Pay particular attention to Lennon - plenty on here will want to know whether he'll become the Champion they've hoped for or whether he'll be delisted at the end of the season

Thanks Guru

Great effort again Guru.

CEllis and Lennon need to be playing in the midfield and told to absolutely dominate.

Lennon wont make it in any other position as his speed is exposed and he cannot great separation and Corey is an inside mid first and foremost.

Lennons not a mid though. He's a forward. That's about all he can do

 

[Calcium Man]

He played 2nd half of TAC cup year as a mid and averaged over 20 disposals and I've seen him do it at VFL level

How'd he go at VFL level as a mid? Dominate at all? I don't think he'll make it as a mid. Not at this club or at this level

 

[Rubber Hips]

I will be there to do report and answer any questions.

Thanks Guru...I'm keen to know how the following players go;
Darryl
Cellis
Stengle
Lloyd & Lennon

He was good... only played there for about 2 weeks. His hands around packs are so clean and he makes great decisions with his handballing that I see it as his best option.

 

[docko911]

That is a strong team.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Like to see some of the 2nd and 3rd year players start to press for senior spots.
C Ellis, Drummond, Soldo, Oleg, Chol and Moore.

I hate looking at our named vfl teams each week. It just brings home the lack of quality coming thru and how shallow the list really is especially in talls and genuine mids.

 

[matt_y106]

Is this game broadcast on abc/7?

 

[no.11]

They need to fix the VFL fixture, round 1 should start the same time as afl rather than all these practice matches. Bolton serving a 1 match suspension for something he did 3 or 4 weeks ago is a bit of a joke.

Yeah that's why we win by nearly 6 goals most weeks.

 

[guruisatiger]

Great effort again Guru.

Just taking advantage of a rare non work day on Sunday. Really love watching the 2s such a relaxing atmosphere get to sit in JACKS STAND. Can have a kick on the ground get up close to the players and coaches it's like going back to the 70's again. Recommend all tiger supporter and members come down. Also the MUSEUM is fantastica real walk down memory lane.
Go Tigers
