Which Tiger from the 90s-00s would you slot into todays line up if you could? (No Richo!)

[Crumpet_avenger]

As if nobody has mentioned the duck.
Daffy was a gun. Never seen a player get their boot to ball as fast as him and his ability to kick a goal from nowhere was brilliant.
Easily have him in our side

 

[DeLaCon]

Michael Mitchell played from the late 80s to early 90s. He was a magnificent footballer. He would have been a dead set starting 18 player in our current team and a dead set superstar. Would get games in front of rioli, castagna and bolton easy.

 

[AuntyBlindEye]

Reckon Brad Ottens in a good side would have done some real damage. A bit like your Gale call hes a better ruckman than weve had.

Bloody loved Otters. Would have won in 18 had we had him in the side

Only If he was a lot younger than 38 in 2018...Btw he turns 40 next month hard to believe isn't it?.

 

[AuntyBlindEye]

Daffy, Gaspar, Knights, Ottens, J Bowden, Broderick, Turner, Johnson and Richo, go * yourself.

Biddiscombe, Sziller, Chaffey, for a bit of VFL depth.

Cousins would be good. WC Cousins but that's cheating.

Haha well yeah. Wow didn't realise he was 39.

 

[SanRichmond]

Tony Free for sure, great at clearances and bombing it forward in chaos fashion, which would really suit us now.

 

[canadamatt]

Should Craig Lambert get a mention? Or am I too excited about being on holidays?

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Wayne Campbell was a brownlow favourite 1 year wasn't he... bench option?

 

[captain cotch 9]

Gaspar
Imagine our backline...
Grimes Rance Vlaustin
Houli Gaspar Short

Would you slot him in if you could?

 

[dustysnecktattoo]

Jeff Hogg?

 

[tigerdan]

The game has changed a lot. The list of players we loved in the 90s is not the same as the list of players who'd slot into our side now.

I reckon Mark merenda would have been pretty good in our current team.

Shutdown Turner could possibly take Astburys spot.

Greg Stafford might have got a game in the ruck. Otters was a better player but Stafford knew how to hurt the opposition physically.

Joel Bowden would have dominated, he'd play the same role as Vlastuin.

A lot of my favourites would miss out unfortunately.

 

[tigerdan]

Wayne Campbell was a brownlow favourite 1 year wasn't he... bench option?

Too many dinky up and under kicks from cambo. I don't think that would be tolerated in today's game plan. I mean the guys got 4 bnfs so it's not like he was a dud but maybe he'd find a different position to play.

 

[Neen]

Lambert was a very handy player - def worthy of being in the discussion

We had a decent midfield with Knights, Lambert and Nichols around the same time as Campbell. Although I rate Knights as easily our best from this period, Lambert's ability to extract the ball and hit a target by hand was a stand out. We all love the way Sheds finds ways to hanball to player's advantage, but Lambert was as good or better. I was surprised no one mentioned him. He would slot straight into our current side at the expense of possibly Graham, who has a similar inside role. Lambert's downside was that he was not the best of kicks, but he didn't need to be.

 

[Coach_Required]

None of them, all were failures. There's no way those selfish players would take on our team focus mantra that Dimma & Cotchin have installed.













Matty Knights, Wayne Campbell & Nathan Brown would be my 3

 

[6ixesAND7evens]

I was always a fan of Jamie Tape and how he went about his footy, he’d go alright.

Matty Knights would probably take the cake for me to fit in and tear games apart.

Tape's tackle on Calthorpe in that '95 Final will always be a highlight for me! Very good player.
Him and Rogers, two quality SA boys that made an immediate impact for us!

“Stand up son....and he did” one of my favourite moments.

Absolutely agree. Was going to mention MM but saw your post. He was an absolute jet ... small, but geez, imagine the highlight reel if he was playing in our current team ... anyone remember that goal against Syd at the SCG when he basically ran from half back to about 3pm out evading players, before slotting the goal? Think he had a fair collection of hangers as well iirc. Also, iirc, isnt he the bloke that took a mark in the wafl (no footage) that whoever saw it says it was the best of all time?

That mark that he took in the WAFL was shown on the Front Bar this season!

 

[captain cotch 9]

My favourite player as a kid was Daffy.
No doubt he could slot into a forward pocket/HFF
Gaspar would be the best fit though imo with Campbell or Chaffy taking some pressure off Cotchin

talent wise Nathan Brown 05 would be elite

 

[juss]

Greg Stafford would be a pretty mean number 1 ruck. N Brown pre leg break would be magic on the HFF delivering to the tall forwards.

Reckon J Bowden would be a hell of an upgrade as the rebounding Jayden Short role, and I would comfortably plug Deledio in on one of the wings and as a versatile utility.

 

[two blue tiger]

Nathan Brown would kick at least 50 goals and could run through midfield too. Would make our forward line scary good.....
