Tim Membrey lot to like???
This young man appears to have a very level head on his shoulders and quizzed the club about its future and leadership before making the move south.
I am sure all new players that arrive at new clubs will be always saying the right things in the early days, but have a real good feeling that this young man could actually be an inspired pick up for the saints???

Looks like they squared him up against his opposition for a forward flank position at training yesterday in Markworth & Minchington and it looks like he accounted himself well in the marking duels.

That or he lets ex convicts draw on him with a tattoo gun. Seriously though I like Memberey and I think he should go okay. A mate who saw him growing up in Gippsland said he was a killer player as a kid and was saying we got an incredible freebie with him.Con Gorozidis wrote:magnifisaint wrote:Certainly not the tatts

Re: Tim Membrey lot to like???
The question mark was and still is about his height. I am pretty confident he will make it. Whether he becomes an excellent player will probably have more to do with the other talls around him in our forward line as opposed to his own ability. I'm definitely confident that his recruitment has improved our list and he could turn out to be a gemgringo wrote:That or he lets ex convicts draw on him with a tattoo gun.

Re: Tim Membrey lot to like???
Surely he'd want to go well against those two? Minch is a small and Markworth has never looked to have much brute strength. I'd rather see Membrey against Fisher or Delaney to prove his credentials.WinnersOnly wrote:Looks like they squared him up against his opposition for a forward flank position at training yesterday in Markworth & Minchington and it looks like he accounted himself well in the marking duels.

Re: Tim Membrey lot to like???
Let's not forget he's spent two years in a crappy competition, the NEAFL. I used to watch the odd game when I was working in Canberra and I have to say playing at that standard for any length of time would be detrimental to your development as an AFL player. While acknowledging he would have been well served by his time training with the swines, there is no substitute for actually playing the game. Having said all that, he'll definitely benefit from the move, even if he ends up spending a fair bit of time in the VFL.saintspremiers wrote:Member has several years experience training with the Swines and has played footy at AFL level.

Is the VFL a better standard than the NEAFL?
If so, that would help him and Sandy!

Neafl is between A and B grade ammos so slightly better than VFL seconds.

Re: Tim Membrey lot to like???
Yeah, the tatts are lame. A sign of a vain footballer. But I'll look past that particular flaw of his.

Every Saturday, the player who wears the number that is drawn first will have to get a new tat.
That's where the name Tattslotto came from.
It's no coincidence our players are numbered 1 to 45.

He's from Traralgon and a devotee of the visual arts. There is nothing to dislike about this guy. Will be a fan favourite.

Re: Tim Membrey lot to like???
But what about his speech patterns? I have heard him interviewed and he says things like: 'me game' not, 'my game'. IMHO both the look of and, the sound from him don't thrill me too much............. just hope he can play better than he looks and speaksSainternist wrote:Yeah, the tatts are lame.

Now if the Saints didn't play so many matches in that closed roof stadium, maybe , just maybe I might be spared the sight of his 'Gaugin Tatts' somewhat .............. he might wear long sleeves on a wet day, so that would be one problem solved for me.
In all seriousness, he's a Sainter now, so good luck to the lad, hope he has a long and successful career at the Saints.
