Tigers Pre-Season 2015 - Open Training Friday @ Lavington

[Tigerbob]

Noticed delisted Carlton player Cachia in the run. He's a very good VFL player and would hope we signed him up to our VFL club. Would be a quality addition to them as an on field leader.

He's going out with one of Robert Shaws daughters from memory and one of our list management guys is with another of his daughters so there is a connection there.

Not for AFL for mine, although better than others who have been retained on our rookie list.....

Liam mcbean....thats what i wanna know about...we have all been waiting we all be hearing but is the kid going to live upto the hype, we have certainly done right by him and let him mature in the Vfl, is he finally putting some size on ? Is he as good as we hear? Is he going to make i big impact on AFL level ? What are peoples thoughts and any one close please let rip, im am very intersted ?

Nathan Gordon had the best time it seems followed closely by Brandon Ellis.

According to Gordon (interview per the RFC website) Conca, Lloyd and McBean all ran better than expected.

Apparently the RFC fitness staff are quite happy with the times.

Also Tigerbob thought Cachia looked handy for the Blues during his time there. Agree he isn't AFL standard, but a good pick up for our VFL team (should we sign him). In my opinion, the more ex-AFL types to create competition for our youth the better.

He's signed with the VFL team already I believe

Gordon is well known for his endurance so no surprise there, hope he has a good year

I'd love to see the top 3 from each club all go in the same time trial. Would be very interesting to see the results.

Would would our 3 be.

Gordon. Ellis. ......?

Matty Arnot looks like a stud. Should be Chris Hemsworth's body double.

'Burning' Tigers prepare for "hardest ever" pre-season

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...r-hardest-ever-preseason-20141115-11nblb.html

Tigers fitness boss Peter Burge has declared this will be the toughest pre-season the players have endured, and will also be the longest considering the home-and-away season does not begin until April 3 due to cricket's World Cup.

"It's going to be a longer pre-season given the later start to the year but it's just going to be full of hard work. Without giving too much away, they are probably going to end up working harder than they have ever done before," he said.

Get ready for a Burge Surge.

Ripping bloke.

He is a really good bloke from the minimal dealings I have had with him.

Think he's someone we should build our VFL side around. He's a leader and quality guy
Would help the youngsters. If he has ambitions to coach later in life we should offer him a contract to play for our VFL team in a leadership role, pay for coaching courses, allow him to learn off our coaches.

That way it sets him up for later in life also. I think the guy can play and was doing some good roles for Carlton.

Has he signed for our VFL team? tigs2010 thinks so but you can never trust a word he says.....

 

[final8]

He has signed about a month ago along with jacob arts and ty downie from bendigo

 

[TigerImposter]

Yep we need more good blokes at Punt Rd
Prerequisite to being successful and creating a winning culture
Why didn't Mick keep him in the NB team????

Hope this is fair dinkum as we've heard the aching breaking heart and training the house down PR spin before
I do respect it more coming from Ellis bc he's a genuine kid and one of our hardest workers
I see Newman is in for surgery already

Dude, he has been on the list for two years. He needs more time to develop. He has gained over 10kgs since first drafted but still needs to add more muscle. 2016/17 is when he should be looking to hold down a spot in the best 22.

Sorry got both you campaigners mixed up.

 

[tunksy]

love to see both gordon and lloyd in our forward line and best 22. would be pretty dangerous i reckon. if knights is back and fit, kick grigg to the vfl and knight can play wing.

we all knew McBean was a longer term project & was close to a game in 2013 but he got injured. that same injury ruined his pre season last year so he's not been able to properly have a go at it. full pre season this time around so that will help him bigtime
