Harry not playing is no surprise, just a little too top heavy. He'll get his chance as the kid needs continuity of games, as mentioned by our coaching staff. 4 new faces to don the navy blue - Dow, Garlett, Mullett and Kennedy.
I'm not expecting/hoping for anything more tomorrow night than a fair-dinkum dip... and I reckon that's what we'll see. It'll take time now for all the newbies to meld, so probably a very up and down season... but I reckon the ups (glimpses into our future) will be exciting and moments of full-on quick, transitional footy.
Mrs Baggers and I have our memberships, and now being 'long distance' / country members will only be able to make it to a few games - very impressed with the package for those of us who live 150k plus from Melb.
Yep, Tigers are on the small side so Harry is probably one too many talls, I want him played but I am also a big fan of picking the team based on the opposition and getting all the matchups right....Mullett probably got the nod ahead of OShea because he is a better fit for the Tiger small forwards.
I expect to be competitive and come close to winning especially with Houli, Prestia as likely outs... if we get knocked over by 4 goals plus then its probably going to be a long year...I'm hoping too the Tigers are in a premiership hangover still, might start real slow and we can jump them and hang on..
