GAME DAY – R14 Tiges v Blues

[CarnTheTiges]

He is literally the biggest b!tch in the AFL.

That’s a big field, spook.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Tarrant owning him again

Tarrant is good on those talls we used to get reamed against

 

[Mycotchinrules]

We don’t tag.

I reckon Graham tagged Walsh that quarter. Did ok too

 

[Dev Tiger]

They are starting to overun us. Our ageing midfield is in trouble I think.

 

[Batchelor Party]

Interesting having Ralpsmith up forward, doesn't strike me as a great reader of the ball off hands.

 

[graystar1]

Hurrah.

For once we get one late in a qtr

Hip hip hooray!!
For once in a blue moon we have finally kicked a score....read goal...in the dying seconds.
Wonders will never cease

 

[Isotopes]

Ha, was that Channel 7 playing Joy Division in the back?
Lol

 

[spook]

38 inside 50s in a half. That's a lot.

 

[jackfrost]

How can you say that slide wasn't a free to Balta? That's what it was brought in for, he could have broken Noah's leg. Keep your damn feet.

Nah, cant agree Spook.

I'm of the belief the rule was bought in to protect the guy "over the ball on his feet" from being taken out by a player who has chosen to leave his feet and slide imto the contest, thus risking the ball players legs.

Balta wasnt near that ball and the Carlton player had possession and his momentum on the wet ground was what took him a standing Balta, no way thats what the rule was implemented to stop.

If it was, as soon as a player goes to ground, just run in and "fall over him", is that what we want our game to turn into, a la soccer players feigning tackles that never even go close to contact ? I would hate to think so, far to much acting in the game as is.

 

[MD Jazz]

We're playing better wet weather footy overall. Cripps is killing us with his creative play. What the hell is going on with Short. 11 disposals, 8 turnovers.

This is where metres gained is a crock of *smile*. 552m gained for a half appears amazing.

 

[AngryAnt]

curious game tonight on a number of levels

cryptic and mysterious, I like it

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Interesting having Ralpsmith up forward, doesn't strike me as a great reader of the ball off hands.

He is a massive panic merchant

 

[angle ankle]

Gibcus good recovery from last week. Impressive spoiling

never in doubt

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

We need to kick the 1st in this qtr to bend them over.

 

[spook]

That’s a big field, spook.

There's 204cm and 105 kegs of him, Carn. That's a lot of b!tch.

 

[tigermouseau]

Premiership quarter - let’s just put the clamps on Walsh and Cripps and that’ll go a long way to winning.

 

[The Big Richo]

Nice first half, the surge is back.

Need to pray to whatever God floats your boat for Prestia to be healthy all season. Is the key to a premiership.

 

[craig]

38 inside 50s in a half. That's a lot.

Ralphy needs to lift or he will be the one making way at this stage for George and or Moju next week.

Jud needs to get his hands on it, more as well as he is a good user.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Nice first half, the surge is back.

Need to pray to whatever God floats your boat for Prestia to be healthy all season. Is the key to a premiership.

Yeah, every time he got involved we got on top.

You're wrong.
