I'm all for getting some games and experience into Weed. Part of me is a bit meh on it tho. I hate Richmond more than any club, and it's such a big stage and important game that could be season defining. Against what was the best defence in the game last season with some experienced defenders, he'll more than likely get eaten alive. And that SHOULD be ok. We need to find out about him. Just a shame for the desperate-for-a-win crowd, like me, as Pedo would have been the better in IMHO for the next 4 quarters of MFCs life.

The Allen thing... are they just all about him cos they've seen how Wentz has gone? If so, crazy.

Bloody hell where are these flippin' teams.

Me too. I mean... Like I said I'd have taken, happily, a move from 32 to 15 where Arizona are picking... but if that's out of the question, then my Wentz knee fear wins any Foles debate in my head. Eagles are in a situation where their backup QB is more feared now than some starters. How often in the NFL does that happen. So has anyone earmarked a player with their team's first pick? I have my eye on whatever RB the Eagles identify. I poo-pooed the Blount pickup at the start of last year, and he was absolutely integral the the Eagles year. Not always massive stats, but important goal line carries most weeks, and all through playoffs including a great, great superbowl. I have my eye on Chubb... the RB variety... who will still be there at 32.

Yeah. "May." I was more "hoping" he'd get traded as I wanted that first rounder. But wasn't interested in a late second rounder, as Jimmy G got better than that. Always felt pre season or early 2018 was most likely, but certainly didn't see a minor contract extension coming, not in today's day and age of fast and furious trades. It was an extension they didn't need to do, so I'm pretty pleased they tried to help him out.

I think we all settled on that. The debate was more about what he'd be worth in a trade, rather than the likelihood. I thought all along that with Wentz's knee being as it was, the preference would be either a first rounder, or to keep him. As you say, it'll go on and on the will-they-won't-they talk. Part of me thinks they might eventually tire of the speculation and move him on just to stop the external noise.

Eagles are still partying... Won't be attending at all. Interestingly, they hosted the draft last year, and within a few months hoisted the Lombardi in the same place. After all the Dallas trolling. Pretty sweet. Only problem with that... It's in Dallas this time. So speaking of draft... How we feeling @Macca @Clintosaurus @Gorgoroth @Kraken @JV7 @DeeSpencer? Any early picks? Aside from the usual QB talk, I'm interested in Barkley the most. Will he be Zeke or Richardson? And what about Chubb? Speaking of QBs.... The Foles trade didn't end up happening @Macca

Not good that it seems like there's not too much to work with. Particularly from the guys who've been in the system for a few years. Baker, Petty and Spargo at least a little cause for optimism. Guys around the JKH age range... really disappointing.

Yup. Misread. Never mind me.

I might have misunderstood. I'm hearing some names of players that have played a lot of senior footy in the AFL, and that have good futures. Bolton, Markov... and some other like Miles who get no love. They're no names in the AFL... but in the VFL? As for us, yeah, a lot of NQRs.

Our skills are deplorable. Looking over the whole list, we might only have a small handful of players that know how to dispose of the footy.

A lot of AFL-listed players in there for Tigers, aren't there?

Bugg grabbing at his hip. I think he copped a bad corky from the blonde Tigers scumbag.

It's frustrating knowing what some of these kids can do, but seeing the roles they're being asked to play. Spargo is playing as a target like he's a FF. Baker's being given no opportunity to run. Coach them to their strengths, surely.

Umpiring is a joke.

Tigers hit the front. 54 - 50. Tigers looking a cut above in the clinches in the last 30 minutes.

Wow. Not that I'm not grateful that there's a live stream... but the camera couldn't find the ball for about 30 seconds there. And the commentators are getting worse.

47-50 to demons. All Tigers the last 20 minutes tho.

First I've seen of Baker. He seems taller than his listing. And heavier looking.

First couple of minutes a good example of where the Tigers are great and where the demons lack.

36 minute quarter. 50 metre penalty on the siren... and... goal to Flip. He wasn't keen on delivering inside fifty there.

The skills aren't quite what they are in the AFL, probably for good reason... but aside from that. This is good fun to watch.

SPPPPPPAAARGO!

Huge turnaround from Tigers. Cutting us up and making Casey defence look like demons defence.

Reminds me of this guy.
