No. His older brother is 100 times a better player, and even he is lucky to be in the team atm.

Meanwhile, Riewoldt gets away with not one but two instances of using studs up, kicking his opponent underneath the ball. Christian really is an inept imbecile.

The Bad: We are yet to play our best football The Good: We are yet to play our best football

Agree SONS. Quite a few around me (and myself included) reckon we are lacking that ruthless killer instinct at the moment

It's very apparent at the ground that our small forwards have been [censored] useless. The likes of Kozzie, Spargo and ANB need to lift. Trac playing like he thinks he's a world beater. No need to thrill us with every touch, just do the simple things.

Petty is nowhere near the level needed. As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

He needs some confidence (will come with time) and a big pre-season in the gym (strength not size).

Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second. Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

Yep, must be very hard to stay switched on and be “up” every single week. It’s new territory for the playing group and a majority of us supporters. I’m finding it a little taxing myself, and am now starting to think more about when our first loss will come rather than keep riding the wave of momentum.

Tigers starting to have the stench of thinking that they can just turn it on whenever they need to. I suppose that type of arrogance only comes from sustained success, however their hunger is clearly missing and when that goes, it ain’t as easy as simply flicking a switch. Tigers time at the top is over. Only hope that I can one day say the same thing with the Dees.

Kossie should have told Jack to stick that arm he raises after every goal up his ar$e

They are very much out of vogue. Upsetting for Tommo, but I’d go down the normal graft acl route. Get his recovery right and his knee will be as good as new.

our team should be really fresh for next weeks game, given half of them didn’t seem to warrant putting in too much effort (captain included).

Jack and his [censored] foot. Next TMAC will start having problems with his toe. Gosch’s needs to be dug up and relaid, even if to make sure that it isn’t a contributing factor.

To go on top of his current contract, another 5 years would take him through to 2027 (where he would be turning 32 prior to the 2028 season). 5 years would be more than sufficient. As i doubt he'd be looking to start at another club at 32 years old and after 13 years with the Dees.

Played with a broken nose too

Agree @jnrmac, utter bs. They just missed out on Kozzie the same way they just missed out on Jack Viney.

Wish him all the best. He's had to deal with a lot of [censored] the past few years, hope luck falls his way.

Might need to be the Weid + Harmes. I’d still do the trade (if BB turns out like we hope and LJ continues to impress), as you need to bat deep in the midfield.

IMO it has something to do with belief. This group was riding a wave of momentum during our September run in 2018. Instead of thinking we should be there or that we belong there, maybe this group finally understands that actions and actions alone get you there. Maybe they have finally decided that they are there.

Puck em. Embrace it. Keep winning and stick it up the lot of them.

Hope we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot against North the following week.

All things must come to an end. Tigers’ will experience theirs. I just hope to hell that I get to experience going through it with the Dees.

Whilst it can be said for the majority of the team today, Brayshaw was bog ordinary for the first 3 quarters (and i don’t like him as a winger). Maybe try TMac on a wing as a link up tall (Max can’t continually be relied upon to be that link man and will need time to rest either up forward or on the bench) and then have Langdon patrol the ‘quiet’ wing, as his pace and endurance is first rate, as is his unwavering effort. The question then turns to what we do with Gus, but I’d definitely have TMac in ahead of him atm.
