I think it was a terrible rookie selection promarily because it was not a role we needed depth for. I don't get the thinking at all.

Yep. Not like we have a shortage of players like him.

We lost 5 depth players clearing out almost a million dollars to snare Lynch. Weller was a 75k insurance against that.

Then all our kids turned into guns on debut and we didn’t need him.

Oh well, nobody broke into the house, you could try to get a refund from the insurance company but good luck.

Was an ok selection considering who we traded out, and not knowing that Stack and Ross were capable of what they have shown so early in their careers.

I would have preferred dean towers. Always thought towers was a better footballer that lacked opportunity.

Chol Aarts English turner DES

Pretty good batch
Not too many that wouldn’t have an impact.
Chol could kick 10 in an afl game. You just never know

DDT the likelihood of Chol kicking 10 in the afl when he hasnt ever in the vfl is squint.
But it doesnt negate your idea that the kids team is pretty potent

Seems to have been a player that has been dogged by injuries and never able to reach his potential.

All the best Mav, hope you play a blinder on Sunday

Well done Mav. Struggled after an early burst and his limitations with the ball (for AFL level) were highlighted.

Terrific competitor though. Hope he goes out a winner.

Has played well at VFL level. We gave him a chance at AFL level but he couldn't convert. Hope he goes out with a VFL premiership. A fitting way to end it.

An armchair in Sydney
123 AFL games. Petty damn good job there.

2 for the Tiges at season's start, and the rest in the VFL.

Hope he gets a premiership with our VFL team.

Thanks for the contribution, Mav.

Thanks Mav for being part of the tigers 2019 game plan and go get a VFL flag on Sunday.

Please avoid certain PRE posters if a reference report is required.

All the best with your future endeavors.
