AND Tivendale carved them up for Coburg yesterday. Played a half and booted four goals to lead the Tigers to victory over Frankston.

So what's your point?

VFL is ordinary and a big step up to AFL as we see at Tigerland each and every week!

 

[PHX]

Limbach is a party boy, never will have the fitness for AFL.

Good riddance.

 

[itsintheblood]

Fiora's been ripping it at the saints too isnt he? Or is he??????

All duds.

 

[PHX]

Heh, Fiora.

tigers seem to keep the mediocre drafts players but get rid of the good ones.

tigers got a lot of draft picks running around in the vfl and arent playing particularly well!

Has Tom Roach been in the top 5 players in the VFL? I haven't heard much about him.
I know Limbach is on 30 or so goals but would like to get an idea on how they are really going rather than the ' we always stuff it up ' reaction.

Does anyone think that either of these guys will come back to bite us ?

 

[tigers71]

Thats right thats the VFL not AFL. Are they both up to it?? Maybe maybe not. We see if they both get another chance in the AFL.

Roach will always be a Dud. Nothing he does will change that fact.

Agree. I loved his dad and when I heard we were picking Tommy up got very excited... then I saw him. Must have been an emotional pick-up, you know, son of a legend... get the supporters excited etc... If that was it then what a ****-up.
It makes you wonder what criteria is used with some of these drafts.
IMO a kid needs to have a few boxes checked off in relation to:
Footy nous
skills
strength
speed etc...
It looks to me like Tommy had... actually what was it? Speed only I think... Oh, and a famous last name.
Good luck to him in the VFL. He looked like a nice kid.

Can u point them out to me?

 

[wart101]

who gives a shit, if we were winning you wouldn't care ffs

 

[Bifrost]

Yeah and Rory Hilton is...oh hang on - that's right he's not. Oh and Ty Zantuck is...Oh hang on - that's right he's not.

I remember hearing the same crap being spun about Hilton and Zantuck when we let them go and other clubs picked them up straight away. Rodan is probably the only former Tiger who's shown genuine class once he's moved to another club and I still reckon Foley wouldn't have had the shot he's had if D-Rod was still with us. I mean D-Rod's a fantastic clubman and a good guy and it's always hard to watch good blokes let go, but when you look at the way Foley has developed this season was it a disaster in terms of our future? I don't think so and I reckon the best outcome was achieved by both David and Richmond.

who did hilton go to, i think he retired buddy

zantuck imo could of been an alright player, played a few games were i though gee this boy can play,

but could never pull hes finger out of hes ass and get focused

hilton was stiff in my opinion he was a kayne pettifer type of player,
except 10 times harder at the footy,
threw himself into everything and was just unlucky to keep getting injured...

injuries aside he would of been a good player for the tiges

i think we should of gave both roach and limbach another year,

and i do agree with the Rodan thing, but i also believe that if we knew coughlan was gonna be out for the year we would of never let rodan go

 

[lids2004roar]

i think we should of gave both roach and limbach another year,

The sooner we delist players we do not believe can take us to a flag then the better shape our list will be long term.

Give them another year and Daniel Jackson might have been delisted. I'd prefer Jacko to Roach!!

 

[kainokaino]

roach got 11 games for the club, very unlucky to be delisted after that...

he was stiff with injury looked alright first time around against the weagles last year

then broke hes cheekbone near the end of the second quarter

but something i thought i should say...

THOMAS ROACH 11 GAMES / Averaged 7.5 disposals
career high of 15 against geelong in 2004.

DANNY MEYER 17 GAMES / Average is 7.9 disposals
career high of 18 against geelong in 2006


we gave roach (a son of a gun) 3 years to prove himself and then got rid of him

this is danny meyers 3rd year, a man who looks like he dosnt even wanna be out there most the time ... so should he be delisted/traded at the end of the year
DEFINETLY.
but knowing richmond we wont on the soul fact that he was a high draft pick

That's pretty simplistic...

7 of Roach's possies are less valuable than 7 of Meyer's. Meyer actually has potential to be a star, Roach was very average with limited potential.

I guess disposal numbers are the soul reason we delist players
