Game Day - Tigers v Blues
- Thread starter Mr T.

So Cumbo was the reason the twos lost?
Coz Mansell has given so much more as a forward in his career than Cumbo has........................
if he had played in the seniors according to you we would have won
so he must then be the reason we lost in the 2s
This ^^^ x 100%.
Was at the game and really did'nt have high expectations from either side tonite tbh, called it a 50/50 game and was pretty much on the money. We are slow season starters in general.
Don't forget 8 x 50 meter penalties killed us in the corresponding game last year.
I reckon if Cumbo, Sonsie or Juddy played last nite we easily win. As it went anyway, we had 20+ more inside 50s than these bozos and really should have killed them off easily and pretty much showed our poor execution/decision making.
Not going to rag on Mansell, Ross or others in the first game of the year. Pointless really.
Having said that, on what we showed tonite, I think we would have been easily beaten by the better sides in the Comp.
I reckon we'll get better, of that I'm sure. OTOH, I'm not sure the Tankers will make the 8 imho.
We'll know where we are at by Rd 8 or so.
Nice summation. Nailed it in fact.
I like Balta's stature, but you are correct in saying he has ZERO footy smarts/IQ.
He is 250lbs of dynamite with a 1/4" fuse, you can't teach footy IQ ad as such he will always be limited in that dept.
As for the AFL - the less said the better.
And yes, we ARE way better than what we showed tonite but would have been in trouble vs better sides.
Balta didn’t hold his own. Mackay was given BOG by Buckley. And roundly praised by all. Balta was very average.
Petty of SOS not to be there in the rooms.
Jo Silvagni was.
Jack apparently broke down after for his 100th.
Anyway, watched the final quarter replay.
Nank was massive, sharked the ball from the ruck 3 or 4 times.
Mansell slotted in well, did what was required, excellent mark and superb pass to Lynch.
Watch the replay, Lynch signals and Mansell kicks it precisely to the spot.

They highlighted on the match review.
Balta was outmarked several times by McKay, they had to move Miller onto McKay.
Balta's problem is he doesn't have that quality to lead in from behind, he gets caught out of position, static.

Not a great look that Steve didn't go into the rooms.
Although could it be the fact that he's now an employee of another club and perhaps the best thing was to stay out. Who knows.
Sad either way that a legend of the club doesn't feel welcome.
Them gazelle's generally tend to end up as leopard poop when they mix to closely. Prefer to think of Foosh as a Tiger shark n watch for oppo players to end up as shark *smile*.
Just listening to SEN now, is it a coincidence Nonsense commentated Cartoon's goals (all of them?) while the other bloke did ours.
Nonsense Whateley is a terrible commentator. Doesn't have the voice.

My useless observations… Worked super hard, not super smart going inside 50.
Rub of green went with Carlton imho , that happens
Going into the game I thought the dangers were Weitering on Lynch, thought Toms form was very encouraging, -McKay , Balta did ok , I think getting Taz back will only help Balta , -Cripps , played well , however I think we did a better job of quelling his influence, CC , reckon old man Grimes did a pretty good job .
Im still of the belief we need to ad class I.e Clarke, Sonsie in favour of the Mansell types .
Ryan is a must in favour of Miller or Jack
Super high pressure game , probably should have got the points by taking advantage of our forward entries, however not bad form starting the year.

The whole purpose of the interchange rotations is to give players, especially the on ballers short recovery spells during the game. Bugger all rotations would indicate we're leaving players on the ground for to long in the first half. If they're already cooked during the second half they'll need much longer rest time to freshen up again or become plodders last qtr.
Yep, we leaked goals last year, better defensively across the ground last night just didn't capitalize on forward entries.
What I keep noticing not just in this game but many previous ones.
Old fella I played golf with another old timer like yourself last weekend, I think he too was at WW2 , anyway had hip replacement a few months back, was walking the next day and was golfing within a couple of months . LIFT
These round 1 games due to no footy for so long always get over analysed ,
Teams that have a bad loss will get written off , teams that have a good win over hyped
then next week to add to the confusion , lots of the teams will look like they have swapped jumpers .

13 disposals, 7 turnovers, if that's BOG then I'm gonna play for them next game. Had 10 marks, at 10cm difference and playing more up the ground, Balta was always going to lose in the air. Balta was beaten on the night no doubt but that wasn't ctitical to our failure to win.
