Rhyan Mansell welcome to Tigerland

I like this kid, quick and has a bit of *smile* about him , good modern day small back, his addition should help Bakes continue to find more of the ball up the ground

Dunno but $hai seemed *smile* pissed off on the wireless.

I got the distinct impression Kosi Pickett has been reading the back page of the paper a fair bit.

Thanks mate :) I'm well aware my rambles will get quickly seized upon and will cop a lot of flak, so am considering messaging once a year in the hope I'm thought of as a new contributor ;)

Where I've come from as quickly as I can, Tiger fan because of Royce, KB, St Francis and the 70's era. Then endured the 37 year pain, and not for myself but I wanted young fans to experience what I knew as a kid, the power of the Tiger when we're a top club and winning flags for fun, thankfully it's returned for a bit :))

Sports nut, mainly AFL, cricket, NFL, NBA, F1 nowadays, other sports more just a general interest now, it's hard watching 9 AFL games weekly, NBA daily or NFL all Monday & Tuesday when it's their season lol.

Big movie and TV series fan, son is about to start a Uni course in film, wants to be a movie director so wish us luck aye :) Luv my sports stats, was nicknamed many years ago the 'Ristannica' in honour of the Britannica Encyclopaedia.

Umm, Melbourne born and bred but worked and lived in Orange NSW, New Farm Brisbane, Port Campbell/Peterborough Western Vic, then back to Keilor Downs full of Clowns :p Not very quick so I'll see myself out!! :flush

Lived in New Farm for 9 years in the 90s. One of the best suburbs in Australia.

I thought alongside Baker he was our best defender and in the top 5 players for us tonight.
I like the way he plays

Loved his game and his aggression. Really grown in a short space of time.

Think Dimma would have been struggling to hold back a smile when he squared up to Pickett.

How good was that 1v1 contest down back?

He bled, pestered, and was super reliable in the contest all night. Dimma won’t drop a player who plays like that.

Dunno what was happening, Pickett and Mansell were fired right up. And Shai was pissed off. I loved it. Hated how the ump plucked frees out against us when it was both sides doing the same thing, but that is to be expected. It was a bit comical actually, it was as if the umps were just waiting for us to do what the Melbourne player did, which we did, whistle!!!

Always the player who retaliates who gives away the free. A story as old as time itself.

True. But also always the player playing for the team with the foot on their throat and deep in the backline. It extra comical those last couple of frees to Pickett and Oliver, two players going at it, frees to them in front of goal both times.

He has some real mongrel about him. And on the footy side if things he had Pickett well and truly beaten.

Yep. Pickett had zero influence. Was good and more game time will hopefully give him that composure which is lacking a little atm but expected from a young player

I agree.

he beat Pickett.

snake factor is off the dial

It is. But so was Picketts. Mansell beat Pickett, or kept him contained, which is outstanding for him, but doesn't reflect well on us as a side when their hottest forward is subdued and they still beat us in a canter. Pickett still had a solid game though, just not the creative livewire he has been.

Mansell could have got a free when Pickett kept running at him on the mark after kicking the goal, but Oliver ended up getting one. It was a bit of a throwback barney.

I like him but don’t like the cheap shot agro I’ve been seeing glimpses of. Yes Pickett copped him with a cheap shot and he retaliated in a manner I don’t think deserved a free kick, but he was ready to start a blue at 1/4 time and saw him at it last week - seems a bit undisciplined. My main concern is that it draws focus away from the real contest and free kicks in defence are very costly.

I’ve never lived in Brisbane but have spent quite a bit of time there for work. It strikes me as an extremely uninteresting place; quite bland. But I guess my experience has been quite limited.

Interesting to hear the perspective of someone who’s lived there.

I think we were generally flat, and Dees were good.

but Balta and Lynch coincided real shockers. (along with an entirely in tact midget piñata full of lollies at the final siren)

and I reckon when your bookends coincide shockers, and your superstar has a *smile* foot,

your rarely gonna acquit yourself well
