I like how we're saving Towno.

 

[MadTigerFan]

Butler? ewwww

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Naish doesn't even get a token spot on the Emergencies as a pat on the back? What's he got to do to get a look in?

I’m glad they did the right thing with Rioli, give him some time to get some touch and form back. Hopefully Butler doesn’t disappoint this week.

Also can we please stop with the Mia digs? I know it’s all tongue in cheek but she’s a 19 year old teenager. She doesn’t deserve it. The only one to blame for Rioli’s form is Rioli.

george will have 40 and 3 now that buttler is back

 

[dustysnecktattoo]

Seems most will disagree but still surprised Rioli was dropped

 

[Vassp]

Right selection from the coaching staff, they’ve been here watching my posts and finally saw the light

Cotch got 3 Brownlow votes against Norf last time.

That game was a demonstration of “If Dusty don’t get ya, Cotchin must”

Jacobs blanketed Dusty all day but Cotchin tore them to shreds. They shifted the tag onto Cotchin in the end but then Dusty got off the chain and won it for us.
Not many sides have 2 quality taggers, that’s why having two premium mids is so powerful.

Butler in for Rioli ! Well it’s no use having depth in a position if we aren’t going to use it when players aren’t performing up to the level they are expected.

Hopefully Rioli goes back & plays well kicks some goals in the 2’s

Anyone see the footage of tim lunch at training?

Looked very sore still

 

[Cotcho]

Mmmm interesting with Seymour coming in for Rioli. Let's hope he's learnt how to kick on his left, not run into traffic and not overrun the ball. He's played some good and some s**t so here's hoping

He's just been coasting for ages. Butler was the same pre-axeing.
Head wouldn't fit between the goal posts.
Hopefully the message gets through to Rioli as it seems to have with Butler.

Butler in,some needed ground speed.

Rioli must be a bit sore still.

Like the look of the team,Cotch will be like a Tiger eyeing off a delicious magpie snack in the trees.

Good to see us picking on form not reputation. That didn't happen last week.

Rioli looks better on a team sheet, Butler is in better form. No one is safe in this team. You must perform.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Rioli has been mediocre for weeks.
Hope to see regain form.
However, Butler is in better form and warrants selection.

He's been very good the last two weeks in the VFL.

Chimp should have played 1 vfl game to get some touch back imo

Na, flies first-up.

Put his body on the line. Defend. Put on a few more kgs.

Love the INs.

Butler has deserved a recall, hopefully a period in the ressies has given him a sting to take it up a notch and demand a spot second half of this season.
I still reckon Butler has the highest ceiling of any of our small fwds.

Hope they haven't rushed Cotch.

 

[sante]

Good changes. Butler will be keen for a big one. He’ll know a bad game means he’s out for Rioli

 

[Old M8]

Rioli must be a bit sore still.

He's fit. He will be playing VFL.

I wish people would stop making excuses for him.

 

[Bazzar]

Rioli was a token In last week. Dreamtimegate. It will be good to see how buttler's goes. I'm tipping a good game

 

[Dr Awkward]

Looking at North's team they are not a bad side and I reckon they'll improve back half of this year.

Tigs by 65

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Rioli will ask for a trade to freo now and take MR Jnr with him.



Isn't that how it's done Shazza_

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Must have been line ball between dropping Rioli or Bolton.
Bolton just shaded Rioli's performance.

Ok then.
