Good win. Great debut by the Egg. Great game by Bolton. Team selection gonna be interesting with Jack and Caddy possibly back. McIntosh Short and Ellis on shaky ground.

Not after the position at half time.

Percentage is important and we just blew a golden opportunity to gain a lot more.

I reckon coasting a bit on a heavy deck to save the legs for GWS next week and still coming away with a 92 win is a pretty good outcome TBR

Ideally at 84 points up at half time you’d love a 120 point win but it rarely works out that way. It’s pretty hard to keep a side down for 120 minutes.

It’s like in cricket when you have the opposition 5/70, often the tail wags and they make 200 or so.

Kmac and Broad are out of form.

Short has always had question marks over his lack of defensive pressure and today against a lowly team it was there for all to see. NOt only that but his kicking was below par. TBH, would rather have Naish in.

What does Graham add?

The Egg started a bit shaky but warmed into the part nicely. He is a very reliable kick.

4 pts and a bucket load of percent in the bag - well done tigers.

Those not happy with a 92 pt win will never be happy

To put it perspective - Biggest winning scores kicked so far this weekend:

Hawthorn - 67 points
Essendon - 76
Richmond - 150
Power have kicked 38 to halftime.

Haven't watched the game but on AFL.com.au had Ellis & Kmac in our best, are they wrong?

While we’d all take a 90+ point winning margin, I think it’s fair to say our second half was fairly crap. I’m not concerned about the score but discipline and ruthless mindset were lacking. That’s what I wanted to see and what the team needs to learn.

Pretty good effort from the boys today. Played fast corridor footy and forward line looked dangerous. None of this boundary line chipping like Collingwood. Ellis another good game. Stack forward is a game changer. Few teams above us would be very nervous!

Was great to see Cotchy back to his best. From the opening bounce he was on and also Castagna had a ripper. Nice left foot on the Eggman as well.

Dusty is one of those rare players that takes it easy when the side is cruising :D At least he got a bit of a rest.
