Training Pre Season ‘25

[tiger_tough]

Is he going the multigrain or wholemeal?

 

[SMILLIE]

Cant believe I watched any of that, but FOS’ kicking in the game of P.I.G. / horse was dreadful , Lalor dominated

 

[Charlie Pannam]

His first AFL possession was a ripper. Terrible for him that he went straight off with injury.

He’s going to have a highlight reel, no doubt.

Has taken a while to get a new favourite since Stacky left but I think Jacob is the one.

It’s a bit of the unknown with Bauer, he’s missed so much football, never had a decent run it due to injury and some personal stuff. I’m hoping he has a decent tank, and can fit into that 3rd tall role back or forward.
Pace is good, foot skills are decent ( thumping kick) and his vertical leap is insane.

then was like 'now it's my game next' as if he isnt a professional footballer and proceeds to get slammed at basketball by the camera man.

should fit right in at norf.

FOS is an overrated kick because he has a nice looking kicking action and people fall for it. We've known those types before. When you look where the kick actually ends up he misses quite a few targets

 

[Barnzy]

Lalor and FOS are meant to be together.

It worked out for the best. Smillie will be a better player than FOS and we didn't have to trade up

I like those green spinachy ones

Gross.

 

[Cactus_]

Early days but pretty happy with the Lalor pick after watching that

 

[THE_GUN]

Don't mention Stacky's name...
It's taken me a while to get over his departure...
What could have been...

Stack , Cumberland , Peterson , Taylor , McKenzie

What a foward line

It’s that vertical leap that is really his POD compared to pretty much everyone on our list at the moment

Without knowing a huge amount about our draftees none of our players are really aerial threats

 

[THE THIN MAN]

might get an undercut

Are you going to model it on Liberace hair style?

I didn't make it past the first 3 kicks that went nowhere near the goals (or points for that matter)

Tigertastic video on the RFC site on all our boys.
Lalor ,a St.Pats kid.

I know a great Tiger mate who will be proud of that.

Agreed, it’s definitely his strength, and he’s fearless in the air, to go with that leap.
Morris was working on other areas of his game, particularly his run/carry and decision making out of the back half. He mentioned it in a couple of his VFL match reports that Bauer was working on becoming a more rounded player.

From this years draft crop, Sims has a big vertical leap, and liked how Armstrong was launching at the ball in that Metro v Country game at Marvel

Playing Kosi in defence is logical. If he’s our forward target we are not winning flags. But no reason he can’t develop into an Astbury / Lonergan / Payne type lockdown KPD. It’s his best chance of forging a long career. It also gives up great insurance if Gibcus doesn’t come up and Miller/Young don’t prove long-term options.

It means our next flag team KPD has loads of options : Balta, Gibcus, Trainor, Blight, Kosi, Miller, Young… we can afford three to be complete busts through injury or ability and we are still well served.

Then same argument up forward. Fawcett, Armstrong, Bauer, Gray, Faull, Sims, Lefau. Can afford 4 x complete busts and we are still well served.

With two top six picks next year, the way we’ve balanced our list is outstanding, where we can cherry pick our exact needs next draft.

Agreed I think Kosi could make it as a back man. He’s big, athletic, hits packs the fact he has saucepans for hands means his not reliant on his marking.
I’d have Kosi as a key back ahead of Miller and Young

A spoiling defender role would suit his 1 handed marking attempts

 

[Profop]

If even one of the tall kids look half decent I can’t see Kosi getting another contract

He was diabolical last year

Nothing to lose.
Also Young and Gibcus coming off ACL’s.

 

[SunshineBoy]

The club promised regular injury updates when Serpell came on board. We've not had a single one since he was appointed. Very disappointing.

Still cleaning out the butchering implements

You’re thinking of Ryan kosi if nothing else goes hard for his marks just rarely clinks them.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Wonder if the new recruits have been introduced to our 2025 secret weapon yet?

One thing I will give Kosi he hits packs hard
