What are you looking forward to from the Tiges in 2023?

[Tigers of Old]

HNY all.

With the new year just around the corner, what are some things you're looking forward to from all things Tiges in 2023?

Me?

I'll start it off with hopeful natural improvement from Sonsie after a full presason. Looks the most likely of the kids who could make a big move next season.

I'm looking forward to a much stronger midfield that doesn't rely on Dion Prestia so much. The addition of Taranto and Hopper as well as hopefully a fit and firing Dusty is huge because it will relieve the pressure on the backline we had in 2022 but also provide so much more opportunity for a really dangerous forward line
Apart from that it is the young players who excite me. Gibcus, Moju, Cumberland, Sonsie as well potentially one or two of Clarke, Banks and Brown emerging.

Seeing if players like Miller, Ralphsmith, Ross, Rioli Jnr, Clarke, Cumberland can pressure some of the older guys and take some games off them.
If there's a lot of pressure for spots in the 22, I see a good season for us.
Honourable mention: Seeing our GWS Tigers integrate into the team.

Winning the close ones, and the improvement in the midfield should go a long way to doing that.

Smashing the living suitcase out of Geelong.

 

[The Mole]

1) Continued and rapid improvement of Maurice Jnr, Sonsie and Balta to the point other teams have to develop plans to stop them being influential
2) We become a team that dominates clearances and first possession
3) Continue to be the highest scoring team, and hopefully by some margin
4) Play scintillating, high-speed footy
5) One or two of the untried juniors make a big impact.
6) Top four finish and another flag to put the Brisbane/Hawthorn/Geelong dynasty discussion to bed.

2) We become a team that dominates clearances and first possession

IMO if that happens we will go very close to winning the flag

If you look at the stats in 2022 whenever that happened we dominated games and when we struggled it was because we were smashed around stoppages. If we dominate clearances and first possession I am not sure there is another team who can match us, it was our glaringly obvious 2022 weakness. So many other issues (like a leaky backline at times) were just a symptom of that.

Don’t think Nankervis / Miller will set up to dominate. Physically I don’t think they can TBH

We will set up to put some work into oppo clearance at a bare minimum. Break even so we can send the +1 down back is the plan.

 

[momentai]

Some really outstanding form from all players but with players like Broad, Graham, McIntosh and Soldo, doing especially well.
Hopefully each also seeing brighter long term futures elsewhere, with the prospect of 1 maybe 2 first round picks coming back.
And another flag.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Another one of ours entering the 300 club. Trent Cotchin will be the 6th ever Richmond player to do it, and the 3rd of the triple Premiership players joining Jack and Shedda.

 

[nafe brown]

Primership number 14

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Collingwood losing close games

 

[craig]

Just Flag number 4.



Riewoldt and possibly Cotch, Grimes and Tarrant go out in style.

Hopper and Taranto start at the RFC with ultimate success,

Tommy Lynch for the Coleman.

Shai Goal and mark of the Year.

A Happy and Healthy Dustin with Flag #4, Brownlow number 2, and Normie number 4 for our great number 4 to become the Goat of all Goats.



4 x Premiership Players - JR8, Cotchin, Grimes, Nankervis, Prestia, Rioli, Vlastuin, Broad, Martin.

3 x Premiership Players - Pickett,, Shai, Grover, Lynchy, Baker, Short, and possibly Graham.

2x Premiership Players - Balta, possibly Soldo.

1x Premiership Players - Taranto, Hopper, Tarrant, Moju, Cumberland, and possibly Rossy/or Gibcus or Miller or the Sonz.


Not asking for much really.


Oh and no injuries, and a VFL flag as well ...................................... just take every title on offer.

Then to top it off when we are being despised more than ever we pinch a Marquee key forward in Free Agency to really boil everyones pisss!!


DELICIOUS,

 

[UKTiger]

Looking forward to a strong midfield again which was a glaring weakness last season. The smart recruitment should do that and then we will be contenders again
