Game Day - Tiges V Power

[AstuteTiger]

With so many injuries it's going to be tough to walk away with the 4 points, but it does present some opportunities for the youngsters to show their wares. Just take the game on boys and play with freedom.

Hoping for an upset, Tiges by 7 points.

I think Balta can really trouble Ports famous defence lol. Just dont kick it to Allir ffs. Forward line suddenly looks even bigger and more menacing with Lafau. Bolton LIFT! Need Miller to play well. I think Brown and Tresize are good additions I hope they stay. Taranto LIFT! It would be a surpise to get up but we will be in it.

Allir led him a merry dance last time, but Lynch wasn’t there then.

 

[year of the tiger]

It’s a free hit - on our turf - let’s see what the kids can do.

i remember when we went to SA and beat port on their deck without all our stars playing together - Lynch played his best game for his short career at the tigers - let’s use that as inspiration for an upset.

Repeat the effort we brought against the bloos and we are a definite smoky.

 

[tigertim]

Power by, dunno, 30-40.

 

[eZyT]

Ive got new footy goggles.

Seth Campbell and Tom Brown to show a bit of footballer

Mykelti to show a bit of cult status.

Dusty to show signs of immortality

$hai and Noah to entertain

The score will only become important at 3/4 time if theres 20 points in it

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Where kicking with the wind

I want to see us score. You win games by outscoring the opposition. You do that by limiting their scoring or increasing yours. The defence is depleted. Our ability to limit is reduced. Our forward line contains Lynch, Balta, LeFau, Martin, Bolton, Campbell. Hopefully soon we'll add Clarke and Cumberland.

The best form of defence is attack. Let's punch 'em in the face.

Problem with that is you need to get it out of the midfield.

If we have any chance of winning that battle Shai has to play in the guts. Same with Dusty.

We're winning it out of the midfield. Flogged Carlton at clearance. But yeah, you can't play 8 forwards, so Dusty and Shai to spend time on ball. MC FKN-A in from next week too.

Agree entirely. It is the reason Balta was finally moved forward in '23 and why he is still there.

Nullifying Soldo will go a long way to keeping us in it. Their mid field is fast and talented, even without H-F. If he gets on top it is pretty much all over.

 

[tired'lilah]

Banks, Ross or MJ as the sub? I'd guess MJ

It’s a joke. Why not 3.20 like it used to?

It’s a joke. Why not 3.20 like it used to?

Coz Doggies playing Suns
They want our game to follow and Wetcoke Giants to play once our game finishes

 

[Doogle]

Probably our worst team since 2012. I give us a 1% chance of victory today.

 

[footballmonk]

Not expecting much from today’s game result-wise (I’m predicting a 25 point loss), but I think there’s still going to be some enjoyment to be had at the MCG - looks like perfect conditions and a good chance to check out some of our kids. Plus the bow and arrow kid is no longer at Port and hopefully Charlie Dixon will get furious about something, which is always entertaining.

Good news some kids are playing & the bad news Tiggs could cop a hiding today

 

[Carter]

You know what, that listed team can still *smile* on port’s day.

We aren’t vanilla, I’ll say that much

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
