Preview Round 6 v Melbourne MCG Monday April 24th 7.25pm - ANZAC Eve

Furious.

 

[tiger_tough]

Sonsie sub surely

 

[cairo tiger]

ffs no sonsie or ross and short has been terrible as has junior. lost at selection.

Last weeks activated substitute, Maurice Rioli, has been named in the starting 22.

Short and Rioli replace Hugo Ralpshmith and Tyler Sonsie, who have both been omitted.

Speaking to the media on Saturday morning, coach Damien Hardwick said Short would bring invaluable "voice and experience" to the team.

Sonsie being dropped does make sense from a balance perspective, he only had 7% and 13% CBA attendance against the dogs and swans. MRJ offers better balance through his speed and pressure than sonsie in the forward line/ around the ground. Also probably means Shai spends more time on ball. I think if you want to play Sonsie you probably can't play cotchin/prestia

 

[tigers12]

10 goal plus loss incoming

 

[cairo tiger]

why drop a young gun like tyler???

Short hasn't been terrible at all. Plus it looks like he'll be back to playing in his best position of half back.

Was thinking similar
Sonsie is a mid but hasn’t really been utilised as one at afl level
Moved into the midfield after Cotch got subbed last week so I dare say it come down to Cotch v Sonsie for that last spot

Would probably still go Ross for the sub personally just because he has a little more versatility and just give Sonsie the on ball role in the vfl until he’s back in the side

Doubt he will be out for long

 

[tigers12]

Why the **** would you drop sonsie if anything fair enough hrs dropped why isn’t Ross getting a game you watch he will leave at the end of the year for more opportunities we will trade him for nothing and he will flourish

Sub will be either ralphsmith or sonsie, neither listed in the VFL side

Ross is still contracted for next year so I doubt he would leave this year
Gives him another season to see where he sits once a few more older guys move out of the side

 

[Muddiemoose]

Did Young get dropped???? WFT
How the * are the dickheads doing team selection???

Young has been named (back pocket)

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Young has been named (back pocket)

Thanks I must have missed it I was going to blow a valve.

 

[cairo tiger]

sonsie in for cotch. cotch has no leg speed. embarrassing he’s playing

 

[Muddiemoose]

Thanks I must have missed it I was going to blow a valve.

Don’t worry I would of as well if young had been cut
Been a revelation for us down back

Unfortunately Sonsie got dropped but I can also see the thinking behind it as well
Doubt he will be out of the side for long

 

[TiggerDK]

MRJ in 22 after pathetic game as a sub last week is awful.
You just find a spot for Sonsie, even if not his ideal position.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

That’s weak MC, absolutely weak

Teams going well this year all seem to have decent kicks coming out of the backline… surprise surprise.

Hopefully Short will take the majority of kick-ins or be the first target from the kick-in

 

[tunksy]

ross stiff again. needs to be playing ahead of a few.

mrj gifted cos of his name. he has no offensive impact.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Selection is pure damage control. Conceded a loss and don't want to make it too embarrassing.
Personally I'd rather play the kids and cop the belting. Can't hide them forever.

 

[docko911]

Sonsie and Ralphsmith not named in VFL

Ross needs a full game in the ressies, he hasn't played. So guess that was the correct call. The sub from either Sonz or Hugo

 

[cairo tiger]

ross will surely walk next year. you drop a kid called sonsie who can get the footy and use the footy. muarice someone tell me what he is giving this year? holds onto the ball too long and is not playing the role. cotch has to go, grow some balls and drop him, make a statement about our future.
