GAME DAY Tiges v Lions
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I had a pleasant night apart from loss. No hassles. Barely any swearing around us or anything.
My thoughts in the cool light of day.
a really unenjoyable night at the footy.
as a spectacle, it felt similar to the sydney game at the gabba last year. Stilted, highlight-free, flooded, unexciting footy. In the 2nd q, as they steadied themselves, their behind the ball set-up felt very much like Geelongs in the 2nd q of the GF
the umpiring was horrendous. I found myself unable to enjoy the game at all really, even when we were winning.
some unusual coaching. Saw DTLD, vlastuin and rcd at full forward through the night???
Marlion had a shocker. He seemed to be involved in as many brisbane score chains as the umps
you could really see us lose momentum everytime Nank rested. We really need a 2nd ruck. I cant see us winking the flag without making this move pretty soon.
Brisbane fans have to be the dumbest in the game? Bloke boos dusty when gets tackled, goes off his brain and calls him useless. I say hey mate, hes the best player the world has known and hes scrupulously fair. Hes won 3 norm smiths. Oh yeah? He goes. How many premierships has he won? Well, as many as fitzroy and brisbane combined i think? But thats not counting the Daley M's and Kangaroos jerseys.
the scoreboard person kept putting sydney swans players under richmonds stats???? Dane Rampe was our best all night.
Finally, ill reiterate, that was the worst, most lopsided umpiring ive ever seen and it totally *smile* my 'match day experience', as the AFL would put it.

What was with Daniher’s multiple unrealistic marking attempts not being penalised either. He effectively takes one or two players out of a contest with this technique of his.
Also, Zorko has to be the biggest piece of crap playing in the AFL.

transition mids. the second handball guys.
Dusty? not really. third handball / kick
RCD? no. first handball
Ross? first handball
Graham? defensive mid. tackler
Baker? first handball
cotchin. first and second handball. transition mid.
edwards. second handball specialist to release into space. transition mid.
prestia. first and second handball. transition mid.
bolton. third handball / kick, like dusty.
lambert. second handball. transition mid.
we aren't playing any bona fide transition mids. this is why we can't spread at the moment and why teams are winning so many clearances.
when oppo midfields get a sniff they start running forward to dangerous positions and the rest of our structure is put under pressure. when our D50 is put under pressure, our small forwards are sucked too high in support, meaning they have to run harder to get forward and crumb. often they will be a second or two too late, lynch/jack bring it to ground but it is cleared easily, leading to a critical shortfall of F50 tackles.
structure 101. you need your transition mids and we haven't been playing any.

Lost any semblance of respect for him after his carry in over Cameron v Grimes. He’s your classic barnacle.
Meh...Take the equivalent of Cotchin, Prestia, Lambert, Edwards and Bolton out of that Brisbane team and they would’ve lost by 10 goals. We are just hanging in there but those players make us an entirely different side.
Embarrassingly Did something I’ve never done before last night , was nothing to do with the Tiges performance , however early in the second quarter I turned the footy off , just couldn’t be bothered watching the rub of the green frees go against us again, yep spooky la la from me and definitely would not leave a game for it, just couldn’t be *smile* watching that *smile* again, again I have no issue with the actual umps, no doubt some are better then others but it’s just the grey soft rules . My son came out to the lounge and said what’s the footy score , I said I don’t know haven’t got it on , he said no wonder it’s quiet lol , smart arse.I must say in the firs5 qtr I didn’t have the volume on as I never do with BT commentating, I find that helps the blood pressure . I’ve sat through 100s of games while we are getting pumped and maybe it’s just that ive been blessed by this amazing team to fulfi my life dreams that it dosent now mean as much, however even though we were winning I simply just couldn’t be bothered watching another injustice to a great team.
In saying that I hope there wasn’t any other weak as *smile* Tigers out there
To lose by 5goals is still an ordinary performance in my eyes , they had plenty out too, *smile* happens
Go Tiges

That's exactly what Mick McGuane tweeted last night.
Those 5 make us the real deal again.

Agree. When I looked at our outs and the fixture I think we all expected a L. What really rankles is the way we lost. We got absolutely reamed. It was similar to the Port game in terms of bias in umpiring decisions ( and non decisions). At 5-5 with our slow start and injuries I will take that as a launching pad to our threepeat flag.
Got to laugh reading Andrew Stafford's report of the game in The Age.
Was expecting at least a mention of the 20-6 free kick count at half time, as it's, well newsworthy. I can't recall a more lopsided count in a half of football.
The only mention of "free kick" in the article was when Riewoldt "kicked a third on Adams from a free kick".
LOL

This is a conspiracy.
No one is seeing what we are witnessing.
Have a look at the free kick ladder.
We are last by 20 free kicks.
How about the ladder to show missed free kicks. We would be clear on top by 20 too.
Its a joke.
These pricks don't watch the game.
