What is Neil Balme thinking?

[Tigerdangerous]

A great win to the Tigers on the field and in the coach’s box. Maybe Hardwick has a sneak peek occasionally and reads a few posts on PRE?

And maybe we have a glimpse into what Balme was thinking with Hardwick’s positional changes during the game and the way he used Edwards that contributed to the win.

It’s good to finish the game without any noticeable injuries for a change.

And a special note to the hypoactive AFL who feels that rule changes at the beginning of each season means they know how to improve the game of football – you don’t so stop it!!!!!!

Yes, it’s true. Dimma checks PRE for sound footy advice. Oh, it’s also true any good positional moves he makes are done by Balmey.

Do you just write *smile* for the sake of it or is this how you think generally? Don't you know sarcasm is like cheap wine - it leaves a terrible aftertaste. :spin

Enjoyed the intensity the Tigers brought to the game against Port and hope with the injection of youth, forced in part by injuries, that intensity remains for the rest of the season.

Yeah, they must cut him real deep : : :

Can't argue with this sentiment. Reckon we've been backsliding in this aspect of our game since our flag win. Been just that little bit comfortable with our ability to turn the switch when we've felt like it, last year and starting this one instead of bringing heat all game.

Oh the irony

 

[The_Celebrant]

By the powers invested in me, I hereby pronounce this thread dead.

 

[Tigaman]

Wonder what he thinks of the new no kick in the square after a point. To me compared to the old rule it is a step backwards. The old rule had some character but the new rule just a dull training drill.

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination and what he believes he can achieve in any given game.”

Which confirms what we already know – most sport is played between the ears which determines success or failure. The intensity brought by the Tigers in the game against Port was much overdue and is a quality that can discussed with relative ease by the coaching staff.

It was an impressive win and the self-belief it should generate within the group and particularly with the younger players and those who had been out of form like Ellis is priceless.

Hopefully Neil can turn the season around, really struggling now.

Amazing, how some posters appear and disappear depending on our fortunes. Or not.

 

[Smoking Aces]

He would be thinking how much he prefers Cadbury Easter eggs over Lindt.

Very true L2R, especially the match day nuffies.

I've seen him wandering down Glenferrie Road with at least 3 pizza boxes a couple of times.

So I reckon he thinks about food a fair bit.

Only three, just a light snack then...

The wheels are falling off the Richmond 2019 season one by one and while it is difficult to accept, the club must and put into action a very real plan that at the very least secures some decent draft picks come the end of the season.

Bloody Balme stuffing up our early draft pick chances.

Perhaps we had just a few loose wheel nuts rather than wheels flying off?

I email Dimma every Wednesday with selections and coaching tips.

Does he respond?

Normally no.

But have a funny feeling he uses most of my ideas.
