You're probably right, Waiting ... but, geez, Knights just has to be picked next week.
Long kicking could've helped counter the flooding. Dumb move to leave him out of the side. Petterd and Lambert instead :clap
I assumed VFL were playing today and that is why Knights was left out to get another game under his belt. Now I find he didn't get to play a game which I find bewildering. Surely you'd select Knights ahead of Petterd and one or two others? I'd love an explanation from the club. Is he injured?
The selection committee are in love with Petterd. Only reason he gets a game ahead of Knights. It's not like we need a classy, smooth moving forward who can also go into the middle, especially if Shane Edwards is out.tigerlove said:
But we've got Ricky Petterd. We picked him up as a rookie because Melbourne didn't want him. We used a free agency pick on Knights. Why would we want to pick him when that's the alternative?MB78 said:
Another good game under the belt for Chris.
BOG yesterday with 29 touches 8 clearances and a goal to go with his BOG last week.
Class player above VFL level which cant be said for plenty of others.
Knights might lack a yard in defensive footy but unlike most others in the side at the moment he just doesnt hardly waste the footy thats because he has poise and doesnt panic.
Knights also doesnt shrink when in front of the big sticks he takes it on and is one of the most accurate players on the list in front of goal, thus he converts much more often than others have been.
That alone is reason enough to be back at senior level the Tigers need players who can convert posession into score board pressure and who dont panic and can create goal assists. Also he does win the footy through the middle and makes up for his lack of raw speed with his ability to read the footy and run angles to get to the right spots this was evident last week against Essendrugs.
For mine Edwards Knights Lids and Astbury all need to be back in the Tigers senior side.
Theres at least 8 you can pick from for them to replace without issue.

Good news craig, but I bet they'll find a reason not to play him. Newman and Petterd on the other hand will both play no questions asked.

Exactly. How the coaches don't see this is beyond me, although maybe he's just warming up in the 2nds and is now a definite IN every week from R3.......we hope.
Current form indicates Chris should be in the 1sts for round 3. We know it but we also know that the selection committee doesn't work that way and still work on the old pals method of selection.
Exactly right. The changes you have given are the barest minimum. Trouble is our conservative selection committee don't see it that waycraig said:
