virtually unsighted he is weeks away from the seniors in my humble opinion
Disappointing.
On paper it looked a good team or maybe we just overrate our depth. Practice match or not these players are competing for a spot in next weeks side in the seniors.

knigha was one of the few tigers who kicked well was able to find space either to receive a handball or on a lead once he gets full fitness up he should slot strait into the seniors his poise skill and ability to kick goals is well needed,, arnott was hard and tough got a few clerances also took players on and tried to run nd bounce and create like knighta i think he is A FEW weeks away but i think he could be a regular as well,, he seems to have all the tools to make it as a senior just needs a good run with injuries and snag a few games on the run,,, jacko was ok stuggled a bit as was his first hit out ,, but what he did was good like arnott very hard at it wouild love to see kingy jacko and bicky all in the same team
Wacky Tiger

Just gotta say: why can't that jumper be our AFL clash strip?
Do Coburg still exist?
They must've liked that, tip em for the flag now we aren't holding them back?
Or did we get on the bus at half time?
Read above that. Several Snr players only played a half, is that because it's a BS praccie, or are nursing injuries?
How about the ' Scray lot? Anyone notice if theirs played out whole game?

I wasn't there, but based on reports nearly all our guys played out the full game. We had a fairly strong side in, Jones for instance always seems to make a big difference in the VFL games he plays.

Pretty terrible condition with a gale headed towards one end making for a very scrappy game.
Richmond to me don't look any better than Coburg did but I guess the whole point is to play our guys where we want to. As guruisatiger already mentioned skills particularly by the VFL listed players were awful.
Darrou - held his own all day
Batchelor - was given the run around by Jones but once again was asked to play key position. Not his role.
Miles - tough in the clinches but I thought was beaten by Hrovat
Elton - dropped pretty much every mark he went for even though he got first hands at every contest. Had a tough opponent in Talia. His kicking was pretty bad
Lennon - played half back, had a plenty of the ball but his kicking was terrible
Banfield - did nothing
Arnot - our best player imo giving plenty in the stoppages and on the spread
McIntosh - hardly touched it on the wing
Knights - got plenty of it, looked OK. Best 3 with Arnot and Gordon.
Lloyd - only played the 2nd half and barely saw it
Jackson - was OK, played on the ball for 3 quarters.
Stephenson - gave us a contest in the ruck, around the ground had you tearing your hair out at times
McBean - apart from an early goal didn't touch it
Gordon - looked pretty good. played half back/wing in the first half and then deep forward in the 2nd half. Kicking needs work but we all knew that
Williams - looked lost and don't see him going beyond this year
Foley - was very quiet
Luke Conca - is very short
Edwards, King, Helbig and Grimes didn't play
It was very cold

Ah yes, the recruit gun junior forwards then play them as half backs method continues.
Because we have an abundance of smart classy forwards and not enough HBF'ers..........

It's really starting to get on my nerves. I love Dimma but this crazy idea just keeps happening. I just don't get it. Soon Jack will be playing off half back.Ah yes, the recruit gun junior forwards then play them as half backs method continues.

They do it to teach the importance if a defensive game... which what all forward players need.

Agree. Maybe it was just the conditions? Will be good to see how he goes next week- hopefully gets a full game in the VFL. Would also like to see him play his position. Half forward rolling through the middle. We have enough half backs.Thought Lennon had sublime foot skills
I don't get why people get so upset about kids playing in different spots to where they played as a junior (I do get it with Dusty and Jack though). Its all about learning and 5 years from now. Some of the best CHB's of the last 15 years were KPF, Lake, Lepper, Ried, Chad Cornes and McPharlin. Plus to mention all the forwards and mids who have gone to HBF to dominate, McLeod, Johncock, Davis, Murphy, Deledio, Bowden, Enright, Houli, Burgoyne, Mitchell, Hodge, Shaw, Kennelly, Malceski, Goddard ect...
Plus a few guys like Jake King and Gia who have gone from defenders to be good forwards.
Hardwick has been big about foot skills especially off HBF, McDonough and Lennon are two of our best kicks already and they allow/will allow Deledio, Ellis, Houli (although i am against him moving up the field) and Vlastuin to play more up the ground.
Could play them as a defensive forward. Having said that I like Lennon off half-back.
Probably conditions and also the fact he has been out with a knee injury for a month.
