LIDS WENT CRAZY- bout time

Good to see some aggression this is the problem at the Tigers why wasn't the rest of the team blocking for Deledio like Geelong do for Ablett whoever tags Gary gets a battering from Bartel Corey Rooke Chapmen etc

Spot on Inspector.

Nick Jewell said on SEN that Cousins observed when he fist came to the club that the midfield don't work hard enough for each other. Cousins was the only one consistently doing it against the Blues.
 
I also loved seeing Lids have a crack back. What it also does is show other taggers that he's not going to cop any crap anymore and will give them second thoughts about having a go at him and will get them looking behind them just in case they get get a whack. He did a similar thing to Ling the previous week where given the chance to tackle him, he threw Ling to the ground and really drilled him hard. Good stuff and is the right way to deal with heavy taggers. All he needs now is the help of the Tucks and Hislops in the team to help him as well.

Well, blow me down....I could have told them that for free without having to go to the trouble of drafting a Brownlow Medallist.... ;)

I've been saying it for years and on this very forum since I started so why the hell is it taking so long for someone to take action?
Are they blind?

To me...watching them closely on the weekend near the bench...they are simply unfit for a start (or they go too hard in the warm-up session before the bounce).

In fact, with the intensity of the game the way it is now...is the pre-game warm-up session overdone and maybe not even required anymore?
