Ford, Duursma, Darling, Zurhaar

Darling plays as a genuine key forward. It’s a short term play regardless.

Jury is out on Ford.


Look at what we have invested in the midfield (draft) and compare that to up forward.

We’re screaming out for a talented hybrid forward who can change a game. I think Duursma will be that.

Zurharr will play a role, but I think we’re seeing his ceiling.

They are all 189-191cm forwards. We need genuine tall and small forwards. Gollant doesn't make any sense.

:think:

Prestia, Lynch, Broad, McIntosh, Vlastuin, Nankervis, Short, Hopper, Taranto, Miller, Balta, Mansell, Ross, Koschitzke, Ralphsmith have all played 50+ and probably at least a dozen of them are starters.

Doubt we take any DFAs. Maybe one max. Think we'll pump games into the kids for a couple of years before looking to free agents.
I still don't the Tigers winning a game next season, but like I said why would you care given you've just won 3 premierships.

No issue with getting a handful of kids and looking forward to the next run. It's what we did but it comes with plenty of pain.

I don't watch Tigers games, so I can't really comment on that list. If you believe in that group then fair enough.

You/we are in for a lot of disappointment if we believe Darling is a 'genuine' key forward. He is no where near being able to play that role and cannot expected to do so in 2025.

However we certainly need a 'genuine' 2nd key forward - Teakle was by far our best option as evidenced in that run of games where we looked like causing an upset - but Darling isn't it.

Teakle, Comben, W Dawson, CCJ and then Darling would be the order of their ability to play a genuine 2nd key forward in 2025.

Depth is very poor in that area and this was the year we needed to fix it - but alas we haven't been able to.

Of course we'll win a game. How many times has that been suggested recently? and how many times has it actually occurred? The answer is 0. Last time was 1964.

Bit strange to have an opinion on how many games we'll win on one hand, then admit to not knowing the list on the other 👍

Darling can play as a genuine KPF for the next 2 years. He is a big upgrade on pink and will help with structure and teashing the young players coming through.

Chom will settle back for another year.

The question I'm still asking is where are we playing Will Dawson. I thought he looked great as a back but we started to play him forward. I feel that will impact who we draft. Tauru is probably similar in he could be drafted as KPF or KPB. I prefer KPF for him.

How many of those above mentioned will be on the list in 2026? In 2027?

Every year a team gets the "wont win a game" every year they win one. Will happen again. Your midfield still has potentially Nank, Taranto and Hooper who can win games for you. A team will lose every game in a season again at some stage though. I dont think it will be Tigers though
 
Harry lemmey i rate will be a cheap one for next year when out of contract, they played him a bit in defence in vfl but he should be playing forward

just that he's never getting in over harry and curnow

There were a couple of games late in the season where both curnow and Mackay were injured, yet played kemp as a makeshift fwd not Lemmey?????

But you only won 2 this year and that was with all those above plus Rioli, Bolton and Graham!

i Think taking those delist options from other clubs is the epitome of getting list cloggers. If developed with Mckay and Curnow and still couldnt be a forward i think will fail. Is there a good example of a delisted key forward making any impact at AFL level?

FYI the player being discussed is not delisted Lemmey is contracted for next year

Feel free to message me when you get a win, I'm sure you'll enjoy that. Don't get me wrong, I don't care either way. The Tigers have been very generous to the Roos giving us many of our very few wins over the years.

The Tigers had two wins last season and got weaker in terms of experience, that's what I base it on.
