Arnot Out. Vlastuin in

[Tiger_man322]

Bit disappointed at the change this week. Arnot showed enough to warrant a 2nd game this week I felt. I feel like the change is based on giving Vlastuin game time purely based on the fact that he was our 1st pick this year. Both excited about the players, but just a little disappointed in Arnot being dropped.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

I think it's based on Vlastuin being a better player. Nothing else!

 

[BC9_]

We are seriously playing to keep our position in the 8, this game is a round 1-type match. Vlastuin simply improves the line up IMO.

Sure when a midfielder is injured, Arnot will get the call up again.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I think Arnot will be back in soon enough. No way he keeps out Vlastuin though.

You've just encountered depth, my friend

 

[prodigy]

Stiff!

 

[Wally Matera]

Not stiff at all. We've won 4 games on the trot and there are better players than him. Go back to the reserves and show that your not there just for back up. Until then, enjoy the road trips to Bendigo, Ballarat, etc.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Let's be honest Vlas has had 1 standout game, a few solid ones and a fair share of 'did he even play?' games. Shows great promise no question but I reckon Arnot being dropped after playing exactly the role we NEED in this game to a tee (ie a hard-nosed tackling machine) seems a little counter-productive.

 

[Pounce]

We finally have some depth because we have a decent list. Normally we don't have to make tough decisions like this one but it is a good problem to have. Good teams like Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn will give a younger player a game if one if their established players is injured, when the established player is fit again he comes back into the side, and the younger player out.This is a good strategy because the established player is the better player. Arnot will get another chance when of one our midfielders is out of the side.

My word he is stiff. If he had played between 1983 and 2012 his debut performance would have had him lining up the next week !

 

[Tiger_man322]

Arnot was in top 5 for tackles last week. Something we lack every week (ranked 18th!) His ball use was outstanding and attack on the ball was something else. Vlas is a good player, better pehaps, but with this 'depth', shouldn't he go back into the 2's to earn his spot back? He's a first year player and somehow slots straight back into the 1's? No, would rather much see him earn his spot back, or if Arnot or someone else had a crap game this week.

I have noticed him in every game. Has not put a foot wrong although was quiet in the Bulldogs game and was injured later in the game. Expect him to bounce back against the roos, Arnott is good, but Tigger is better.

Is Vlas an established player though? First year vs a first year. Don't understand how Arnot gets dropped for Vlas based on his performance last week.

 

[sante]

Tough for him but he only came in because Vlas was injured. He'll get another opportunity.

 

[WATiger86]

Tough School. Depth's a bitch eh?!

If White continues to play the sub role, Arnot may get a crack at the sub while whitey gets a few full games under his belt at the burgers.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Gone with a little extra pace which I have no issue with . Arnott was ok last week but he does lack leg speed and agility and would have been exposed more this week .

 

[RichoLedio]

Good to see this is the worst thing we've got to whinge about at the moment

 

[jreesosb]

Floss is the better player, but like many I'm a tad disappointed with biscuits omission
Haven't had this kind of feeling for a couple of decades

Bang on, Darth. Has been good, to excellent, in all of his games, bar his last, against The Dogs. Still took a nice contested mark and kicked a goal. Expecting him to continue his ripping season.

You really must be drunk.

Yeah its interesting the blind love so many have for biscuits. I mean, I am a big fan after Sunday's game, but Vlastuin is a better option. I thought maybe White would be dropped instead, but the match committee thinks otherwise

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Vlaustin has won all the important contests in his career so far. Whether it's a composed handball in defense or a pressure relieving kick. Arnott doesn't have the same vision or composure. Vlaustuin will play defense I think and Ellis back to a wing role.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

You really must be drunk.

His nothing games were rounds 1-4

 

[Wacky Tiger]

You've just encountered depth, my friend

Could not have said it any better myself. We are entering new frontiers here. Everyone busting their arse playing for their spots equals good times to be a tiger supporter

 

[Jimmybob]

I'd be happy with either player in.. let's just hope Vlastuin plays a good game or he'll lose his spot to Arnot very quickly.

Absolute ****ing love this depth
