Great work Wacky T...
Where did you get the Q&A stuff at the bottom?
It would be great if we could find out more 'non football' info about all of our favourite Tigers.

very happy to hear, i rate the sex monster highly and will be crucial this year, his kick outs are beastly for breaking zones, as was seen vs Hawthorn this year. still would like to know why he isnt playing this friday?, maybe hes just being rested because hes too important

I can only imagine this is the case. A healthy Sex Monster playing 20+ games this year goes a LONG way towards us playing for real in september.

Wish we had two healthy versions of him. You see how bloody good up forward he can be with his athleticism, marking ability and can kick goals from 65 out without much effort, but then you see what a weapon down back he is as well. It's a nice little problem to have I suppose.

Just an observation on Griff...

Looking real fit and strong and robust at the moment & for the first time so with a clear run without injury I am deffinitely looking forward to what he might offer.

I'm tipping plenty!

Expecting Big things from Big Ben. If he can lockdown CHB we will make the finals

So after round 1 it seems a lot of u guys are giving my Benny a tough time.

Keep the faith people. He will come good and settle into that back 6 for us nicely.
