GAMEDAY: PF 2020 Port v Rich

[jackfrost]

As i had predicted all week pickett will cost us this game. Has been ports best player so far. Complete deer in the headlights.

Well Ladham has probably beeen "our" Best, so it's still 22 per side at least.

 

[dimmauchamp]

Tommy needs to work harder to keep that ball in. Too easily out bodied each time. They are getting in his head. Pickett playing worse than Chol

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Need to play smart. Still losing our feet too often and removing ourselves from the contest.

Ruck and centre clearances were promising early.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Geez these ferals are dumb. Booing that free to Jack. Jonas literally smacked him in the face with his forearm, how do they see that not as a free!!

That’s what they’re like. He could have punched Jack in the face and they’d complain about the free.

 

[WildStyle]

They seem to have more speed overall than us. Going to be a tough game.

 

[craig]

Some Tigers looking a bit susceptible to the heat out there.

 

[zippadeee]

Why wasn't a 50 paid???

 

[leon]

Really surprised at such a lack of poise, too many fumblers. Not prepared to pick the ball up and try and use it. Too many kicking off the ground. wasted FL entries again. JR8 missed mark, looks so slow as we know.
Pickett terrible. Cotchin has lost a vital yard.

 

[mrposhman]

Defensively we've been pretty good. Grimes and Vlastuin particularly. Can't quite get our ball movement forward of centre quite right, just missing players means we have to either take possession and get tackled or go off the ground which we've done a few times. If we can get that connection a bit better we will get a lot of looks at goal.

 

[Berwick boy]

Our type of game...down and dirty. Will get nothing from umpires so need to make stop the ball from going over the top. Toby had to punch that ball 20m forward but unfortunately just glanced it. Still feeling good.

 

[Ridley]

Disappointing last few minutes of that quarter. Gotta say they look like the side playing 4th PF in a row. We look very panicky and unsteady. Pickett terrible. Houli panicking. Blokes just throwing it on the boot straight to Port players. And they are killing us out the back.

We really need to settle.

 

[Baloo]

They've really wound themselves up over Lynch. Odd. It's as if the take what Robbo says as gospel.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Well Ladham has probably beeen "our" Best, so it's still 22 per side at least.

Yeah, Ladhams has been shocking for them. Evens up his performance from the last time we played them.

 

[jackfrost]

Some of our blokes looking around a bit too much.

Port bringing the edge that knew they would.

Just got to absorb the early heat and try and get the first one

Prestia and Pickett both pulling up .... not on in these conditions and finals footy if you hope to advance. The time for "easy kicks" finished 2 weeks ago and players of this calibre shouldn't need to be told that.

 

[Tigers2011]

Defensively really poor (so fumbly) plus our entries inside 50 not effective enough - not to advantage & coming out too easily. Lynch needs to lead & crash bodies. Astbury not working as second ruck. Port rucks smashing it forward as Collingwood did in 2018. Pickett awful - ducked head in marking contest again & fumbled everything.

 

[dimmauchamp]

Need George to pull his finger out and makes himself busy around the 50 and crumbs. Sheds needs to get involved. Need ball in his hands

 

[kiwitiger]

19 inside 50s to 12 to them so could be worse on the scoreboard

 

[Mopsy]

Very noticable too is Marlion's sheepishness ...... no time for timidness at stage, get him off if he's not willing to go at it fiercley 100%

Right now he looks like a faux tough guy.

great when he has someone lined up but skittish when it’s his time to go.

 

[seven]

Pickett really needs to step up

Maybe go to the bench and have a seat.

 

[Greenie]

They Have got super clean hands in the forward line.
