Game Day - Tigers v Weagles

Just started to watch the delayed telecast. Joel certainly copped a good on just on quarter time.

11 goal 3rd quarter to the Eagles. At least we kicked some goals that quarter.

7.8.50 to 21.13.139

Our defence is an absolute @$#% disgrace as usual.

When will they wake up and recruit a geniune key position defender

This ridiulous path of undersized players is a joke.

And for those of you who say Polak, absolutley no way hes a hack

Our defence is missing Hall, Kellaway and Gaspar. A lot of experience not there and some large Eagles forwards.

You make a good point

Except all three of those players are finished and shouldnt even be on the list come 2007.

No disrespect to Andy hes been brave, courages and loyal, but a new direction is needed
 
My 3/4 time report.

Ok, I'll start with the positives - Tambling has beaten Banfield, J.Bowden has battled really well although undersized.  That's it.

Simmo smashed in the ruck by Cox.  Terrible display.  Done his AA chances absolutely no good.

Very disappointed in Tuck.  If he could try hitting, kicking or handballing the thing to a Richmond player's advantage - that'd be nice.

The taxi came back and took Hyde to meet *smile* for a beer.

We are disadvantaged by having 5 goal posts at our end.  Four are painted white and the other one has a yellow & black jumper with no.10 on it.  The white ones a slightly more mobile.

Tivendale - oh where do I begin?  Tiv's version of tagging must be to watch his man from as far away as possible, and give the ball to the opposition whenever you get it.  Somebody needs to tell Tiv that the opposition are allowed to tackle him.  They are not going to just let you walk away with the ball because you slightly shimmy once in a pack.

This performance is our worst of the year.  We are soft and go to water whenever the opposition stand up to us.  

As you can tell, I'm bloody outraged that this is the performance they let us carry with us through the off season.  ROll on trade week.

I am here at work, sounds like I should be glad I am, what message are the players sending about Chubba??
How highly regarded Chubba is to the playing group
 
Commentators are giving a rap to Roach, his opponent Braun has only had 9 possessions. Not sure whether that's just because they know his career may be on the line.
 
When 7 West Coast players have 20 possessions plus, and the first Tiger is on 20 possessions, half way through the last quarter, you know you've been thumped. Let's face it West Coast is very hot and Tigers with all the youngsters has a way to go. Moving in the right direction but we've shown against the Top 8 that we are 3 years plus away from the real challenge.
 
Interesting come draft time.As much as we need some key backs equally we need Midfeilders.

Good if we're thinking of grooming Roach has a tagger.  Fact is he's had 5 possessions. today.  Has he had much game time?
