Welcome Jacob Blight

Apparently Toce said he would build his game in the VFL which is disappointing as we need him in the Backline which means they can continue Yze grand plan of Balta up Forward.
 
It was meant to be, Blighty is a Tiger to the core. He played for the Tigers, at Albany, Pinjarra, Claremont and now the mighty Tiges.

Both boys represent flexibility. Toce was clear, they aren't short-term projects that can step in right away, they are long-term projects.

I wouldn't expect either boy to get a gig in the back half of the year, maybe Blight. It's interesting, the depth chart for KP down back at the start of 2025 looks different.

Tylar Young
Josh Gibcus
Ben Miller

What order they are in at this point next year is anyone's guess. I would hope that all of them are significantly improved by this time next year.

If they are all fit then Gibcus is the CHF, with Miller and Blight for the FB.
Tyler can fill the Grimes role

Correct, we essentially now have 2 extra players on the list, 2 above the max levels.
do we? I always get confused with list sizes. currently we have 46 players including 2 cat b rookies = 44. I thought your list size was 44. are cat b outside the list?

Max 42 players on your main / rookie lists plus upto 3 Cat B rookies.

We had a max list after adding Lefau in pre-season so its fairly logical to deduce that we are now over the max list size.

Home feel at Tigerland with all the other Wozzies we have in the club.

When was the last time a WA recruit was a bust? Smith looks a likely type also.
