Gameday - Tigers V Bombers

Is Marlion afraid to attack the footy? Several times in the first half he seemed to either avoid marking or even touching the footy.
Is he a forward, not so sure.
Since the swans game he has made more side steps then in a Texan line dancing class

Our newest genius experiment at VFL level is Sonsie playing at half back. This is after Hopper gets injured, so we’re down a mid, then Dow was crap tonight. But hey, the coaches know best
Mind boggling.

The drafting just hasn't been good enough under Matt Clarke. It could be a long period in the wilderness.

That's enough of McIntosh, we are desperate for kicking class and smarts. Just play Banks. McIntosh is a liability with the ball.
It's tough. Ross has taken Pickett's wing spot. Imo only 1 of Pickett or Kmac should be playing. Or if both go, who takes the other wing? Do we just bite the bullet and play a youngster (I don't honestly know who that would be), Ralphsmith maybe. We have a lot of gaps of upcoming quality in our list atm.

Was Prestia injured? Hardly sighted him all night long. Must be something wrong with him surely.
He's cooked, besides a 5 minute purple patch against West Coast he hasn't got near it. Can't get out of first gear.

He may still be capable of a goal or two, but he is often costing another 4/6 going the other way. Opponents just running off him for frequent rebound 50s
That's my biggest concern as well. Jack's lost his ground-ball skills, and is incapable of stopping his opponent running off him so easily.

Both our ruckman can’t mark the ball.

No one blows a game and a season up like the RFC.

Bongers loss.

Swans loss.

Doggies loss

Suns loss

Blues draw

All should have been wins.

The moment that Lynch went down our season went with him.

If we tried to counteract pointless sideways kicks in the backline we would have had no chance, it's not our game plan, we're not setup for that gameplan. We setup behind the ball. As I said, they kicked 2 goals in a half, we had their game plan under control. We lost it in the last with diabolical disposal and decision-making.
You mustnt have been watching too close. It wasn’t “pointless sideways kicks” they executed, it was the way they inched their way up the ground that allowed them to have a) not just more time in possession but b) almost the same amount of inside 50’s as us and c) more shots on goal.

That’s hardly having their game plan under control !

And that’s an indictment on us for allowing a crap team like that to do that to us.

I'm sure he's not! Clueless, needs the freedom to play wing and that's all.

So what's the point of hanging on to Tarrant now? Why not open the space for a crack at someone else.
