Do we want to lose or what??

[Disco08]

Gray, if you read the reports from Coburg last week it seems the 3 younger guys coming in all played well. Cogs has also played well by all reports and more importantly has got through a couple of games without any ill effects. At even 75% of his best he's a better option than anything we've got so now's the time to see if he's still up to it.

When the team is playing this poorly what more can you do than reward good performances in the lower levels and make those that don't perform at senior level make way for them?

Yet another "crunch" game and what do we do?? Bring in Tambling, Oakley-Nichols and Coghlan. Tambo has been criticised all his football life for poor delivery, Oakley-Nichols is a living example of a bean pole, and Cogs has not played for about two years.

All of this against one of the toughest tackling teams in the comp. Arguably, only the Saints and Sydney tackle harder. I agree with Pattison being given a run as Simmons has not been performing. And why drop Connors after just one game for JON??

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I am bemused by these selections.

I might add here that on League Teams last night on Fox, the panel were damning of the game plan of the Tigers. They said the Tiges did not have the type of players adapted for the possession type game employed by the club. To me that is the fault of the coaching staff. What ever happened to get the ball and kick it long, if the style of footy we are playing is not working, which it isn't!!

They don't want to lose gray, although the way they go about it, that's not immediately apparent. They just don't have anyone better to put in. They're just shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. It would help if they had a bit of spirit though. At the moment the Tigers look like a team devoid of courage, spirit, pride, confidence and skill.

Re: Do we want to lose or what??

We lost to Melbourne.

We gotta be tanking!!!

I won't get upset for the rest of the season.

I presume that's what our aim is now.

Not my decision, that's just the way it appears.

We've tried but the reality is we are crap.

Might as well just play kids from here on.

what a big statement dropping simmonds when graham is our number one ruck

although the decision seems ridiculous its one that needed to happen

Like several others on this site, I saw Commors back out of a contest, ie. slowed down & let a Melbourne player take the ball.
Given the need for our guys to play tough uncompromising footy, dropping him was absolutly necessary

OK Tag. Missed that one, but accept the reason. Thanks.
