Re: 2008 NAB AFL Draft dates, list changes etc

[Azza]

OK, assuming that Wallace's influence in the draft process has been reduced with the departure of Miller, is it a possibility now that the club could/would put McMahon up for trade? Would this be seen as too drastic a vote of no-confidence in Wallace, or is the club's attitude to Wallace hardened enough for it to take this step?

Sorry for the above - wrong place to post. Could a mod please remove it?
Cheers.

Agree r42, only change i'd make is delist Carteledge, I don't think we can have him and Angus on the list together considering their similar developement stages. I believe they both would struggle to play as a back up ruckman at the top level for a little while yet.

 

[achillesjones]

Johnson has to get another year after this year

 

[skiptomystu]

I get the feeling we will be adding Adam Thomson to the list very soon.

 

[TygerTyger]

it would seem that way: http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=68769

On Adam Thomson

 

[Tiger]

Cannot understand why the Tiger ferrals get stuck into McMahon. He initiates many forward moves.
I would rather someone who takes risks and misses a few targets than someone who goes the short safe option.

Besides that why would any player want to come to Tigerland and be faced with you lot.

The good thing about the Tiger family is it cuts across all IQ levels.
The bad thing about the Tigers family is it cuts across all IQ levels.

However now is the time for constructive criticism but as soon as the list is set my mission is to hound out all the whingers.

I just love the Tiges - I defend all Tiger players as long as they are Tiger players - family is family.

So come season time - everybody stop your bloody criticism and stop the other team ferrells claiming we eat our own.

I come to this site in hope for optimism and why we love the Tiges not the rubbish that mainly appears!!

Good luck Tiger - I came onto this forum in July 2004 with the same attitude you display in the above post - it got me into some great stoushes with negative posters whose knowledge of the game is different and in some case better than mine.

Enjoy your journey - in trying to convert critics into supporters - one small word of advice - I have learnt over the last 4 years - just because they criticise it does not mean they are not passionate lovers/supporters of our great club. They just want results and those results are to be achieved in a manner which personifies all the good and toughness of the traditional RFC.

You are so right RT. Healthy criticism should not be discouraged, but the savage bagging of players in the yellow and black should be shouted down. Not every player is going to be brilliant week in and week out, and all sportspeople have "black" days they would like to forget. Such is life!! As for McMahon now. I have seen him play some and some not so good games. For mine, I enjoy watching him run and carry. Sure he makes some clangers, but as said above, who doesn't?? Richo is a prime example of a sometime clanger king, but who on here would have him dropped? Not many I would say.

So let's all have our say but please, please, no constant bagging of players.
