Pick two young Tigers to make a big leap forward in 2024
- Thread starter achillesjones
- Start date
Tom Brown.
I have him as the most talented from the 2021 draft crop.
Just needs an uninterrupted preseason.

Let’s hope sanity prevails and they stop playing Green as a small forward.
Absolutely. He got totally reamed by dumb positional decisions. Plays on-ball. Simple.
From SA Amateurs to SNAFL 2nds to SNAFL 1st to VFL to AFL in one season
that just shouldn't happen , but it has, and we are a part of it
and any report I heard from the VFL or training reports went along the lines "he gets in the right spots "
besides that he seems to play within his capabilities , cool head , clean disposal , good choices with the pill
seems to good to be true , then 1st possession at AFL level , two bounces and spots up Dusty , quite an accurate pass
now he has the chance for a full preseason
Coulthard
and like his suggests if you are a Tigers supporter you will get one

Honourable mentions
Taylar Young - was seen by many as just holding onto a spot , pretty much thanks to injuries , his rise to AFL was very fast , at first he concentrated of beating his man and little else , towards the end of the season he was getting to other contests and helping spoil and doing a little more with the ball in attack , we will see what we've got in '24
Tresize - looked great in his debut game against Port, but Port were playing in second gear a little bit , he deserved his debut game with a good block of games in the VFL , the intensity of the game wasn't his fault and he looked comfortable at level , it won't be easy for him to get a game early as he will be looking to compete with the likes of Vlastuin, Broad, Short , D Rioli, Ross , Baker , Grimmes , Pickett for defender / wing role but can see a bright future for him

Trezise, Gibcus, Sonsie, Campbell, Coulthard, Cumberland.
Wait, two?
Also, McAuliffe and Bauer.
Year of the kids, I think. Some older blokes should be flexing their coaching muscles.

U know what is absolutely fantastic about this thread,the fact that we have named 10 different young players,it shows our scope for improvement is quite large.
Cumberland and Sonsie, simply because I don't think Hardwick liked them very much. Indeed, if Hardwick hadn't dumped us for the money and because he preferred an easy gig at GG rather than doing the hard yards at Richmond, I think there is no doubt Cumberland would have requested a trade. They'll both get lots of opportunity next year, if they don't shine, it will be on them.
