Great courage to fight back. Poor decision making in the last cost us. Pathetic umpiring a factor but the game was ours to win.
We needed old Dustin and old Jack.

can't have that on Pickett. would have lost by 5 goals without him.So many poor decisions and skill errors, no doubt due to extreme fatigue after busting a boiler to get back in the game.
Riewoldt could have hand balled to Rioli instead of trying to sell the candy; Pickett twice tried to thread the needle into forward 50 when that’s not his skill set and there was too much congestion anyway so should have just taken the shot at goal; Rioli’s disposal to no one etc. And all at critical moments.
The boys must be gutted.
yep, take it out of the umpires hands, we lost it in the first quarter. I was really impressed with our performance after that dog act on Prestia. We smashed them for most of the second half but I'd say losing a small for a tall early in the game was the difference. I just don't know who was on Stengle, he gave them a lot, I guess that's our game plan, run forward hard, run back hard and Stengle is a smart player. Geelong and Swans, what could have been. Could drop to 9th possibly 10th by the end of the round.Umpires were woeful, but we lost it ourselves.
Correct Posh.
They scored a goal when we were a man down being helped by trainers.
Game SHOULD HAVE STOPPED.
Scott P*ss off.
Umpires. They can influence the outcome of games. We got unrewarded yet they got frees in their half of the ground.
Gutted. Really am. Dislike the Cats.
Next week becomes a really important game. I hoping this and the Swan’s game doesn’t derail our season.
Last quarter fade-outs and not just getting that extra goal could mean the difference to making top 4.
Stewart. No need to say anything. Over to you MRO & AFL.
We won the free kick count for the last 3 but today umps were at their devastating best. Order restored.At the End of the day I’d say if we make finals there is no reason we can’t win the whole thing again.
I never believe umpires cheat , however it is a farce , that is right a F A R C E , how can we lost the free kicks every week and today we get doubled , for me it’s making the modern game even more frustrating, how the hell can we lose so many 50/50s .
Our games rules are embarrassing a once great game
Not saying he didn’t stand up; had a couple of important moments in the last Qtr where he could have made a smarter decision with the ball heading into forward 50can't have that on Pickett. would have lost by 5 goals without him.
I don't buy the game in our keeping thing. We were out on our feet, rolling the dice and hoping for the best. A lot had to go right, and not everything did.Have to be proud of the boys, to fight back under such adversity was a great effort.
Unfortunately we have again lost a game that was ours for the keeping though.
Frustrating.
And the lack of oxygen in the blood impacted decision making in the last. Dan was almost hallucinatingGreat effort tigers. Ran out of legs. Once again playing against 3 additional players - umpires. Who is number 12
The problem is that we have old Dustin and old Jack. In their prime they would have taken the game apart.Great courage to fight back. Poor decision making in the last cost us. Pathetic umpiring a factor but the game was ours to win.

Excellent players can have critical moments that are costly.. I called out Vlas two goals conceded from HTb when he had plenty of time to dispose. Stopped a few too.can't have that on Pickett. would have lost by 5 goals without him.
Maybe the Tigers will have the pleasure of ending them for a 4th time.Can't wait to see the Dees tear that mob of mercenaries a new one in the finals
