If Salem is fit he comes in, probably for ANB, who has had low disposals and high turnovers, despite his pressure acts. I would rest Vince for a game and save him the travel as well, on the back of a 6 day turnaround and a heavy recent load. That makes a spot for Viney if he is to come straight in. Garlett is the interesting one, with poor recent form, but 5 match winning goals last time at the Gabba. To be honest, I would save Viney the travel and play him the next week at the G against the Blues and just do the two changes above, Salem and Jeffy for ANB and Vince. BTW any talk of dropping Spargo is mad, he is a revelation. Has not made a mistake. We need to get as many games into him, Bayley and Weid as possible. PS. A big hello to the Oscar haters of last year, he has been nothing short of sensational and is becoming one of our most important players.

Well you were at odds with nearly every club at that time. BTW, until being screwed by the club, by being made captain at 21 of a shambles of a side and then copping a few foot injuries, JT was a good player for us who looked headed to playing 200 games with us.

Those Blues just keep on breaking records. Here is hoping they create two more in the next two weeks, to go 0-9.

We need to get over this one, as both the GWS player and JT were clearly rated ahead of Dusty by every club. Port even offered us 2 picks under 10 for JT and we refused. Kelly in reverse. But back to Dusty, he was offered to all clubs by his manager about 3 years ago and the Tigers were prepared to deal, but not one club stepped up. That is after he had played about 5 years with the Tigers and had been seen by every club. So how can you go back and criticise his not being taken as an untried 18 year old, in front of the 2 highest ranked players in the draft? The two I can't get over and I know we need to move on, are Jimmy instead of Ollie and Lucas Cook instead of anyone else.

Tim is actually a nice bloke. He is also self effacing and funny. The dislike for him on here is not deserved. One comment and some on here become so precious it is just ridiculous.

I have been pleasantly surprised by his ruckwork since his return to the side. He actually looks quite at home there and has created several clearances for us with his work. As he gets more games under his belt and develops physically, he could be a very good player for us with his versatility as a key forward/relieving ruck. Having two or three rotating key tall forwards is certainly straightening us up.

Jetta was punched in the face by Dunstan, with the umpire right there. No reversal. No free. No report. No nothing.

Totally agree Jr this is crap. Why is Goodwin not defending Jesse like other coaches would and do. Why is the punch to Jetta not being highlighted. The umpire was a few metres away and side on with an unimpeded view and paid the free instantly. So therefore unless Jesse gets a smashed windpipe he is a stager. Give me a break. Ben Brown now goes to ground every arm chop and gets a free. No one calling him a stager. No other footy stories today obviously so trash someone else’s reputation.

Not sure if CP and Hogan play or if we win or lose, but playing them without Nick and Joey is a big plus for us.

Be careful of the poison ivy.

Pity ANB can't do that in a match.

Kane can't see the difference between a player swearing and an official swearing at a player, right in front of the crowd on the boundary line.

Fair enough. We currently have 5 top 22 players on the injury list while the Saints have 2.

We now have 11 players on the injured list, the Saints have 4.

If he was I wouldn’t comment.

Can’t disagree with that.

Waiting for some genius to come up with ” Prince.”

Seems a number of coaches have gone to the bench to talk directly to players including Clarko.

Spoke to him at the game in the last quarter on Sunday and he was pretty happy with the boys.

Will be very happy to see us signing the Big Macs for several years. Vital cogs in our best 22.

Were we the chalk or the cheese?

Yes Tyson is an inside mid, but as you concede has poor disposal both by foot and hand. He is also quite slow, both physically and mentally, taking too long to decide his best option. That said his best footy for us has been as an inside mid and playing away from there has exposed his deficiencies. Harmes is not a mid let alone an inside mid and plays his best footy as a small lead up forward who can apply strong pressure on the opposition defenders. IMO they are both being played out of position and we are therefore not getting the best out of them. Another player in the same boat is Salem, who is also not an inside mid, but rather an outside player with great delivery skill. He is ok off the back flank where he can get room and would probably be even better on a wing. Lastly, I am still trying to work out why Tom Mc was on a wing for some time in the second quarter. It seemed stupid.

Don't forget our own Ollie Wines, Jimmy Toumpas.

A comment to a female employee about her clothing, at a xmas party 4 years ago and settled. Move on. .

Tigers have one player injured, Daniel Rioli.
