Well what can I say about that one?? Most of the tigers looked like they were running in high heels for most of the night!
As Danny said "too many passengers" even with Pettifer out of the team.
Rodan - Flying under the radar at the moment. finding it hard to get into space. Down on form but we should persist with him in the 1's
Stafford - One of the best tigers on the ground and was getting nearly all of the tap outs. But what good is it if your midfield aren't hungry enough to receive them.
Zantuck - IMO this guy is getting better with every game. Was one of the few shining lights on the night and showed a lot of courage.
Newman - was great early but not all that far off the pace for most of the night. Expect better next week.
Coughlan - Poor disposal for most of the night. Was down on form but still better than most of the others on the night. Maybe not 100% fit as he looked a little tentative at times.
Krakouer - Once again showed plenty of fight and played well for most of the game. As I have said before, the attitude is right, the opportunities just weren't there on the night.
King - Actually made a solid effort for most of the time he was on the ground but just doesn't have the qualities to be a matchwinner which we so desperately needed on the night.
Hilton - Coburg.... No make that Euroa. Crap performance. disinterested. no confidence. Did not convert vital opportunities early in the game. When he was lining up for shots on goal, he had "point" written all over his face.
Fiora - Coburg
Vardy - Coburg. But with Hall down on form he may have to stay.
Hall - this guy is way down on form and still can't kick. Got a few tap outs on the night but only because the opposition ruck was substandard.
Flemming - misguided enthusiasm. Needs to improve his disposal. But there were worse out there on the night.
Johnson - not one of his best performances but was tagged well on the night and as there weren't many other tigers that looked threatening he remained tagged for most of the game. Look for better next week.
Cameron - what can I say?? way down on form. As far as passengers went on the night he had a first class ticket with Skybed. Really needs to lift!
Richardson - Tried pretty hard all night but most of our kicks from the midfield put him under a lot of pressure due to poor delivery. Playing well, just needs more quality opportunities.
Kellaway - was pretty solid for most of the night but was also down on form. Expect better next week.
Gaspar - was great early and kept Hall to just 7 possesions for the night. Another solid effort and is doing his job every week. I just wish a few others were as consistent as he is at the moment.
Rogers - Did a reasonably good job on Schneider and was solid. No reason to drop him at this stage.
Houlihan - Did pretty well for the time he was on the field but like many others he needs to lift.
Bowden - Played pretty well and was one of our better players on the night. Got quite a bit of the ball and showed plenty of courage. I just wish he would reduce his turnovers a bit.
Chaffey - Had another great game across half back. If it wasn't for him, we could have lost by a much bigger margin.
Tivendale - Did pretty well all night but had very few options to kick to across the midfield except when Richo did his long runs to the flank. Being a key link player he needs options across the midfield and half forward flank and on the night there were very few tigers in space so most of his disposals went to contests where we were outnumbered.
Interesting note, We have only won one night game this year and that was a close one against the D's.
Maybe Danny has been sending the boys to bed by 7:30 most nights which would explain their night time form. As next week is also a night game I hope we can turn this trend around!
