Gameday - Tigers V Bombers

[Brodders17]

Because it's high risk.. turn it over there and it's oppo goal time.

Yeah, it is probably worth doing sometimes, but with 3 minutes to go and a 5pt lead- that is not the time.

Not sure if someone's already posted it but Redman said they had planned for close games. Looks like Pepper Scott copied Scumwood. We should've done the same, but we're too self-centred on this chaos game. The franticness of it is what's killing us now in close games.

Everyone claims they practice it after they win- the reality is we gave the ball away in our 50 on a turnover that left us all out of position, and they were still reliant on Durham out marking Rioli in the goal square to win it.

Yes we continue to make mistakes in close games but luck is still a big factor- we lost to the Suns last year when Anderson(?) slotted a goal from 40 on a 45deg angle (we deserved to lose) while Collingwood beat the Dons last year when an Essendon player missed a very gettable shot to seal the game.

But yes, the style that serves us well during games, probably does cost us at the end.

Watching that last quarter again shows we just holiday at training. Do we practice positioning????

Even here, Rioli kicking in, why can't one player start running off to the left with a run and gun down the corridor instead
of kicking to where all Bummers are flooding?

Our kick outs have been a bugbear of mine for three years. Unless we get them on the roll quickly, we have zero creativity. Which is crazy, because it’s a set play we have no plan for.

We always go long down the line, which is also crazy, because we have no tall marking option. We have no tall forwards, our wingers aren’t marking wingers and Nank couldn’t Mark a Zuckerburg.

Kicking in from a behind, in the AFL in general, is a boring affair. Short kick to someone along the boundary then a long kick to someone further along the boundary and a ball up or throw in. Or run out from full back, kick long to someone on the boundary and a ball up or throw in.

Not with tigers. Run out and kick to an out number just outside 50 praying for baker to win a 1 in 3 marking contest against 2 oppo rucks and chf

Yep. If we didn't laugh we'd be bloody crying over some of these efforts.

You make it sound like that's not a good option?

Baker is pretty good in the air I guess.
