yep wasn't fair really. Enormous ask but no choice I guess unless we moved someone like Miller forward.
Despite that he was good and competed incredibly well.

Mykelti Lefau

I reckon he will fit in well with Lynch and Balta in the forward line. Will get the third defender and can play as a lead up player which is his strength
Le Chook is an awesome find and looks well up for the challenges being presented to him.
Opposition sides have been licking their lips at the opportunity to inflict revenge on the Tigers but Mykelti takes no prisoners. We need more like him to assist Nank and Pickett in this regard.
Sure we are down on fit troops and skill exhibition at the moment but the Tiger spirit is still there alive and well.
Better days lay ahead.

I absolutely love his aggression & appetite for the contest.
The key ingredients for any tall forward.
Myke gets a big tick again.

Agree, having to play above his ability right now as the key forward target. He's the perfect 3rd tall IMO. Gets up the ground, tackles, and has a big booming boot, how good was that weighted kick over the top for Dusty's goal. Dusty was manned up by May, May was in front, leave the kick a bit short and May marks it, put it on Dusty's head and May either marks or spoils it, kick it over May's head so Dusty can mark the ball behind him. Perfect weighting of the kick. He's also strong and kicks goals.
I like him, but he's in a bit of a no win situation at the moment, was double and tripled teamed at times last night and probably will be again against Freo.
This time though will be gold for him though, he will learn so much about how defenders man you up, that when he's playing as the 3rd banana and gets a weaker defender, he should be well schooled in being able to beat him.
As a 5 gamer who is asked to to be the main forward is an impossible task.
But he is not shying away from it. Covering a *smile* load of ground.
Tracking along beautifully!
Just needs support.

Wow, wow, wow.
Folks aren’t quite realising what we are seeing here.
Isn’t his sport.
First couple of games just ran around wondering what the *smile* is going on.
Players get injured around him, so we play him as a key.
After three games of non-childhood AFL footy.
And then last night. Covers more ground than anyone. Including an oppo renowned for gut-running.
Leads up to the ball like he will one day present like Carey. Just needs to learn. I’m not joking. Same height, similar build to Carey.
They play similar styles. Will he be as good as Carey?
Who the *smile* knows. Ridiculous comparison. Of course.
But. Five games.

To quote Lance Armstrong (albeit in a different context), “I’m sorry you don’t believe in miracles, man.”
Bigger, likely better version of Towner in our forward line. Always welcome.
If he could take a pack mark, he'd be the best forward in the AFL.
He was noticeable at the ground as being the only Richmond forward likely to score, or even bring the ball to ground.
Starting to lead with intent now too.
I will be very happy with a half Forward line of Balta Lefau Gibcus next year.
