Thought titch played his best game for the tiges last night. Looked as though Rawlings knows him a bit better than Wallace. He appeared to play the same type of game i have seen him play at coburg, where he has more of a free reign to take them on.

This kid will be a good player in the future i believe i still have faith. He ran very hard last night and his tackling and defensive pressure was up considerably on his efforts while under Wallace.

Well done
 
Played very well. 5 contested possessions, 6 tackles, 3 1%ers. Easily the best rounded game I've seen him play. Being small he needs players around him to protect him. Do that and you have yourself a very skillful and talented player. Disposal was much improved tonight which is where he has fallen down badly in the past.
 
i thought maybe the difference was he knows Rawlings has confidence in him because of playing at Coburg. He also played rotated through the middle and half forward, his proper position. i remember his debut and the comments after that game were very encouraging. He showed a bit skill and footwork to get out of some serious trouble. hopefully he keeps it up. Confidence is an amazing thing.

Battler

No MB4. Better than that. Played so well he received 105 Supercoach votes. He is quick...just what we need...and his disposal was every good.
 
Also looked much better when kicking longer rather than the little chip kick that used to dominate our game plan. Thought his disposal was the best I've seen last night and a lot of that probably comes with confidence.
 
Better disposal made him look a lot better than we have seen in his past games. Should stay in.

Hopefully he'll grow into a good ordinary battler rather than the usual dud battler running around for the Tiges.
The kids balanced and has the knack of creating a little bit of room for himself when he has the pill, needs to ensure he uses the ball properly most of the time instead of sometimes.

Think the whole side kicks better when we go forwards not sideways or backwards!!

Don't know about the future bit (a lot of water to run under the bridge), but agree about his game last night.

I think last night Eddie responded to the wake up call he faced at Coburg for the last several weeks, has a long way to go to really cement his spot in the side especially playing half back every week against better and stronger opposition.

One thing for sure looked more comfortable down back than what Foley did when he was assigned spells in the back line.

Horses for courses.

Reckon he's better than that.

Very good hands. Does need more size though to play in traffic.

Agree TOO. This kid needs to be perservered with. Has a football brain and knows how to use the footy. Unfortunately under Wallaces guidance or lack of he hasnt come on as we expected. However I expect a rapid improvement from him now that the used car salesman is no longer there.
