GAME DAY SEMI THREAD - Tiger vs Saints

[Scoop]

Thought we were patchy, scoreboard flattered us.

Thought we should have been another three goals up at half time.

Thought we got crucified by the umpires with interpretations.

Thought Port wouldn’t be too nervous after tonight.

Thought that going in as an under dog next week suits us.

Thought too much.

 

[fastin bulbous]

The arrow is going in the right direction but we are still not ‘on’. A few too many not performing as well as they should. I hope we sort it out!!

Impressive to get to prelim after being stuck in a hub most of the year. Not playing our best but given ourselves a crack at back to back and 3 in 4.

I never lost faith last year but after one win for four, and 3.5 shoddy performances, I wrote the year off. Straight after that we lost Prestia, Cotchin and Nank to injury and Edwards/Houli to family duties while shipping off interstate with reluctant players. And lost the best defender of the modern era in the pre-season.

Been a tough year for all the clubs but I keep reading that Richmond has had a lot of favours. It's *smile*.

 

[Jewell]

Got the early lead and controlled the game for three quarters. Solid performance if not pretty. Happy with that but need to improve to get the win next week. No change unless due to injury

Don't think I've ever seen a team that's won the last 2 out of 3 premierships so disrespected by media and opposition coaches. Ratten has pretty much blamed everything under the sun for losing this but struggled to mention that we are a good side. Yet Dimma comes out every week and praises the opposition win, lose or draw. Over it

 

[Berwick boy]

Ratten is all class. Dumb *smile* blues shafted him for Malthouse..worked well.

 

[bairdy380]

Wow, Ratten is a bloody smart coach and respectful.... great presser

 

[tigermike]

Dimma said he likes the way Pickett goes about it, plays hard and tough and the saints had some tough boys so Pickett did his job. Sounds like he'll be in the team v. Port.

Lynch needs to be hanged. Mumford is lovable clumsy rogue.

Good bloke Ratten, and has had a hard run of it.

I woudnt begrudge him having success with the Saints when the Tigers are done at the top.

 

[toothless]

Disgraceful commentators failed to recognise Chimp's record breaking captaincy games played. Pretty sure nothing was said about Dimma's games coached record at the club as well

Yep the Irony

Compare that to the coverage for Pendlebury doing the same a couple of weeks ago.

 

[caspar]

We are underdogs next week ....We are going to have it all against us next week.

We pull it off we win the flag.

Feels like qf in 2017. Fighting underdogs again.

This could be good.

Anyone worried about Cotchin's "tackle" that went way too high?

 

[craig]

Twilight games in QLD become more dewy on ground and as the evening progresses and teams struggle to be clean.

Is the GF a twilight or night game?

Might need some resin to get the ball to stick if we make the GF.

Grand Final is going to be a very fumbly stumbly affair with pressure.

Another fortnite away with the dewy conditions.

 

[craig]

Anyone worried about Cotchin's "tackle" that went way too high?

No because it was high tackle not a strike.

Top bloke one of the most down to earth and loved how he got another chance coaching his time at hawks valuable experience.

 

[WildStyle]

Tabloid weasel coming after us as usual on ch7. I see incidents like this happen every week with no comment.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Huh! no just too high. players do get tackled high. Free kick that's it.
