GAME DAY SEMI THREAD - Tiger vs Saints

[Mantikorr]

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

It was ugly, but it's just a free kick. Can't believe they were even talking about it

 

[toothless]

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

Had a gutfull. Richmond fans should seriously boycott the media

 

[Berwick boy]

No because it was high tackle not a strike.

Correct...fine at ABSOLUTE worst

 

[tigermouseau]

Balta’s was technically there but they don’t normally pay it. Overall we are getting more than we usually do from the umps.

Saints had one paid against Howard very similar in The first quarter but Lynch didn’t convert.

I'm sure it will get used in the press, along with Tommy taking a knee

 

[AstuteTiger]

With Lynch, leant on his neck for a split second, not a good look but geez it was as soft as butter. No way he goes for that. Not even a fine.

Nankervis, astounding game Sir, knew you'd come good tonight, can't believe his name hasn't been mentioned much throughout this thread ? Second only in importance tonight to Titch, my word he is class, even in those terribly slippery conditions and Bolton, BIG goals at important times of the game make all the difference.

Wasn't pretty, but we stay alive and move on, Port don't scare me anymore than anyone else left, we still ooze class when at our best and don't for a second think the other clubs wish they were playing ANYONE but the Tiges, bring on next week.

I already do.

No papers no websites no footy shows.

No SEN anymore either.

That was paid as deliberate. Balta was incorrect disposal. It was a *smile* free. Two minutes earlier King just drops it and play on.

I did this a few months after our 2017 flag, it’s so much better.

And nobody will get suspended, don’t worry. Just ignore the “debate”. They’ll say anything to get you to tune in.

 

[waiting]

Said it would be a 5 goal win but we sure made hard work of it.

Need to play much better if we are to beat Port . They are rested and waiting.

Positives
————-
-Lynch . Kicks straight is BOG. Is a brute. He tried to hurt in packs & tackles.
-Our smalls contributed greatly. Shai 3 goals,

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

Was going to say the same thing after watching his presser.

Saints have a great teacher, person and coach who if they listen , grow , mature might take that next step to their second flag.

CLASS ACT

 

[Sintiger]

Did something tonight that I wouldn’t normally do which was have a look on Twitter after the game.
Lynch is gone for 4 games, Cotchin is a disgusting human and should get 2 weeks, channel 7 love us as do the umpires and we are the AFL’s favourite.
Some or the comments are disgusting actually.
I’ve learned, won’t go back again so soon after a game.

N

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

No K3 .
Tackle that slipped high as he slightly rolled his shoulders.

But the media will try just like they will with Lynch.

 

[Ridley]

Dixon does the same things Lynch does and everyone talks him up like he's Carey. It's simply that Lynch plays for the Tiges and they just don't like us.

Spot on. Dixon is a thug. He pile drove a Hawthorn player's head into the turf off the ball but the commentator's couldn't get enough of it.

"Oh Charlie's just having a bit of fun!" Rampant hypocrisy.

Thank you for your service.

Cotch has taken some angry pills tonight.

Thank you for your service.

Your'e Welcome ...I do my best.

Exactly.
On the shoulder /neck area.

Silly but a fine. Gee he was brutal tonight.

Kicks straight and he is clear BOG.

 

[Ridley]

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

Yeah and they couldn't stop talking about Pendlebury breaking Buckley's captaincy record. Granted he also broke Tony Shaw's games record in the same game but still. How many flags has Pendlebury captained? Please remind me.

But no media bias against Richmond.......................

Vaguely similar, but Howard panicked, stepped out of bounds with Lynch 5m away and stopped once the job was done.

TBH the free against Balta was there. Just wish they'd pay it consistently.
