Tigerland pace

Damn - Lids, Meyer, O/N, Tambling - a team of players with jets in their boots. The two year wait while a lot of these young players bulk up and build up their endurance to go with their pace is going to be very hard to cope with. Until then it is flashes of brilliance and inexplicable, from our perspective, sojourns in the twos.

Id have danny meyer in the top bracket - he is lightning. Also speed with the ball - rodan must go close - have u all forgotten his massive sprints with the pill??? he used to go too quick for his mind and root his kick!!

Do you all remember the massive sprints by Mitchell? He would run so fast he would leave the ball behind. He was a very good player in a very weak side.
 
just remember ferals having pace is one thing getting your hands on the ball is another.
 
Dont blame the recruiters guys for our lack of pace in recent years it was the bloody major sponsor TAC speed kills ,they wernt aloud to get quick players now we got rid of them were like a drag strip(not sydney type)

"Drink Drive Bloody Idiot" wasn't exactly a positive sign for our players to subconsciously read everyday they walked or trained around Punt Road oval.

At least it wasn't "Speed Kills', that would have given Deledio nightmares.

Well
Deledio
Tambling
JON
Meyer
White can all play
 
ok, the thought of pace is very exciting but a lot of the players on the list also fall into another category. and that is skill. there is no doubt GM and TW were targeting speed and skill in this years draft
