Things will turn fast

[tigerinthetank2]

Its ok to say we have young list but can they play ?
have a look at players like Selwood from Geelong etc. There young and they play the game like they own it. Our young players are either too light or have skill problem already
A lot of the players that we have on our list wont make it and will be delisted in the next 2 years if not as seasons end

On Footy Classified Bomber said Selwood is the best kid he's seen and he rated him above Ablett and all of their other kids.  A big wrap.

 

[tigerinthetank2]

Seen him probably 5 times this year, is an absolute star.
Where is our no 8 pick, JON again ? :

Not sure it will turn fast think in 2 or 3 years we will be winning more than we loose but will take time to be a regular finals team. Below I have listed all the guys 25 & under playing for the Tigers as at the start of the season:

Edwards 18
Riewoldt 18
Collins 18
Conners 18
Clingan 18
Deledio 19
JON 19
Peterson 19
White 19
Graham 19
Casserley 20
Hughes 20
Jackson 20
Mcuane 20
Meyer 20
Polo 20
Tambling 20
Thursfield 20
Foley 21
Hartigan 21
Pattison 21
Raines 21
Shulz 21
Moore 22
Polak 22
Howat 22
King 22
Coughlan 24
Hyde 24
Krakouer 24
Newman 24
Bowden P 25
Pettifer 25
Tuck 25

With the retirement of gaspar leaves only Richo being over 30 on our list & I think guys like Knobal Kingsley Hall along with Bowden P & Moore looking shakey will be adding a heap more youth to the side next draft if we can keep a core group of young guys coming through Coburg together they will know each others game & will play for each other & the coach because they have been with him for a long period of time.

not wanting to be a kill joy but 15 16 of that list could be gone in 2 or 3 yrs

That still leaves 20 that will be reaching their peak.

I'll take that.

 

[the claw]

its clear that TW has over rated the likes of Richo, Bowden, Johnson & Brown in the false hope that they would lead our club fwd - much like many others on this site

it is clearly evident that regardless of how much you may love any or all of the above 4 players they have all failed to deliver and that is why we are last

For anyone to suggest that Richo, Bowden and Brown are overated, well all that does is question the credibility of the poster. Richo has joined Hudson and others on the all time goal kicking list, Bowden 2 times all Australian and Brown is in the elite class, sure he has been hampered by a severe injury but to question his ability well I say no more.

i for one couldnt give a fat rats a about what people think of my credibility. so im happy to say richo bowden and browny are over rated by richmond ferals. especially *smile* bowden.

oh we are talking about the draft and yr when most ferals and terry thought it more important to win a few extra meaningless games than make sure we had the earliest possible pick we could get. it was also the yr that in their wisdom they decided not to trade for more picks decided the players they had were good enough decided to reward underachieving duds and finally decided we only needed to utilise 3 nd picks. :
with this sort of thinking things certainly will turn for the worst.

Great to see the young blokes killing them with the Burgers. Gives us a small ray of hope of the 2011 plan....

Good signs but big difference between VFL & AFL

Wholeheartedly agree claw. I cant believe that people rate these guys so highly. As Isaid in another post thses guys wont be aorund to take us to a premiership so why botheriwth them now. For plyers of their skill and ability they simply dont hurt the opposition enough. We can point the finger at the coaches including Frawley for their lack of skill and ability....but for years we have been the same one dimensional side when put under the pump and for years we come up witht he same lame excuses.

Tough Times Tough Decisions.

Ferals being the operative word claw. ;D

Farcical to blame 3 or 4 players for the woes at Tigerland at the moment. The problem has been in the past recruiting of players like Flemming, Marsh, Weller, Nichols, Hudson, Morrison, Johnson and a plethora of others rather than opting to pick up some talented youth via the draft.

You start by offloading your worst first, unfortunately our "Worst First Folder" was a bit fuller than most. ;D

 

[Tigerfan]

if we lose today we can't finish any higher than 12th (mathematically).
