Welcome to Tigerland - Tim Taranto

[momentai]

fair enough

but I dont really want spirited responses. our list is in terrible shape, as you'd 100% expect post dynasty.

I want to tank against west coast to get Jagga Smith,

and get the party started again ASAP.

and I get why thats a disagreeable position.

Got to make sensible decisions about our youth. Got to give all those thought at or near the required standard to have a few games to show their ability.
Players like Graham, Grimes and McIntosh may reasonably be left out, to allow those opportunities to arise.

That isn't tanking. Keep away from such a notion. From every point of view it stinks and would do damage.

FFS. It’s going to get to the point where we can’t even field a team.

Can we ask for a concessions
Tram?
Food?
Entry??

Some posters were saying we should field our VFL team a few weeks back, we might be there shortly.

Gotta feeling these players have never been 100% fit for the last few years.....and never admitted it to the coaches. Small things like this become big injuries later.

Not enough wrist exercises...

Now we have Tim out for a few a weeks with an injury. I wonder what we have done to the injury gods to upset them so much. The way things are going, anytime soon we will have more of our playing group on the injury list than being able to play

It’s important for men’s health, especially the prostate that you regularly wa..……um continue to strengthen; your wrists as you get older

I just said the backline…and yes that came to the fore.

So you're seriously thinking that with the injuries we've been having the last month or so, that we should just drop a few fit experienced players and give even more kids a run. Just in case someone somewhere might be maybe a little talented. What do you think might be a good mix? Five experienced players starting on the bench and eighteen kids to start from the opening bounce, that'd be a good balance wouldn't it?

We can barely field a team and you want to drop more senior players?

Won't happen.

Spot on I would drop them if all was available, but they aren't that's the problem.

Didn’t say that at all.

If all are fit and we can’t make it into another finals series then these three plus others are likely to be asked to make way.

Ahhh I see now. That's the little bit you left out of your initial post. " If all the players are fit " then we could maybe drop some for kids.

You need to go back and edit "if all are fit" back into your post

Just signed a 6 yr extension to make sure he gets to 100 games

Damn did we miss him today. Just showed his value.

Bloody oath! His absence stood out like dogs balls.

Sunday showed us how much Tim does for us in a game when our second string mids had no leader there to show them the way
