considering our position on the ladder, Its a given we will get a high draft pick, Pavlich as good as he is, isnt the magical solution to solve our problems.

My Heart says If we can upset West Coast who knows? that would give us alot of self belief for the following weeks. Where's there's a will there's a way. Having said that my Head tells me we will we miss the finals by a couple of games. Prove me wrong fella's, prove me wrong.

On performance alone the rev deserves another year, Im a big fan, he wears his heart on his sleeve, theres nothing better than seeing his emotions on game day, which proves how much he bleeds for the club. Imagine how it has been for Tiger fans during the time the rev has been at the helm.

U cant be serious Bruce + Jamar = B.Stanton No way would I trade Bruce. If Only Daniher had the luxury to leave him in the middle all the time.

I agree with you, individuals such as Judd are invaluable, but with Brock, Jones, Johnston etc They would love another target up forward as would neitz and robbo and as brillant as Judd is, Pavlich would make us a better Team.

The Boys put in the effort in, which counts most. Once we chalk up that first win, I think we can string together a few wins. Hopefully it can be this week.

Time is up Bizzell and Ferguson, surely they would have played a few games by now if they are going to be part of the future.

Holland - out Rivers -in

Melbourne by 20 points

Totally agree, When the time comes, he will know he has earned his spot, and will be confident of having an impact rather than spending most of the time on the bench.

Jumpin Jack you are Kidding, It was the perfect tackle, It gave him no chance to offload the ball to his team mates. Yes it was unfortunate that cornes head hit the turf, but it was an accident. nothing more to say

Daniher must believe that the other young players arnt ready, There is no use playing them for the sake of it. It wouldnt be good for their development or mindset to throw them into senoir football and have no influence. I think that Newton is progessing well, and will get his chance at some stage this year.

We are six rounds, I was wondering who would be leading the Best and Fairest count ? I dont think anyone stands out, All have had good and bad games. I think Cam the Bruce would be leading and champion data stats back that up. Any Suggestions ?

Bruce is our Mr Fixit, he goes back, forward and in the Middle. He is a Star and with all the injuries he is being used all over the place. Once we get others back he will slot back on the ball more often and you will be happy again

Its amazing how people can be so quick to shoot down a young player. Sydneys Brett Kirk was delisted by them and returned to the bush and play in the Ovens & Murray league, then got a second chance as a rookie at 23 from memory. And Rodney Eade was going to sack him again until Paul Roos took over and showed faith in his abiltiy as a result he is now one of the AFL's elite players

Bate is an improving player, he is still very raw. He has a good sized body, and a massive kick two great attributes for AFL. Im sure he will be good player in the coming years.

I agree with you Jaded, he held Burgoyne quiet this week and also Goodes the previous week, I think he is improving. Every team needs a good Tagger, and that might be his niche.

Colins best football is yet to come, Once he can string a large number of games together without injury, he will improve and start to show his potential

The new rule of Hands in the Back, is driving me crazy! Surely you should be able to put your hands on someones back, as long as you dont push them out of the contest. Davey was robbed of a goal, and thus victory, when a free kicked was given to Port in the dying moments. This rule needs to be thrown out. There are to many soft free kicks given.

Regardless of the umpiring, we missed to many set shots at goal.

After the retirement of the Tigers Darren Gaspar today, it got me thinking how many years our champion David Neitz has left in the game. When the time comes he will be surely missed, so sit back and enjoy every game he plays.
