Can't be we played them in the final last year.
The numbers don't add up.
Its like David king just said we have a 8 game winning streak.
Its 15 games boofhead.
Neither actually. The stat was 15 H&A games because obviously finals games don't matter!! They lost 2 of them in QLD last season.
And Collingwood slapped them there.
Maybe that's what the old codger tells them because he can't remember that far back.
2 finals shouldn't count.
They shouldve not been in there in the first place.
That's what happens when your given a bottom 6 draw.
They haven't got a good team.
They only have Andrews, Neale, Zorko, Cameron and Raynor.
The rest are potato farmers.
Seriously if we cant beat them, then this year is a waste.
I hate them.
@BrisTiger24 or @eZyT. ... point of interest. .. as our home game do we control the carve up of the ticketing, as miniscule as it is?
He is going ok, and won't be dropped, but he is still weak in contests at times. I don't mean he pulls out, he just ain't great 1-1.
It will be interesting what happens with or back line if all are ever available.
Grimes, Astbury and Vlastuin are absolute certainties.
Broad and Houli should be.
That leaves Balta, Baker and Short. All of whom should also be definites.
8 doesn't go into 7.
Still that's the only game they've dropped in the last 8. I wouldn't be under-estimating them.
I had Shorty in my bests this week. We all know his hardness isn't his strength and that's not why he's in the side.
Better off dropping McIntosh and playing one of them in his spot.
No, we play them in the final 4 rounds which haven't yet been announced.
Short, Grimes, Broad, Flossy, Dave and Houli have, for the last three years been selected every time they're fit.
Short is an absolute certainty as much as any of them are.
He plays a different role, and is elite at it. Clearly our best running defender. Probably our most consistent player this year, even when everyone else was poor.
This year he is statistically the best player in the squad, including midfielders, in terms of all of getting the ball, using the ball, and covering distance with the ball. He has also gathered the most contested possessions of any of our defenders.
There is a zero percent chance he is replaced outside of management or injuries.
FWIW 8 into 7 does go when you have players with versatility and a bench.
I'd play Baker in the midfield, and he played forward in the VFL for a year. Balta just fits into the defensive rotations.
Houli may find it hard considering lack of match fitness and age, but was playing beautifully earlier in the year.
Freo and Crows are the only 2 of the current bottom 8 we haven't played yet. 8 rounds to go we still play the current 1st, 2nd, (wer're 3rd), 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 16th, 18th. We'll need to contnue the form we showed against Bulldogs as the season ladder is extremely close.
Not sure if we will see it with our injuries, but Dustin seems to spend a fair bit of game time playing forward against Brisbane, not sure if they have identified something, but 2 of the last 3 games against them he has kicked 6
V North (home) there was 5000 tigers and 10 north fans
V Dogs (away) theres was 4000 tigers and 500 dogs.
the only difference I can acertain is this complete *smile* head announcer says 'make some nooooiiiiiissssseeeee (home team)' after a goal.
hes on the Metricon payroll ive heard him before.
hes dreadful. appealing to tigers fans to make noise after a goal
is pretty much like urging Nathan Buckley to copy Damien Hardwick at a press conference.
I cant fault RFC and ticketteck so far. got front row seat the last 2 at Metricon and same seats next tues (nom idea whose home game it is)
but rest assured,
the tiger army reserve northern battalion are holding the line.
its great.
it truly honours the Melbourne hardcore and the club,
