GAME DAY Tiges v Lions

[dimmauchamp]

We used to be so clean below the knees, we are fumbling and falling over similiar to what we were like in 2016

Agree we look a little panicky but without making excuses i really feel that the players feel the added panic of the umps screwing them for the slightest. The whistle against us is almost instant. Going the other way it takes an eternity to get a call.

 

[dimmauchamp]

We got totally massacred in the clearances.

Happens when the entire midfield is missing and the coaches stubbornness to play a 2nd ruck

 

[ILUVDISCO]

Can I suggest we take Jacob Townsend in the midseason draft, on the clear intention that he will be picked for 1 game and 1 reason. Round 18 and closing some loud mouths!!

 

[gutfull]

The season starts NOW ..
can get to the bye 7-5 no problem .

 

[Jason King]

Expected that. Can't win against a quality side without a midfield.

Also what point is a mozzie fleet if they can't mop anything up?

Too many times the ball was in dispute and there was always a free lions player to sweep away with an easy clearance.... McSuitcase he was everywhere.

 

[toothless]

Cannot believe Fagan just compared their outs with ours and that it was even at team selection. This guy is clueless. Triple premiership midfield almost completely missing against who? Ill give them Neal and thats it

He's comparing Neale, J.Berry, Gardiner, Rayner, & Lester to Bolton, Sheds, Prestia, Cotch, Lambo, & Soldo...

Th

Thought he went missing tonight when the going got tough.

Thought he was missing pretty much from the first bounce, can't say I've seen him play a worse one than that, happy for him to get that one out of the system in Rd 10 though, he'll bounce back, classy players always do.

 

[dimmauchamp]

Right now we are not good enough and carrying too many passengers so we need a big freshening up for next week

The carrying too many passengers is the biggest one for mine. Believe that a lot of the games weve lost have been due to some really poor team selections

 

[UKTiger]

Nah, was glad to hear/see that he did ......... deplorable and needs to be said out loud. Hell, even those numbnuts in the Fox studio said "he just stated the facts", not sure how you can be fined for that.

You can if you are Richmond!

 

[SpaceAce]

You are right though, 15 minutes into that game it was clear the umpires were never gonna give us a fair chance to win it

The big challenge will be to keep our guys mentally focused and motivated, knowing that this criminal operation run by SHocking
is designed to prevent us from continuing our dominance.
It must be soul destroying for our players to give 100% each week and be constantly beaten down like this.
I hope Emma Murray is onto this.

Horrible game to watch live.

umps ruined it as a spectacle.

they seemed to be jnvolved in ever lion score chain

and i reckon 10 brisbane goals came with nank on the bench.

crowd booed dusty.

Betcha they will. We must be the only professional sports league in the world where a coach is nit allowed to be honest about his feelings regarding the officiating.

 

[Redford]

Hardwick press conference might be interesting....wasn’t happy at half time. 28 point loss might subdue his anger a bit though.

 

[tigerlove]

Thought the inexperienced guys all struggled except for RCD who looked at home weaving through the traffic. He was clearly being played as an outside midfielder, only had 1 contested possession. Naish was disappointing, he's 22yo now but just really struggled. Reminds me a bit of Corey Ellis, moves well but not sure he has the quality needed for AFL level.

 

[jackfrost]

Needs a long spell to pull his head and ego out of his arse. Trading on his surname imo.

I'd be fine right now to replace one Rioli for the other, let's see what Jr has, nothing to lose at this stage that I can see.

I reckon last week's midfield was stronger

Nothing footballer
Danny Roach part 2.
Jibbed nearly every 50 50 ball tonight.
He won't play again

 

[jackfrost]

You are making way too much of this. He kicked it poorly tonight, but he's a beautiful kick of the footy usually. Maybe review his previous 50 games before touting him as a poor kick after 1 poor kicking game.

If he gets to the Gryan Myron Byron Griers stage ....................................... then I'll really start to *smile* the bed.

 

[jackfrost]

Just cannot persist with Marlon. Disposal is a momentum killer. u just cannot carry a player who turns it over every time. He makes Dan Jackson look like Jarmen.

OH *smile* .....I hope Rosy isnt looking in !!!

 

[rat bastad]

Betcha they will. We must be the only professional sports league in the world where a coach is nit allowed to be honest about his feelings regarding the officiating.

And the only one who's umpires/referees are not full time professionals. Mus'nt be enough $$$$ in the game......right?
