For the first time ever we haven't been linked to him, Collingwood have though.

So you're saying Tim is shit?

He?s a poor to average ruckman and a good to excellent footballer.

Re: Delistings and retirements 2024

Delisted Free Agency starts November 1.

Collingwood look like they will pick up Membrey

Surely we need to delist Keath before then

Nah, I reckon his body has had it with rigors of AFL. I doubt Pies will pickup Tomlinson if he has injury concerns.
Fact Melbourne delisted Tomlinson and Schache shows that they are not up to it according to their list depth.

Re: Delistings and retirements 2024

Lol I'll stop being overly critical of English the day his unrepentant boosters acknowledge he's not the player we need or even the player they think he is.

Until we can actually discuss his flaws rationally without people blindly defending him then we won't have any worthwhile discussions about him.

Plenty of people discuss his flaws rationally. There's also lots of worthwhile discussion about him.

Calling a player who puts himself out there in the modern game week in, and week out Timid is a bit shit though. Maybe relative to the competition he might be at times, but it's disrespectful anyway.

Tim had a wildly interrupted preseason with no physical contact after an All Australian year. Subsequently he didn't perform week to week as we would like, and gave us the same worries about his ability to contest in a final. To call him Timid after spending a preseason out of action due to his head being banged up but fronting up anyway is actually pretty ****ed.

Show me on the doll where I ever call him timid.

How ****ing precious are we all getting about this?

As I pointed out it's all ok for bornadog to rubbish and degrade anyone he ****ing wants to, but he's the one who calls out another poster for a play on words... **** me dead!

We all understand it takes a shitload of courage to play the game, and probably even more so to play in the ruck when you are playing in the most physically challenging position on the ground where you are asked to jump into the oppositions biggest player over and over again, I for one couldn't think of a worse thing to be in my job description, but I'm not getting paid $750k+ per year either.

As everyone has seen he has consistently put forward meek and feeble efforts in big games, and many of the posters/ supporters are stick to death of it and have even made fun of the situation with the ''Timid'' call... which I've used much to my little brain's amusement.

Let's hope we can put it to bed in 2025 when Tim plays a more complete and rounded game which should hopefully result in everyone being kinder to him.

This is all leading to a loser leaves town match with Crossley in the pre-season I can feel it.

Anyone I want? BULLSHIT.

I have never degraded any Doggies players, but admit I have called out some people in the media.

I asked nicely about calling our players derogatory names - I never had a personal go at anyone.

End of topic as far as I am concerned.

Can it end with a cage match at the Yarraville nets?

Maybe on the BAD Mantis undercard?
