Game Day - Tiges V Eagles

[AstuteTiger]

Game day folks. With 8 of our best 23 sitting in the stands it's going to be a tough day at the office but the Eagles with the media and the crowd pumping them up could either inspire them to victory or fall flat on their faces.

Eagles have a tall line up ours smaller and so we will look to outrun them. Just got to make sure to cut down on the bombing into our forward 50, and lot ower the eyes for the lead-up pass as McGovern, Barrass and Duggan will be waiting to intercept any high balls coming in.

Tiges by 15 points

Surely there will be an injury on the team bus!!!???

I wouldn't be surprised if Steely comes in and Dow or McAuliffe goes out but hopefully, the team remains as named.

We brought in Taranto and Hopper to keep us competitive while we rebuild. Today we get the first glimpse of how we'd have done without them. Can we beat the spooner?

Luvely day for footy at Optical not a cloud in the sky with max 27C forecast. Freo doctor will most probably come in sometime in the afternoon so hope Tigers benefit from it. Going to the game on son & grandsons tickets who are between Cooper Pedy & Wirrilla on the Gawler Ranges Road. Tough game to call as our injuries are a big factor so fingers crossed for a Tiger win. If so be much nicer travelling home on the train with all the Weagles on it.

Anyone get an injury on the way to the ground?

Quiet thread. Perhaps a reflection of how much wind is out of the sails.

I’ve just landed in Perth myself and will be a first time rabid tiger in the west …. So I’m also hoping for an enjoyable stroll back to the hotel!!! Go Tiges eat ‘em Alive

Hamstring on the way to the Camfield

Certainly a danger game, we are expected to win but WC played ok last week and we have half the side out injured.

We need to win this one, just for a bit of confidence.

Then 10 days off and face Melbourne, against whom we are likely to be competitive until they draw away and an honourable loss, which I hate.

Haven't even left the house and have bulging disc and hip flexor issues from screaming at the tv last night.

 

[DuD_Delist]

Will come down to the Midfield.
Both sides have similar strengths(defence) & weaknesses(fwd).

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Really looking forward to the game.
Low expectations other than wanting the players to work hard and maintain a solid effort.
Will be mainly interested in how the young players perform. There's some positive signs with a few of them.
Tough game to take home the four points, yet optimistic that they can get the job done.
Tigers by nine points.

Don't sprain your ankle on your stroll

 

[Smoking Aces]

Don’t care about the result.

Just no more *smile* injuries.
