Itās a shame
What odds the Tiger players are allowed to promptly come to Perth, but Durham isnāt?
So for a guy like this, drafted from Victoria, how and when does he even link up with our team given this farked up situation at the moment with border closures and what not?
Dodoro always gets the best players, canāt believe heās done it again

Some older posts from the Tigers Big-Footy thread on the mid-season draft:
Durham doesnāt excite me at all. Looks like a VFL player.
would be happy with any of ā ā ā ā ā ā ā , freeman or callow. no guaranteed world beaters but decent potential/injury coverage. its the midseason draft and thatās all you can ask for
newcombe looks good too but apparently opted for a 4 year contract and pretty sure that means heād have something going on with the hawks cos heās a boxhill player, maybe will be sam mitchellās lil project when he takes over the hawks
also durham is my favourite vfl listed player for us but i donāt think heād be getting picked up but who knows, im selfish but if we donāt take him i hope no one else does because i enjoy watching him at vfl level
So far Iāve seen us linked (in the media) to
Shlesong
Durham
Stengle.Pies apparently keen on Stengle. Rated Cal Twomey as the most talented outside the AFL
Durham has been ok in the 2ās, rangey hb who has good pace.
Schlesong sounds a good fit particularly with Astbury struggling, ?? over Miller and Garth.
From the listed nominations (over 600) 2 of our VFL players Mcdonagh (rebounding hb ) and Nathan (tallish back) have nominated (along with Durham).
Get ready to be surprised I reckon weāll use this opportunity to add the best talent rather than necessarily replacing Soldo with another tall

I asked a Big Footy Richmond supporters who were angry at us drafting him to tell us (Big Footy EFC board) about him. Copied below:
fu** Essendon taking Durham.
Thought the same thing, reeks of Carlton to me
Hi tugga and Coach_Required , sorry to drag you over to our message board. But you both seemed upset that we drafted Durham, which makes me hope you know something about him? Weāre scrambling to find out anything about him, thereās some 2019 Draft Central profiles and the AFL mini-blurb on him. Information is pretty sparse.
Would you mind letting me know a bit about him, and why you wanted him? Any info would be appreciated.
TUGGA
Has improved out of sight.
footy hasnāt been his first choice of sport but now that he has committed fully, has really come on.
Not big, but is agile and can play mid or down back.
I think he is more a long term project but he has good skills and can find the footy.
Iām ā ā ā ā ā ā you guys got him.

Might profile as a wing long term. Does anybody know if he is getting a 6 or 18 month contract?
Rates highly

There are vfl mini matches (about 12mins) on the vfl app if anyone wants to see him in action. Havenāt watched so not sure how much he is involved in the highlights
Have we got any fit players in Melbourne for him to meet and have a kick with when he rocks up to the hanger for the first time? Gleeson perhaps?

I donāt get it
Why pass? Look at our injury list. Tigers are rapt with getting Parker. Would have loved him at Bomber land-
Hope its not a Pickett repeat
