Kane McAuliffe

[Redford]

Yep, played a hell of a game in Geelong and ran out of gas but that’s fine.

Play him next to Taranto, first receiver. Less crash and bash.

But play the freaking kid.

Absolutely.

 

[toothless]

I'm hoping the club has been holding him back until Taranto & Hopper return to "protect" him, not that I think he needs it. Either way, I hope he plays the game out. Its a shame we haven't seen him play many full games prior to see if it would make any difference.

Kid’s a footballer. If anyone is going to lead the charge as we belatedly transition from the Hardwick-era “hack and hope” game plan, it’s him

I suspect the thinking is that he gets the minutes that Dow got in the midfield incl plenty of CBD

Yep - surely a “management” thing and hopefully he’ll take this game as a further managed step
He’s gonna be one to watch closely on Sunday and I’m looking forward to seeing him play four quarters

 

[crackertiger]

Hopefully he is not the sub again.

 

[davidc0055]

For someone who played substantial minutes in the centre, a return of just two kicks and seven handballs was disappointing

 

[UKTiger]

Well down on what one would expect but when our whole midfield including the highly experienced ones were nearly invisible, it is no surprise

 

[Tigers2011]

Has the ability. Needs to get AFL fit. Nevertheless plays every game for the rest of the year.

He's played what 5 games, all as sub? And he's come up against Cripps, Walsh, Cerra. Not sure what you were expecting

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Bog average today. Not enough.

 

[Coburgtiger]

Thought he was big, strong and classy.

Just not involved enough. Did he play limited minutes?

 

[Webbie26]

Keep playing full games it won't get any harder for him than that midfield the blues have

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Seemed matched up on cripps a fair bit

Are we tanking?

 

[Mr Brightside]

Least of our worries, will no doubt be able to take plenty out of todays game , probably wear out the VHS tapes of the game during the week

 

[Smoking Aces]

Played on Cripps in the 2nd quarter and kept him to a couple of touches.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

All part of the learning process for Kane today. Playing against Cripps and Walsh shows him where he could get to in his career.

 

[craig]

Kid got an education today that will hold him in good stead.

 

[tigerlove]

Played on Cripps in the 2nd quarter and kept him to a couple of touches.

Yep was brilliant that quarter. Great education. Played around 3/4s. Has had very little game time in last few weeks.

 

[Rantnrave]

Did nuthin...BUT dusty graham and bolton were just as crap..all three need to be traded out or retired or delisted..whatever it takes...
