On any level, line for line the Tiger team that walked out on the MCG on Friday night has both the 1995 and 2001 well and truly covered.
In my opinion, based on the position played only 4 players from 1995 would get a game in the current team and maybe 8 from the 2001 side, but to include 8...
Interesting to put this list of players together to form a pretty solid back 6
B. Newman(17) Grimes(7) Moore(0)
HB. Connors(3) Astbury(5) Batchelor(16)
The six players above played a total of 48 games between (33 between Batch and Newie) them and none played in the last 5 rounds. Astbury was...
Little has been said about the return of Foley, maybe because we all knew what he was capable of and how good he was.
I was really concerned that he may never be the player that he once was but evry week these fears are allayed even further.
His return and subsequent impact should not be...
My 7 year old had a visit today from Daniel connors who turned up with a number 1 and a number 9 that he signed for my sons jumper.
Often the negatives about players are posted on here but for a player to do this on his own time Christmas Eve I might add shows just how top a bloke he is.
My son...
With both Grigg and Houli keen to get to Tigerland, if the right deal can be struck to make it worthwhile for us to proceed, which of these players would the BF Tigers prefer?
Baby steps and realistic expectations of the group is is something we should all keep in mind.
I'm sure that if we all went back to round 8 and assessed what we would consider a positive result for the year, the answer would have a been, hopefully a couple of wins and consistent and noticeable...
Only 2 goal kickers this week and only 4 last week.
Jack really needs some help and Morton really looked out of sorts today.
Still not sure if Nahas is the answer at Jacks feet
Maybe Roberts or Taylor should be back in the side and give them a chance to settle in, or maybe Connors should play...
Why is it that so many posters think that they are important enough, and think that the trash they write in the bay has enough credibility to be considered worthy of of being official.
To all those that start threads claiming their thread to be official this or the official that, this is the...

Good article and this part shows that we really are doing it the right way this time.
The average number of games per player was just 44 across the 22 that faced Melbourne on Sunday with 13 players having played 30 games or...
I watched the Port game this afternoon and it almost made me cry.
This was the most complete team oriented second effort game that Schulz has ever played and it was his first hit out with Port.
What the hell do we do that is so wrong because today for only the second or third time in his career...
I truly doubt that all the doom and gloom suggested for season 2010 for the Tigers could actually offer up a few pleasant surprises.
My tip is 8-11 wins and there will be a few BF posters eating humble pie come years end
I doubt the 8 is a realistic target but I think to have us the wooden...
My 2009 season highlight came with 7 minutes and 31 seconds to go in the Geelong Collingwood Prelim when the camera went to Eddie McMagpie.
He was shattered ... It truly brought a tear to my eye.

Well done Cats:thumbsu::thumbsu: and thank you for...
I normally give 54321 but could only find 3 players worth a vote tonight
3/ Deledio (could have won a second JD medal on the back of his last 8 weeks)
2/ Titch (never stopped trying)
1/ Cuz (what a workhorse)
What is the story with Tambling?????
He has had the best 12 weeks of his career playing off half back and dominating and for the last 3 weeks while we have been getting pumped he has been languishing in a forward line that the ball is not getting into???
It is interesting to note that he was...
A question to all...
Regardless who is appointed coach of the Tigers going forward, with the players curently at our disposal, where do you see us battling for on the ladder come round 18 2011?
I think we have underperformed massively this year and our place on the ladder does not do any justice...
For me the candidates I don't want to see get the job are Alan Richarson, Peter Sumich, Damian Hardwick (He has been rejected enough times to suggest there is some sort of problem with what he has to offer), Dean Laidley (I would love Laidley to be behind the scenes), Justin Leppitsch, and Mark...
It would be an interesting scenario if the wheels fell off at Collingwood over either of the next 2 seasons.
If Collingwood fall well down the ladder next year and the year after Collingwood have put themselves in a situation where they cannot sack Malthouse.
He is contracted to be the...

Great to see that in such a bleak season that a true feel good story can still happen.
Hutchison was punched in the face during a drinking session at the Bush Inn in Toorak. The Tigers supporter is believed to have lashed out at Hutchison after his treatment...
Which of these players would you choose if you could have any in your team. Heath Shaw, Lindsay Gilbee, Jason Gram, James Kelly, or Nathan Bock.
All play similar rebounding and carry roles and all are top line players but who would be your choice as most valuable as an addition to the team you...
I have spoken to a mate today who often supplies me with rumours out of Tigerland (about 50% turn out correct) so I guess that means there is a 50% chance this is wrong.
Malthouses management has supposedly spoken to the RFC and asked what sort of deal the Tigers would offer MM if he goes...
There is a new Tiger in the world Oliver Jack Bannan and in his birth notice it says "another Tiger Cub"
Does anyone have the number for the department of human services.
These people need to be reported for child abuse...... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!:eek:
Was it just me???
Buckley at half time was really talking up some of our kids and the fact that we played such a good second quarter and when Bruce asked him if he wanted the Tigers job he was very quick to poiint out he has not been contacted but would certainly welcome a call.
Almost seemed a...
I woke at 6.30 in the morning after having little sleep due to the excitement brought on by the fact I was going to watch the Mighty Tigers take on the Blues in the grand final.
The Tigers were going into the game as the Favourite and deserved to be and the crap that had been flying at school...
