Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[TASSIETIGER2]

Kmac for me, speed and grunt MC was ok today but so was Eggs and CJ

 

[spook]

Im a big fan of marlion.

But i thought eggs was our best today.

However, its about The Process

And Kmac doesnt just know it, he lives it.

Kmac in for graham

If we were GWS, id play Marlion for sure

But we are richmond and they are gws

You weren't at the ground. Marlion was the best. Unquestionably.

 

[eZyT]

You weren't at the ground. Marlion was the best. Unquestionably.

Fair enough.

Ill still give you 5-1 marlion debuts this year

And 1-10 kmac plays

I was at the ground.
Let’s agree that everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Yours has foundation because Marlion has got a Prince Planet sized medallion around his neck but it is far from unquestionably.
Many have Eggy and Morro from what I can see, including myself

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Pickett was good but eggs was bog.

i dont mind bringing in. ross.. Ross might not have the grunt of graham but brings a bit more speed

I thought the same about Eggs.

 

[spook]

Fair enough.

Ill still give you 5-1 marlion debuts this year

KMac only plays if Broad has a seizure. Otherwise, it's Ross or Pickett.

It was unanimous from the Norm Goss judges, and everyone I spoke to, and beyond doubt in my mind. But you're entitle to your opinion, those other boys were great too.

 

[eZyT]

It sounds like Eggs has a pretty strong case for the PRE medal?

The bookies are pretty wary of Marlion.

They have him skinnier for the norm smith than our first ruck and our premier small forward.

I'd be excited and astonished in equal measures if the Tigers debuted Marlion in a GF.

Yeah, ok, it'd be 80/20

 

[spook]

Here's the thing. Eggs played great. At half-back. No opponent. Marlion was tagged, and ripped holes in the game.

 

[fastin bulbous]

I’m predicting a debut. You can’t ignore a grand final bog and Ross had a poor game last senior appearance. I wouldn’t want to be a selector and am in 2 minds.

 

[taraba]

Pickett may not have played AFL but that’s more to do with circumstance than anything else. He’s tough and seasoned and no question a finals player. So tempting to bring in but also an unquestionable risk. I would hate to be on the MC for this one.

Im ecstatic to conceed.

And ill defer to live over tv everytime.

But exciting stuff from eggs. I reckon him, stackman and bakes are kind of backline triplets in their composure and decision making under real heat.

But Stackman is exceptional. Id forgotten how *smile* good he is. He was on one leg and everytime he was near the ball, he was either 1. Brilliant or 2. Mm's or a quarter second off something brilliant.

 

[fastin bulbous]

# if it’s wet I’d consider both Ross and Marlion and losing a ruckman

Thought Eggs scrambled really well today. Morro unfashionably awesome

Eggs has a future, no doubt. Stack of course has a massive future, but he's done for the year.

We were discussing that no matter the weather. But Dimma hearts Nank.

Agreed. Morro arrested the momentum when they had all of it. And Eggs has developed great composure and takes good options with lovely execution.

 

[achillesjones]

Marlion will be great for us next year. I thnk we might be better to go with KMac who better knows running patterns etc

 

[jb03]

He was fantastic today and a deserved medalist. But it would be madness to play him next week, and off a six day break when Ross was clearly rested for the purpose.

 

[123cups]

Ross has played 2 AFL games since breaking his ankle 3-4 months ago, was dropped, and hasn’t stood out in the VFL since.

It would be hard to understand the justification that he’s more likely to adapt to the pace of AFL than Marlion if that is indeed the reason he was pulled out of the VFL Grand Final.

But then again, we don’t really know what role Dimma is asking of them, so it’s hard to judge.

 

[Leysy Days]

Agree with JB.

Pickett BOG. Swung it our way with toughness and class when it mattered.

However, Ross was clearly rested for Graham. Likewise kMac for Broad.

If either of those two miss it will be for those straight swaps ILO.

MP can be a massive addition for us next year though.

 

[tigertime2]

Marlion can play.

I would play him. Some players excel at the higher level...Marlion is that player.

 

[Baron Samedi]

Christ, Nank and Soldo will own the hit outs to advantage next Saturday.

Richmond have a golden opportunity here.

Play a bloke who roves superbly, or the bloke who wins the ball back of the oppo?

Be bold, Tigers.
