GAME DAY Tigers V Bombers Dreamtime
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Very nervous about this one. They will be dying to beat us.
Nank is a huge out.
But cometh the moment, cometh Mabs. And CJ must butter up.
If this is the start of our run to the flag then the WLWL trend will stop tonight.
Us by a kick.

Yep, we have some key players out in Nank, Lynch and Astbury.
And, for Our midfield apart from lambert, we are pretty much at full strength. We will beat them, media overhyping the bombers.
Tigers by 25 pts

So many must win games in the second half of this year, and it started last week and has to continue this week.
Semi-confident we can win but we need to be building because we have a way to go to challenge this year.

Yeah, we're lucky Draper's not playing. Phillips has been going well...for him.
Massive game.
We’re still finding our way and I don’t think it’s ever taken quite this long in a season to do it.
The bottom line is we ain’t spreading like we used to and we ain’t defending like we used to.
The spread will come, although the loss of Nank is important.
What worries me is our defence. Grimes is way off, Vlastuin isn’t himself, Astbury is glue and Balta is still prone to panicking.
We are packed with talent - Martin, Riewoldt, Bolton, Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards, Baker is the envy of any team.
Tonight is a fork in the road. Lose and I fear that the bye won’t magically set us on a finals path.
Win and we have a trend. A spark.
Win comfortably and you could say we’re settling into our stride.

Agree. Seeing Melbourne beat brisbane on the spread with their handball game confirmed to me what's been missing from our game. Suspected we've been playing too static chip chip mark conservative footy. Need to get on our collective bikes and get our running handball game up and running. No doubt essendon will try to beat us this way tonight.
Big game tonight. Win and we go into next week (hopefully) against a decimated Eagles team with a chance to win in Perth (which I think most of us probably had down as an L before the start of the season).
Win these 2 and go into the bye at 8 and 5 with a nice run home, top 4 would still be beckoning.
Big game, need big game players to stand up tonight through the midfield. Prestia and Cotch will be better for last week. Hopefully our forward line of CJ and Jack can stretch their backs.

Carter. Last week was a good start. Finally started to control the ball but we are leagues behind Melbourne at the moment. Our backline cant do its thing because of the ease the ball rebounds from our 50. Our pressure forwards cant do their thing because the raft of anti Richmond pressure rules have finally overwhelmed them. Key as acknowledged by Hardwick - extra marking targets inside 50 and more controlled inside 50s. Its an unknown tonight. Relying on Chol for example is akin to believing in the tooth fairy. Go tooth fairy!!
