Game Day - rnd 16 vs Brions at the Gabba 2023

[Tigers of Old]

Thank goodness that's over.

Take the mulligan. They're good.

On to next week.

 

[UKTiger]

We cannot continue with underperformers as tonight showed

 

[DragaTheCro]

How does this effect our top 4 chances?

We might miss out on percentage.

 

[Rod]

Was nice to forget how it feels to be humiliated for a few years

First time in about 6 1/2 years….

 

[mexican_radio]

It doesn’t in any way end the season… we will be 9-8-1 in 3 weeks.

You think we can beat the swans?

 

[Rfc4Ever]

You mean oh wait as in here is our Brownlow medallist or would you prefer an untried 18 year old?

We are on the right track.
Tonight was a blip and not surprising considering the emotional fallout over the last couple of months.

I meant no, we don't have a 1st round draft pick lol

 

[tigerlove]

We are supposed to be good for mids but on tonight's view that is wrong as well

Brisbane shut Taranto down. Hopper back from a bit of a layoff. Don't have any young depth beyond that.

 

[angle ankle]

Retire Cotch and Riewoldt this week and bone McQualter, Ross, Ralphshit, Miller and Kmac

there is zero point in cotch & jack playing another game

 

[year of the tiger]

If we bring the intensity across the ground that we have produced since Mini took over and that Geelong game, we have to believe we are a chance in every game.

We travel well as a team - the GWS, Dockers and Crows games prove that.

I reckon the team that is more accurate in front of the sticks and takes their chances wins it tonight - that favours the lions as their forward line looks much stronger on paper, which is why every tipster is backing them to win, but their forwards can be a bit flakey and I think our defence is our secret weapon and clearly our strength.

We play the Gabba exceptionally well so I don’t think their home ground advantage gives them that much more of an advantage - a little but not a lot.

The lions clearly deserve to be favourites - look where the 2 teams are on the ladder - but I think the tigers will be more competitive than people expect - tigers by 13 (well more hopeful than confident really)

Cotch will tear it up next week at the ‘G.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Hardwick goes. Pickett situation. Cotch 300. Its been a big big month or so. Not really surprising in hindsight this performance came along.

 

[RUNVS]

Mistake not playing MRJ imo.

 

[year of the tiger]

First time in about 6 1/2 years….

since Swans Rd 23 in 2016………………….before the golden era.

Sad isn't it? On tonights performance (both) and Jack the last two / three games both need a break from playing

 

[btoz_01]

Mistake not playing MRJ imo.

He’s playing in the VFL hopefully he finds some ball

 

[Tigers2011]

Can’t ignore the lessons from tonight. Midfield horrendous & it all fell apart from there.

It’s been a long time since so many decent players all had shockers. Just didn’t come to play.

However in elite sport to be the best, there can’t be that big a difference between your best & worst. Must understand why tonight happened & what to do differently next time.

 

[daniel30]

I'm not sure we're the thought of finals has come from from club and fans we we're never in the mix this year won 3 against average sides with Mini.This year is all about development and getting games into our kids nothing more that should be our focus mindset needs to change

 

[TigerForce]

8 games left and we still have to go interstate 2 more times. AFL *smile* US UP!!!

 

[Ridley]

Unlucky? Just take it through

Yeah it's not that hard.

 

[tigerlove]

Don't know about that. Swans smashed us earlier in the year. Hawks beat Brisbane 2 games ago and are playing much better now. We need to win 7 of last 8 to realistically make it. If Blues beat Hawks even they'll be above us now on percentage.
