When is the draft?

Feels like that Oldie. Gunna be a long season.

We have played 3 games. There is plenty of time.

Not when it comes to those 4 they’ll get 1 game as usual if they don’t perform they’re out been happening for years

Dusty is out this week. “Managing a calf issue”

 

[Sintiger]

But it’s the same ones that get gifted games and failed
I don’t see Clarke Cumbo Coulthard Hugo given a run of games

and if they did Banks, Brown, Moju and Dow wouldn’t be.

I don’t understand the calls for Clarke to play, he had an underwhelming pre season and he has never really excelled at afl level yet. Hugo played well last week in the vfl but hasn’t had a pre season that screams pick me, nor has coulthard. If you read the comments by Steve Morris he sees Cumbo building form but he hasn’t done a lot yet this season.

To me the only one with legitimate claims to being picked now is McAuliffe.

Let’s just enjoy seeing of this group of youngsters can improve and I am sure the others with get a go at some point. It’s up to them to perform at a vfl level

Now watch all the 'Dusty tested positive' crap.

Thinking the same

 

[Tigers of Old]

Dusty hasn’t looked right so that is no surprise.

 

[TT33]

Now watch all the 'Dusty tested positive' crap.

He looked a bit proppy at the end of last week's game.

 

[Tass]

In a professional results driven industry, Luke Meehan should be exploring alternative vocational options

 

[Tigers of Old]

Wwhy on earth has Dusty been playing when clearly hampered?

I guess the same as Prestia who did 2 hammies before round 1!

With Dusty being out it's a good time to bring Cumberland in.

The fitness and conditioning have cost us in the last few years.
Players will not want to play for us seeing what is happening.

Mainly the older players, we have too many, expect more soft tissue injuries. I fully expected this. I think in the end it's good. Forces us to play the younger guys, something we should have been doing 2 years ago.

Logical replacement

 

[tha8ball]

Becoming shambolic

 

[seven]

That’s the issue with a hard pre season.
You can get hit with injuries early

 

[theglove3]

the bench is weird.

Agree, Tora x 3.
It's the slowest bench in history.

Buckle up peeps.
Dion, Dusty, Fridge, Gibber, Hopp.
Time to pump games into the cubs.
We'll find out a lot about our list by season's end.
