Needs to back it up in the next 14. BTW how is he at marking zones?

Crap, all he does is kick through them or over them or find space in them or behind them. Horrible at keeping the ball inside 50 too. He keeps kicking goals and the umps keep carrying the ball back to the middle!

Well there's your answer

Maybe we know Vickery's going so we're playing him to keep his value up? :help

At the cost of a potentially a better option and replacement, walking at the end of the season.

If so, then we have even more serious list and player management issues.

Or Beanie knows what's going on? I dunno, it's a mystery.

Or the great baked bean is the Tiges' version of Courtney Johns.

Not the same at all.

Early on, Johns had injury issues. Once they were overcome, he never delivered at any level, including
some 20 or 30 games at AFL level. The Bummers tried, evaluated and decided after that.
 
I don't know- I'm no bean expert. I've only ever seen him play in the seniors.

A question though- why aren't all the beanites screaming for the Tiges to recruit Sam Grimley, Sam Dunell, Andrew Hooper, Jordan Lisle?..... Those boys all kick plenty of sausages in the vfl too.

Who cares about them? None were ever a Tiger.



They were never a Tiger. We

Off topic but I've said a few times you give Sam Grimley the games Ty does and I reckon he'd give you the same output.

Not according to those who have actually seen him this season.

I've seen him too. He's flat but it would be nigh impossible to read our Z grade mids.

Geez what does he have to do, Vickery just has to survive the game without clocking a bloke and he gets another four. Chaplin plays forward and does his best intimation of a guy running on the spot.

So many double standards at PRE, just play the *smile*ing kid!

Obviously not playing tomorrow and as the reserves have a bye I can't imagine he,ll be picked after not playing (when he can't get picked after actually playing).

So he,ll have to put at least 2 very good games together with the reserves. That's rd. 13 by then....at best!

I reckon somewhere along the line he,ll get another chance with the ones, come off the bench and play 40% GT and get dropped the following week. Papers stamped.
 
It seems to me those who haven't seen Liam play this year are basing their hopes on goal tallies. Reading the weekly reports that isn't an issue with the powers to be. Liam must know what aspects of his game he needs to work on.

BTW why do we need a boxing coach?

boxing is like ballet. a movement system that promotes phenomenal fitness and strength.

we should get a ballet teacher too. Griff would love it I reckon.

Yep, and he'll be working on it at another club next year. He's been crucified at the Tigers.
