GAME DAY SEMI THREAD - Tiger vs Saints

[Mantikorr]

Really disagree. Balta would be much better otb and DTLD in his customary KPD. No hurt factor; have lost his defensive marking and spoils. Marshall is able to handle him easily. No real jump.

Free the Balt! Let him rip!

Agree 100%

 

[eZyT]

Really want Prestia to smash the 2nd half - has done nothing since his return.

Except release $hai to fullforward.

All very good

Vlastuin has bee [poor hes had a bad one so far, fumbly and sliding all over the place like hes on ice skates.

Hopefully a few tigers change their boots during the break.

Pickett, Lambert, Rioli and Baker been poor with the footy in hand also.

Edwards and Shai only blokes really handling the conditions. Dusty bit messy but ok as is the Skipper.

Broad steady down back hasn't put a foot wrong and won all his contests.

Grover been good.

Dave handy in ruck apart from one fumble that cost the goal

Short needs to use the footy better instead of just bombing to outnumbered players

 

[Ridley]

A nice first half but I still feel like we haven't clicked and are running out of minutes to do so before it gets serious.

Good signs though, really only conceded most scores from uncharacteristic blues from experienced guys who won't do that often.

Getting some nice run through the lines going as well.

Shuddering seeing Astbury rucking after his knee issues, without wearing a shin pad either, but he is competing.

Really hoping to see us light up in the second half to take a boost into next week.

Yeah I think we can play a lot better. We seem quite fumbly and are slipping over more than them. Inside 50 kicking is still rubbish. Yet we are 5 goals up

We dominated the first quarter until the last 2 minutes where poor decisions and execution gifted the Saints a very late goal. They then had the better of the first half of Q2 but it was encouraging to see us steady and wrest back control.

We need to put the game beyond them in the 3rtd quarter. Don't give them a sniff. Foot on the throat Tigers!

 

[Baloo]

Can you post anymore negatively tonight Craig? Sheesh!!

Yes, bloody oath he can.

 

[tigerlove]

Looked to me the whole ball bounced over the line but could be wrong. Will have to have another look.

Was well over the line, probably 20 cm.

 

[toothless]

@BrisTiger24 how is Marlion travelling? TV isn't doing him justice

 

[Harry]

Balta needs to stay on King. Bolton and Baker playing great games

 

[tigerlove]

That was a pi55 poor effort from Flossy. Had that ball covered and executed a very lazy effort to kill what was an easy ball over the line.

We've dropped a lot of straight forward marks in our backline

 

[mrposhman]

Pretty good 1st half. Gee Edwards looks a million $'s doesn't he. Bolton been excellent in the F50. Dusty looking great. I think Lynch has really straightened us up, showing what we missed with Chol on Andrews, the Saints are really struggling to take marks in their F50 and Rioli and Bolton have been all over it.

Vlastuin has look very fumbly the last 2 weeks, dropping marks he shouldn't etc.

Broad and Baker been very good too.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

I’m not sure what Castagna brings to the team anymore. I’m going to watch his second half closely, because he’s running out of credits for mine. I’d swap for Markov next week if he doesn’t lift.

 

[bozo]

No we havent clicked. This standard won't beat Port.

Think we will enjoy the less slippery/humid Adelaide conditions next week. Look like we’re too scared of fumbling.

 

[craig]

Can you post anymore negatively tonight Craig? Sheesh!!

Ha like i'm wrong theyve been shitful entering 50 I say it how it is.

 

[The_Celebrant]

Shai at FF great. Would also mess with Port's and Brisbane's defence if we get that far.

 

[Berwick boy]

Commentary desperate for that overturn

Correct...how flat are the commentators when we are winning. Pathetic

 

[tigerlove]

I wanna see Rioli kick a footy that doesn't scrub the ground in the 2nd half.

 

[zippadeee]

The ball didn't actually cross the goal line.
WTF is John Ralph taking about!!
It had nothing to do with Big V. The didn't actually cross the line.

 

[zippadeee]

I wanna see Rioli kick a footy that doesn't scrub the ground in the 2nd half.

What hole has he fallen in?
Stkilda's goals.
Savage long 55 metre goal. Good.
Bulter goal 5 seconds after siren.
Steele paid a free from Mollison
We are doing ok

 

[Baloo]

Ha like i'm wrong theyve been shitful entering 50 I say it how it is.

No, you say it how you see it, not how it is.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

That’s the worst decision of all time.
