Bowden?

Hello Newman! · Mar 15, 2005

With Terry stating that he wants to play Johnson and Tivendale of the half back line, where does everyone think his preferred position for Joel is?

GhostofJimJess · Mar 15, 2005

Maybe a James Hird type role, Newman. With a little more emphasis on the defensive rather than the totally unaccountable freelancing that James tends to get away with on a regular basis.

Joel's not really capable of holding down a key forward role, though, and he's always been a far better proposition with his bum pointing towards the opposition goal, rather than providing blokes up the ground with a marking target on or around our 50.

I wouldnt be surprised if bowden played off the wing and then half forward this year. Is a handy goalkicker when on song.

madtiger2005 · Mar 16, 2005

left half back flank

Bentleigh · Mar 16, 2005

Center Half Back. My best 22 would have Schultz as the CHB, Bowden as a Corns type rebounding defender.

However I beleive Wallace will play him everywhere; wing/onball/back/forward

Thats what i reckon. TW will use him in whatever position will suit us on the day

I don't like this Tivendale on the half backline idea.Frawley tried it heaps with he and Fiona last few seasons.It didn't work well then and I doubt it will in the future.

Tivendale is one of the most unaccountable footballers going around.He's always been like that.Why make him something he isn't.Wing is his position.He's a lovely long kick and knows how to get ot on his own.

I like Bowden on the half backline.Just not playing on the best forward.He is our James Clement.Hall is our poors mans Presti and should try an negate the big guy.While Bowden and Jacko create from half back.

Im not fased he if wants to try Tiv in the Aussie Jones role.

As long as he gives it away if it doesnt work.

As for the backline:

Gaspar full back. Schultz CHB.

Bowden playing the Corns/Clement rebounding role.

Haritgan, Jackson, Newman, Kelleway, Graham and co. taking the other postions.

Schit MT ....... i agree with you on something , i`m off for a check-up ...... Ray Hall is not even a poor mans footballer , let alone being compared to that dud like that

Bentleigh · Mar 16, 2005

Ray Hall being a poor mans Prestigiacomo isnt that far off.

yep, tivendale couldn't spoil a dentist visit - let alone a forward. i know he is meant to provide run back there, but i would rather bowden do it, since he has height,- and play as a running CHBF and the cornes type role.

Tiva;s wing or chff

Totally agree evo!

Heres a Question for you is Tivendale Still lucky to be at the Club

Yes or no

After last season

As for my mate Joel

not Skipper I would like to see him in the middle or the forward line as he has shown us how good he is.... monday night at the g vs West coast as an example

No, Tiv is not lucky to still be on the list.

You can only cut so many players and we have so much trash at the club Tiv was always safe.

I feel if he is on the 2006 onwards he needs a good year.

jezza · Mar 17, 2005

2004 was a poor year for Tiv, but he was a lot better in years past. I think the club did the right thing in keeping him because there's every chance he will get back to his best (he's got plenty of years left) and the team is going to be better with a firing Tivendale.

Stafford678 · Mar 17, 2005

shows how poor we where then

jezza · Mar 17, 2005

The number of touches doesn't always show how a player was travelling, Tiv really goes missing when we don't have players who can win the ball.

Got to agree with u evonstein.

He's a girly type player with one foot and doesn't belong at HB.

Even Apron Fiona was a better choice FFS.

lmao@ touches.

If u go to a pub and walk around touching woman all night,you end up going home and choking the chicken while your mate,whose put in the hard yards ends up with a glamor sitting on his boat race.

Tivendale is a chicken-choker.

madtiger2005 · Mar 17, 2005

tivva has a good right foot if you actually watch him on a regular basis

Yeah.It's not the worst.

He might be a bit of chicken choker as Oxx puts it but if he has Cogs feeding it out to him he looks a hell of alot better.

He can create.He just needs someone to get the pill and to mind his man for him.

i reckon he might have a good 2005.
