I think the Bullants have a practice match against Box Hill this weekend, been a quiet few weeks for Zach so hopefully he gets a run with them.
I reckon that they are just letting him complete his 'apprenticeship' and gaining more knowledge of the game itself.
No need to rush him, especially with our depth in small and medium defenders.

Yes, you're not playing tonight but what the hell: Congratulations on being part of an elite squad Zach.
Plenty of time to fly the flag for the boys.

Was impressed watching him taking a heap of kick ins on Saturday. Looks good

bb25: I'm happy with the backs we have built up/recruited for this year, but do you see any fit for Tuohy in our main squad?
I've seen enough of him in the pre-season to hold out hope but can you see abilities that are missing in our current back 6?

Read that Tuohy played wing on the weekend. This could be the best spot for him down the track. Marking and competing in the air doesn't come naturally to Gaelic footballers. I can see Zac getting it on the wing and taking them on like Armfield by using his pace. Tuohy has a lovely kick and a good side step for such a big man.
Thanks TG.
Watching Tuohy in the pre-season showed me just how strong this kid is.
At times he reminded me of Judd the way he carried more than one opponent on his back whilst still making forward progress.
I'll take a chance to also say his kicking is better than Judds.
Now if only he could play like Judd, we'd have something pretty special.
Another very good performance by Tuohy for The Bullants on Saturday with 35 odd possessions and apparently most to very good effect.
May have only been second best to Saad who kicked 8 goals.
Unfortunately Tuohy would need several B.O.G.s for him to be considered for senior selection just yet.
I hope the lad is patient enough and given half a chance, he strikes me as the type of character who won't let go.

Bullants honor the blueprint

If Tuohy can improve his reading of the play, he could be an upgrade on Armfield who hasn't struggled to play as an attacking defender.
Tuohy's kicks are almost textbook.
Carlton’s international rookie Zach Tuohy, who gathered 35 possessions out of the back pocket.
Best Players: A. Saad, Z. Tuohy, A. Iacobucci, A. Collins, J. McCorkell

Actually putting it in perspective, you reckon he'd perform much better at the top level than K. Hunt.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's our next upgraded rookie. Probably fighting with Twomey, and then Armfield and Duigan in the main squad.

Tuohy needs to improve his defending and ability overhead, but he could possibly play Scooter's role once he retires.
Lovely long kick like Scotland, but quick.

Tuohy had a good pre-season and has skilled-up significantly already from last year.
Two good "ANTS" performances doesn't make a summer, but he certainly looks to have been adding tools to his armoury that may well have caught the attention of the people that count.
Long way to go for the young Irishman, but considering that quality disposal will be considered a prerequisite in the not too distant future, he may just be ahead of quite a pack for senior involvement.

I hope we leave Tuohy in the VFL for as long as possible.
God knows how our hardcore supporters will respond if we introduce a developing player and he doesn't smash it from day one.

I'm with you.
It's all good pumping your buddy up, but I wouldn't want a situation where we have to start calling on rookies to fix any ailments we may seem to have.
We've already used 26 players and expect Bower, Kreuzer and Houlihan to come straight back in.
That makes 29.
We then have every chance players McLean, Ellard, Davies, Joseph and even O'hAilpin may come to the the party.
That would make 34 and already would have us exceeding an amount that would hold you in good stead ready for finals action.
Touhy, Twomey, Casboult, Kerr, Austin etc. should only be considered under extreme circumstances, and only with so much form behind them to make it irresistible.
If he is playing well enough and we beieve he has something to add to the team, of course you play him.
The guy needs a reward also.
He needs to find the ball more and work abit harder overhead.
He has everything else.

Needs to play every VFL game to learn the intricacies of the game.
And work on his defending and spoiling.
Great switch inboard and goal assist to Twomey that the commentators called a fluke.

Tuohy has been elevated to our senior list.
Hard to imagine this kid try harder than he does, so let's just wish him all the best.
Good luck Zach, and who knows, we may just see you playing with the big boys sooner than later

Like Watson, a taste of senior footy wouldn't hurt Tuohy, but it may be too soon.
Zach didn't kill one ball when he really should have spoiled it out of bounds.
Led to a goal down the line after Thornton was outmarked.
Hope the elevation was also designed to give Tuohy some confidence and encouragement to keep up his good form in the VFL.

Clever thinking.
There was nothing to lose by elevating a rookie here and Zach got the nod ahead of some other worthy players.

Have to think Zach could be the best thing to come out of our back pocket since the salary cap thing. Go Zach!
