Strange selection.

Even less after the game

I think Tigers just wanted to do another one of those 'ring my parents and tell them the good news' social media videos

On the bright side, only 49 more games before he hit's the magical 50 games when everything clicks.

Dimma crucified Samson by playing him on a wet night when it’s not suited for talls

It was so hard to watch. Haven’t seen someone that out of their depth in a long time.

Tonight leaves mental scars. And sets him back. Back to the VFL for a long time.

it was so strange, im searching for explainations.

is it crazy to suggest, with the new 22 side east coast 2nds comp,

the talent pool is diluted, theres a bigger step up to AFL, and 2nds form is harder to read?

the other plausible explanation for debuting a 206cm kid in the wet, is we are tanking. And thats pretty unlikely.

Why would they play this kid, especially tonight with the conditions. It was always going to be a lose, lose and I’m not being a Monday’s expert.

has our MC become too cocky?

True though Chol is not exactly the gold standard for intensity and competitiveness.

Reckon I was competing harder than Mabs when I was tackling the scalding hot pie in the stands at half time. Can still feels the burns on the roof of my mouth. But you never give in…………..

Reminds me of when Todd Elton played against Adelaide all those years ago. Took him 2 years to see another senior game. And we all know how that ended.

Feel for the kid.

Oddest selection since Relton Roberts.
That’s funny I was thinking the exact same thing at the ground. I don’t recall a more bizarre selection since Relton Roberts That night I sat in the stands thinking why is there a bloke that’s as fat as me on the ground?
