GAME DAY - Tiges v Dogs

Just got home, longggggggggggg way home tonight with trains out and then roadworks but stoked I was at the game, its always good to be at a game you weren't expecting to win and then you do.
I thought our talls absolutely destroyed them tonight, only Naughton really stood up. Astbury, Balta, Broad and Grimes were awesome down back and made Schache look like a joke of a number 2 pick and Bruce to look like the spud that he is, leading to him trying to take Grimes out at every opportunity.
Cordy is another spud tall, Keath is ok, but geez he likes a hold.
Bakes as a forward / mid has me drooling, is the perfect long term Lambert replacement but can play that role with him still in the team too.
Shai was immense as was Nank who absolutely schooled Martin, when he don't argued him, he made him look like a schoolkid.
Its hard to picking anyone out not playing their role tonight, the forward / midfield pressure was excellent, Cotch really raised that in the 2nd quarter. I thought we were comfortably beaten in the 1st but were pretty good in the 2nd but just couldn't stick the ball through the big sticks, the goal towards the end of the 2nd was a confidence booster. Our centre clearance game in the 2nd half was outstanding (geez Shai is soooo good at the centre clearance).
I thought RCD did some nice things and didn't look out of place,
I was sat in level 2 of the ponsford stand (I'm usually the other end), but saw Mate in there. He's enormous. Was standing at the end for the song, was in the row in front of me and was still taller than me!! Haha

Unpopular opinion - he's good, played well and I'd happily have him at the Tiges.So Treloar had 27 disposals - he must have had them all in the first half.
Beavo frustrated that we had RCD and Ross play in the middle at times and we beat up their much hyped midfield.
Two guys that simply don’t have the required desire in Scache &
JJ
A key back pair of Keath and Cordy is surely the worst in the AFL.
crumples crumpling (and teaching the bont some crumpling moves)
Daniel leaking goals whilst racking up cheap stats.
Bruce being Bruce and Wood being Wood.
should have laid them at 5.50 as they really are a 20/1 shot. Simply not good enough.

You sum it up well, Posh. What a great victory. What an amazing team and club.
We can all enjoy the rest of the weekend so much more now watching the other teams knock each other out but knowing they've got an enormous challenge on their hands to take out the 2021 premiership flag.

I was sitting at the cricketers having a quiet beer waiting for friends before the game. I rarely bet but put a sneaky one on the tigers. I then read this post and thought stuff i feel the same. More money went on the tigers, ahh life is good.
Bruce is a massive spud. Another tall that hears footsteps. Dropped several marks in the 2nd half as he expected to get a hit from behind. Spent much of the 2nd half trying to take Grimes out off the ball.
That was hella fun. Being at the ground enjoying a win against the odds among friends is what has been missed. Joy.
Not compltely "done" with Aarts just yet, he's" hard at it" at least, if lacking in the skills the other 2 possess, but I'd take that at this stage, Daniel and Jas spend far to much time completely invisible for my liking.
Loved the move of Bakes up Forward in the 3rd Q, injected some much needed energy and toughness that was lacking in the 1st Half, great move by Dimma or someone in the Coaching box, to see and make that change. But I still like Bakes down back, his attack on the ball and running in straight lines has been a highlight of late, but his versatility is a major plus for us and is nice to have if we are down in a certain area, he's a real spark plug.

Always remember him at my youngests Auskick one morning. Wasn’t the best player there and cracked the 5hits when a five year old didn’t kick it to him.
Neither Bontempelli or Petracca are Dusty but they are pretty good. Just when you think they're toast, they'll manage to get the ball to a teammate in a better position.
