Go the Biff

Great to see Eliza up and about after that serious back injury she suffered.

These boundary umpires need to get in the gym. And the rucks need to smarten up. Short throw ins are the standard today

He's amusing the hell out of my daughter and I. Sounds like Tony Charlton straight off a BBC training course

Canberra was once an "Aussie Rules" town with a healthy local competition which regularly produced VFL players. The great Alex Jesaulenko probably being the most notable. That all got turned on its head in the early 80s when the NRL first expanded and established the Canberra Raiders. I'd doubt there's any traction in creating the 20th team in the national capital now. That horse bolted 40 years ago

You'd think that a player going through concussion protocols would have to present at the club for monitoring and ongoing assessment. I'd imagine the protocols would give guidelines as to what level of training a player could undertake, depending on what symptoms are being displayed. Some might be told they can run laps. Others sent home and told to stay in a dark room.

And if your Auntie had balls she'd be your uncle. The reality is that Fritsch doesn't have the physical attributes to play the crash and bash KPF role. Go and stand next to him and you'll see. While he's strengthened over the course of his AFL career, he'd still be able to sleep in the shade of a crowbar. I'm of the view that his commitment to pressure and tackling has improved this season. Agree on Jefferson. Young players making their way will have their ups and downs but if doubters have a look at VFL round 1, I reckon they will see that Jeffo’s got a lot to offer and is made of the right stuff.

Brilliant. Just Brilliant. Love watching Kozzie play and he's only just warming up. Could be amongst the best players in the game by the time his next contract is due.

Not a valid one. Group idiocy.

Mitch Brown replacement

Say what you like about Tiger fans but there are tons of the buggers and they are loyal. Even through three decades when all they had to look forward to was finishing ninth, they turned up in droves. Unlike those bandwagoners from Hawthorn

Agreed. May he play brilliantly in losing sides for the duration of his red and black career

Happy birthday @Monbon

Clangovers ? Nice one Richo. Channelling Jobe Watson making up new words

Kick or handball backwards I guess

If Jimmy Munro is at the ground he may well go into the rooms at half time and start whacking his own team mates. This has been dead set heartless. Tigers are walking out of tackles like they're playing against U13s

Tigers v Casey Witch's Hats at the moment

You'd be forgiven for thinking Jacko had been subbed off. Pretty much unsighted in the second half

Liam Jones had some sort of 3rd quarter. JUH has wildly fluctuating effort levels

Can Brett Lovett get a spot ? Started his career with Hawthorn U/19s I believe. Might have played in their Magoos as well before coming to the Demons

Jaded makes a fair point. In one of the training threads this week Viney was reported as being in the rehab group. She's probably noted that and with Dunstan being named, put two and two together and come up with a reasonable answer

Yep. Big Shazza. May have been promoted to Queen Shazza in later instalments

No mate but I'm a fan of his work. One of the better posters over there

Yeah. It was one of Biffinators unofficial previews. He wrote some funny stuff and had a particular knack of getting under the skin of Tiger fans. I think he had one of their irate responses as his signature

I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing. Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large, nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here. Let the kid develop

Are you trying to get him killed Fence ? JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight
