How could you drop Ross and keep Sonsie?? Sonsie didn’t even try and was shirking contests all over.

Exactly, No way Sonsie keeps his place this week. Its a tough one for him, he was asked to play a role that doesn't suit him, but then didn't appear to try hard to make it work. The bad thing for Sonsie is there is no VFL game this week, so its very unlikely he will play AFL the week after either, having been the carryover last week, subbed out this week, and probably won't play a game this week. 3 quarters of a game in 3 weeks for him, is going to be hard to pick him at AFL level.

Yea,I wonder what Dimma was talking about trying new things?Maybe umbrellas...........

Let’s see how hard the eagles try and lose this game.
they know what they are doing…

The more they try and lose it, the more likely we are to lose. We’ve become expert at losing to a team that is playing crap. Witness the loss to Gold Coast last week.

Biggest Car Crash Match for the season so far coming up.

The winner gets nothing, the loser gets the blowtorch.

Melbourne footy medias are no doubt hoping the Tigers lose as that will be material to last for week upon week till the seasons end.

For awful games, yesterday would be hard to top, but this will give it a run for its money.

It's going to be so bad I've decided to watch the Kyneton Tigers instead!!!

I’m heading down to Barwon Heads v Ocean Grove, Battle of the Bridge. 12 deg and rain forecast, looking forward to it.

 

[craig]

I might just go to Kwee Lan and stay there for 5 years until the Maggotwood Circle Jerk has stopped.

 

[Tigaman]

Just got to hang in there & take the good with the bad. Away from the Dump so more room to move for next two games. In Graham if fit rest Cotch.

Easy does it!

I'd push Young to the forward line.
Baker down back
Balta back all game
Soldo and Ryan to ruck
Miller to be sent back to WA
Dow comes in for Cotch
Sonsie stays and plays the receiver role around the stoppages
Prestia back in only if he is not feeling anything. Pointless to come back in if he is hampered with an injury
One of Pickett or Kmac need a spell. Doing the hard running but counterproductive with their disposal which usually results in a turnover. We can no longer cover for that. Bring in Banks or Ralphsmith(only as a winger. NOWHERE NEAR THE BACKLINE)
Ross can go back to the 2s as well.

Give Steely Green a crack as the sub

Are you saying Ralphsmith's disposal is as good or better than Pickett or K Mac. He is a poor user of the ball.

That;s exactly why we need to give the younger players games.
Don't waste getting games into them due to a bye or because their form is crappola.
Play them as long as they show something and Sonz has apart from last week.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Out: Cotchin, Sonsie, Clarke
In: Prestia, Graham, Dow (sub)

Its all right for you guys as there are alternative games to see locally. Me, I will have to wake up for a 04:45 ball up in UK for another potentially disappointing and clueless Tigers performance. The trouble I know I will do it instead of turning over and watching the replay later.

 

[artball]

I'm really looking forward to this game it's going to be a cracker

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

I saw Biggie yesterday not sure I would be playing any kid that dosent like contact.
It will be wet and slippery.
Clark is definitely out then.
Sony is out to because he copped a mouth full just before he was subbed out and he was nearly in tears.
I felt sorry for him.
I wouldve subbed out 10 players who were worse then Sony

 

[No 4]

Hang tight. Yes it's a disappointing result last week and so far this season. We are in transition, losing top players in the first 2 to 3 games never helps, lost some confidence. But we have this week and the weeks to come to turn our performance around, get games into some youngsters, farewell a couple of our beloved players.
