GAME DAY THREAD - TIGES V HAWKS

bit of negativity going on here... we look fine...
Hawks getting a lot of free kicks, we're getting none.. but nothin new there
Yeah there's nothing to worry about. Except the Swans next week. I'd rather a 7g win today than a 4. See what happens.

Not negativity, just not our best performance.
Caddy must be on his last chance.
Pickett is struggling.
Cotchin looks like he hasn't played in 6 months.
And Graham is looking really slow today.
 
Right now I don't know what the free count is but suffice to say I am sick to death of the frees not paid to us and the soft frees to the Hawks.
I do know that 1/4 time it was 8 to 3. Once again the umpires seem to not want to give us the rightful frees we are entitled to.
The Tigers have dominated the game so far and are only 23 points up with some woeful kicking for goal.
Should be, as someone else remarked, we should be up by a winning margin.
12-8.
But 8 in non dangerous areas of the ground.
 
Cotchin doing a lot Zips, feeding team mates, what he does better than most

The difference in talent between us and them is a chasm. Grand Canyon like. But we are keeping them in touch with our scrappy forward line play. Continually choosing poor options and kick to 1 on 3 outnumbers. If we fix that it will be a big win for us.

But this seems to be our MO in home and away season and we tend to fix it for finals.
 
Dusty, Broad, Nank, Lambert, Baker good. Short ok. Few need to lift a bit. Fridge quiet, Lynch dropping too many opportunities, Pickett struggling at times.
 
I can’t watch the game yet, so I’ve had to follow the updated score. I was thinking beauty, this will be a stress-free game to watch later!

Then I came here... are we really that average? I see we’re inaccurate while they’re accurate, so is the frustration from that?

The basic stats suggest we’re defending well and causing fast attacks on the rebound that lead to marks I50. How’s the defending look?

Just wish this MO could be a bit cleaner instead of watching kids football style of play.
 
You can see why all the media idiots rave about Port Adelaide. They absolutely smash *smile* sides into oblivion whereas we dominate the game yet mongrel our way to 3-5 goal wins. It’d be good to see a 10-12 goal rogering of the Hawks today.

But finals are a different story...........

Round 2. I actually expect to lose next week. Then we will slap ourselves in the face for Port.

Nah think we beat the Swans but probably lose to Port. But it’ll be their GF like the H&A game last year. We play our GF in the actual GF.

Martin 18 disposals, a goal 289 metres gained. Mitchel 20 disposals, 16 metres gained.
Mitchell is a nothing midfielder.
That's why the opposition leave him alone.
He is in the Guinness Book of records for the most possessions in games and the team still losing.
