Another fine game from Axe on the weekend. Despite not getting high numbers word is he was given the task of nullifying Boak and would seem to have done that effectively.
His form this year has been really pleasing, just continues to fly under the radar and get the job done.

He's a bit like the Chad Fletcher/Nigel Lappin equivalent of our midfield, isn't he? Just gets forgotten about when the opposition focus on the Martin/Cotchin/Deledio mids, just like they did with Judd/Cousins/Kerr and Voss/Black/Akermanis
The question was asked recently on his contract but don't think he's signed yet for next year is he? Hopefully he stays a Tiger.
We've been cursed by long-term injuries to key players over the years. Some forgot what a menacing player Foley was before injury. Last year some wrote him off when he really needed time to find the pace of the game again. This year he's moved on from where he left off, he's been absolutley magnificent. Our a-grade midfield of Deledio, Foley, Cotchin and Martin is going to be one of the best if not the best going around. We can already see when opposition teams hard tag one of these players, one of the others steps up to the plate. This is the key to winning in the midfield.
His first half was phenomenal, and when they tightened up on him, the others stepped up. The club is developing a really powerful midfield, and it's reaping the benefits of having a quality ruckman in big Eeevan.
I missed the game and only watched a replay of the first quarter last night.
Foley looked sensational in that first quarter. He is an excellent compliment to our other midfielders, really adds some spark.

I hope this doesnt drag out. He is a vital part of our midfield. We cant afford to lose anyone now that we are starting to build a decent squad.Tigers of Old said:
