Whatever. We won the minor premiership last year, we've brought through Higgins and Graham through the last 2 years and both are Best 22 for us currently and did that during a premiership year and a minor premiership year. When you have a strong squad and few injuries, you don't tend to bring players through into the AFL and therefore develop them in the VFL. How about you see how those boys do when they are brought in, players like Garthwaite (drafted in the 70's), Bolton (Pick 29), Baker (rookie pick), Balta (Pick 25), Naish (Pick in the 40's), Ross is fresh off the draft but could also debut this year (sooner rather than later I hope). They've played a grand total of 13 games between them. Are you therefore writing them off before they really get a crack at it?
Reckon we've probably developed Markov at the wrong end, not sure he's a defender. We have talent in our 2's, hence the performances of our VFL team over the last 2 years.
The way you talk sounds like we have been bottom dwellers for the last couple of years. Bear in mind that since the end of 2012, we have played finals footy in all but 1 season, and won a premiership and a minor premiership in that time.

Not good enough. I set standards higher then you do.
Bolton will be delisted at years end
Baker is smaller then nahas
Balta is a Terry keays part 2
Naish, more chance his old man makes a come back
Markov. What a forward, under 16 set shots. Missed both (to the same side)
The only one is Carthwaite but he moves around like Astbury
Mr P, I value your opinion. You’re someone whose posts I always read with interest. At the risk of derailing the thread into a slanging match, you’re trying to have a discussion based on logic with someone to whom it is a foreign concept. There are a small core of posters here who weirdly enough seem to prefer it when we lose.mrposhman said:
On Weller, he played 120 games before we picked him up. There’s no actual developing a guy like that. He wouldn’t have played Rd 1 except for injuries. He played well enough against poor opposition to get a 2nd game and he was badly exposed in that game. He’ll go ok against the Carlton’s of the comp, but be found wanting against better teams. He’s a recruiting mistake and will probably be playing suburban or country football in 2020.
Most likely won't play another game unless the Tigers are struck by a number of further injuries.
Certainly doesn't bring anything to the team like what the recent additions have done.
Deep back-up at best.

Why did we need him in the first place? We have Baker Naish Bulter and Collier Dawk
I said it from the start. The minute Roughhead was given the ass from Footscray we should’ve picked him up.
Part time ruck, can go forward and a very goos one on one defender.
We wouldn't have enquired. No cash.
We couldn't afford anyone unless on base wage - Roughead certainly isn't on that.
