Just walked out of the Gabba and still amazed at Andy 's efforts. Just never dropped his head all night and kept working and working all game. Paid off in the last quarter.

He'd be up to 9 wet beach towels after that performance!

Go Tigers you make me proud.

Andy may be up to 9 beach towels Rusty but I reckon you have regressed back to half of a torn tissue with all the hammering your poor pocket pal has been enduring over Andy's form! :p

Oh & as for Collins... love his work & most of all, skill & decision making.

Not that my opinion means anything but I have been thinking nearly, nearly, nearly.

Tonight, I think he may have crossed the line in the sand. If Andy keeps improving I think he may make and I am a hard marker . Keep it going!!!!!

Needs to continue on with that form to assure me he is an upgrade
on Morton or Nahas it's that medium to small role he seems to play best in , don't forget Morton and Nahas have played games at least as equally as good as Andy did play against Brisbane !!

someone when he first got drafted described him as an old fashioned centreman how apt.a natural footballer who uses well and knows where to go. some were calling for his head without looking at his strengths and weaknesses. he like connors have always had the tools to play at afl level and become good consistent players unlike others on our list.

hes taken time to come along for just two reasons. 1 op 2 size both are now being rectified.

Totally agree Santa , the beauty with most young players is that they are natural foot ballers and that is why they are drafted in the first place. Andy just had to wait half a year too long to be given an opportunity with Wallace and missed the last 8 rounds of 09 with a hip injury he sustained against the Crows at Carrarra.

The new coaching staff have finally figured out that Andy has good goal sense and it is paying dividends. I was so excited when I saw Raines go to him on Saturday nite , I couldn't stop laughing as I new Andy was going to have a big night for sure.

Keep up the good work Andy . Next up is your 30 possession 4 goal break out game. I'm predicting Carton towards the end of the year where you'll rip the stands down at the G

thats a bit harsh on wallace. look i was calling for him to get games in 08 but didnt realise he was still battling op. ive named him in nearly every side ive named since 08. some mates saw a bit of him at coburg and were wrapt.
i think a poster called leysey days over at pre did cartwheels when we drafted him old leysey has proved to be a pretty astute observer of the kids over the yrs.

Very good drafting when you look St it that way. Collins had OP in his first year. In 08 he was named emergency 3 times late in the year. Nearly got a game v Hawkes in round 19 from memory. Either either Wallace could never bite the bullet and play youth.

Andy would of Bern better for the taste of it in 08
