Of all players today, IMHO, only Menadue or Balta could be possibly considered worthy of AFL selection. I would be prepared to swap either for BEllis tbh.
What do others think?
Those critics of RCD are not looking very closely. He's going to be a tough, strong inside mid who tackles fiercely, runs hard and can get and use the ball. So young still; huge upside.
Chol is like a V8 capacity motor that mostly only wants to run on 4 to 6 cylinders. Has got a heap of talent but just won't assert himself really strongly and consistently for 100 minutes.

Too true. Gotta breakout quick before it's too late.

Well done Tigers.
Port put up a mighty effort.
But great to see the Tigers prevail.
Now onto the GF.
Get the job done, Fly and the boys.

Had a great day at the game. Thought menadue and Egg were clearly our best two. Balta was great up the ground second half.

RCD not so sure. Not great overhead and not always clean. Hope he improves next year.

I'd describe him as a crude footballer at this stage.

I love his endeavour and size, but .....

a kind of a new age Andy Goodwin.

great win. Love seeing Naishys class in the last.

Menadue too good for the level, but good enough for Gold Coast.

looking forward to the GF, hoping for Bombers,

in no small part to see Towner fold Bageley like a pocket knife

Balta fired us up in the last quarter.(should have been put in the ruck earlier as CCJ was struggling).

Menadue was very good .

Picket had a hard tag and was up and down all game.

Chol was up and down but did some special things.

Not convinced by RCD underwhelming for a first round pick. (maybe still growing into his body).

Eggs will be a great player by the time 2021 comes around.

Forwards get a pass as the delivery on the 50 was poor.

We only played the Richmond way in the last quarter?????????????

Balta was massive in the last quarter. He was the reason we got up and going.

We played a semi professional pub team today and beat them by 4 goals. Yippie..
Markov, Carthwaite, McIntosh, Weller, Menadue, Moore and Arnott will make way for a new crop to come through.
Collier Dawkins looks like he will join the ‘list’. Ellisx2 , Lennon, Conca, and vickery.
The only kid that impress me is Cj.

Townsend really led from the front today.
Great physicality, really hope he remains on the list next year and he and Morris lead the VFL team in 2020.
