Can one of you Tiger fans tell me how quick he was before (and after) he did his knee?

Just wondering... as the guy has been a dinosaur-like for us, and I'm wondering if his pace will improve with match fitness.

He is generally quite slow and probably getting slower.
Does he look like he wants to play footy?

Well he wasn't called meccano man for nothing!

We haven't missed him and you know how we've been travelling He was always slow and since his knee injury has just got slower. After all we are still paying part of his salary just to get rid of him.

holly was like a prancing mare i used to call him big log but i liked him

Thanks - he hasn't been too bad for us, but I was expecting more. He is far too slow to play CHB and is basically a full time FP.

Wasn't worth pick 20 but takes a heap of pressure off Neitz and Miller, who are both playing terrific footy.

he has great hands but that is about all. in 2001 was in fantastic form on the slower taller oponents like mckernan, would rack up 20+ possessions off half back in some games and kill his opponent. in the qualifying final against essendon sheeds left lucas on the bench so holland would have no one to play on - has no versitility and the tactic killed us. since the knee has struggled to have any impact

he still is and always has been a reasonably strong mark and with him working out of the goalsquare with neitz it does take a load of pressure of neitz

even if he only kicks 1-2 goals a game thats 1-2 goals less that neitz would have had to kick last year
