Game day Tigers v Eagles

[King Kong]

We can afford to lose Short.
Now we have Rolli, Short and Ross in the middle was 1991 quality McKellar and Underwood quality.
We had 5 picks Kong use at least 1 to get a ready made mid
Collier Dawkins and Dow are delist material

I don't mind Dow agree with RCD.

Our forward line is functioning well, but our defence is leaky. Must tighten up in the final third of the season.

Defence wins premierships.

Defences leak when the oppo midfield has a birthday. I thought our defence held up pretty well considering how easily they ran it out of the middle.

We are lucky this game was here if it was in Perth
Season wouldve been over

Watch the reserves and then comment

Good news is Eagles may trouble the blooze next week over in perth

Shades of 2017.
A match-winning quarter, the second quarter, 7.2
Vintage Dimma coaching genius.
One of the great coaches of the modern era, victorious despite the 51-36 clearance deficit.
Dimma stresses the importance of rebound resilience.

Outside of 4 points and Marlions game, not too many positives to take from that one

Rioli?

 

[Bunnerz]

GeeZ, some very angry posters/comments on here this afternoon.

Wasn't perfect but ok.
Didnt really get out of 3rd gear (and didn't need to)

Anyway, have a glass of red and relax.

Mutual admiration society with you and King Kong bagging everyone from the bootstudder up. Go and have a couple of stiff drinks and calm down a bit

Rioli?

His direct opponents have kicked 6 in the last 2 weeks. Cripps 3 Stengle 3
Maybe move him to the wings.

 

[tigerlove]

Don't blame the back 6
Blame Ross Short Baker that couldn't get there hands either on the ball or on the opposition

Agree, backline has been solid this year. A few uncharacteristic mistakes in this game but 1 game doesn't reflect the season.

Ok so just home and have not seen the game - read the last couple of pages thought we must be getting smashed so looked at the score to see we are over 30 points up and over 120 points kicked. WTF is wrong with u guys, U r either supporters of this club or not. We have 3 premierships on the board in the last 5 and all u can do is bag our premiership players...

Watch the game then and you might see the reason for the angst.

Yeah, only saw second half, but the Eagles were no easybeats, they brought it and rolled the dice relentlessly. Not easy to play against. Gotta give them credit, made the most of their ruck advantage, the 666 rule and exploited our weakness, they didn't die wondering. Good win.

They only had 4 more inside 50's, and had the same amount of scoring shots (28).

Yes, we were poor in the midfield but conceding a score in 50% of their entries with an average forward line is worrying.

Blame Nic Nat. Hitting it to advantage all day......

I'm amazed he didn't blow up, looking very doughy

I saw Rioli on Willie quite a bit, the backline moves around a lot. But Rioli had 28 disposals,9 score involvements, kicked a goal (could have been 3) and 2 goal assists. Rioli well and truly won his contest by a country mile.

We had 7 more inside 50s in the first half.
