwards?

Aye. And what a beautiful day it shall be.

 

[DrMike]

Some other upcoming milestones

Round 20 vs Gold Coast = Cotchin 150, Maric 150, Grigg 100 for RFC, Griffiths 50 (assuming he plays)
Round 22 vs Essendon = Vickery 100 (assuming he plays)

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Seriously ****ing rapt with those changes. Mcdonough in the forward half where he belongs is a blessing.
Lennon to need to present more with Vickery and Griffiths out and hopefully he's up for it.

Gordon to sub, plz plz plz.

 

[BC9_]

Aye. And what a beautiful day it shall be.

Best inclusions all year, under these circumstances. You ripper!

 

[turtle27]

Would it be poor form to like Tigerland posts? Melted over nothing.

 

[DrMike]

Can you imagine if Newman got dropped for Ellis and we left Lennon in the team? Our forwards would think they were dreaming.

 

[Morro]

The 2 young fellas have very impressive stats over the past 4 weeks. Well earned.

Please baby Jesus let them play a full game and play well enough to hold their spots.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Loving the fact that both McDonagh and Lennon are INS...hope they both start and get given a go the following week

Whilst I think Morris deserves to be dropped...I somehow can't slag him off by doing star jumps ...he is still a tigers player and tries his best and reckon he loves the club as we all do...just think the game has moved on and he has been found out

 

[docko911]

I like most just hope McDonough and Lennon get a full game to show us their wares. I also hope if their performance is as good as the likes of Newman and Gordon that they are afforded a second opportunity ahead of said players when other players return.

It would be ideal if Lennon and McDonough were given the opportunity to prove themselves until Vickery and S.Edwards return at the least. Newman and Gordon should make way first, followed by Lambert if he doesn't step up.

I like your thinking young Padawan. Join me and together we can rule the Galaxy...


Sent from my brain using ESP.

 

[Pounce]

I can see Lennon playing well with only 2 talls being in the forward line. Wouldn't be surprised if he kicked a few goals.

 

[Foley#41]

No way Newman deserves to be playing still but we're slowly getting there. I really hope Lennon and McDonough get full games. Not subbed then out next week or the week after. Give them a reasonable go please.

Newman had some nice touches against Sydney. I hope he hangs up the boots at the end of the season, but if he is the worst player in our side on the day we are in good shape.

 

[TheTigerArmy]

I dont like mcdonut...but id like to be proved wrong...hope he does well ...he has his chance now...
