Game Day-Scratch match Tiges v Norf
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
I like Hopper. He'll be good this year.
I don't think people have clued on to how good Ross can be.
Tom basically making a disaster out of an easy shot which lead to the ARC involvement.
Then no bastard punching the ball through for a behind .........even worse.
Tigers killed themselves last year with brainless dumb footy and poor conversion at times which wouldve killed off opponents allowing them back in.
Did my head in last year it was as frustrating as I can remember.

So it seems we were not actually murdered by the umpires after all ... for what it is worth having a tough run with the umpires never stopped us winning 3 premierships.
Pre season games are to look for positives, for improvement, for encouraging signs. Players are played out of position to test them, they may get far fewer opportunities that usual, worry less about what they got wrong on what was their first hit out against another team.
While the result is not particularly important it should be noted that there is an obvious improvement ... we beat North by 2 points, last time we met they beat us by 4 points ^^ thats a one goal improvement ^^

The club has gone *smile* the ARC process, *smile* umpires & *smile* the AFL this year. Take destiny into your own hands.
Early days sure but I think we have the redemption edge again. I'm excited.

Don’t disagree when any of that but it doesn’t change the fact that it was a goal
Watched again, first viewing confirmed, very, very underwhelming.
Watched the replay, some of the kids are exciting!
Just on Dennis... Hes a gun who hasnt played in basically 12 months... Will take time to ease into season, does a power of hard word that isnt always seen. TT will most likely get the media attention and Hop will probably go under the radar as many others have over the years.
My only concern as was with Dion 6 years ago is injuries (read the early Dion thread, its hilarious with many saying hes a dud and a midget etc), if he can put a few years in without injuries i seriously doubt anyone on this forum will question his value.

Nah. Everyone already knows what Narkle brings n it's just another medium sized average player. Bradtke's one that'll be worth looking at properly after he's done a full season at VFL level and another pre season. Might have nothin, might have plenty but it'll take a whole year just to get him up to the level of a professional footballer.
Pretty sure that was the reason we went and bought a couple of midfielders over summer. Wasn't so much the ruck man that was the problem.
Agree with a fair portion of your thoughts. However really harsh on a few players. Writing off Bradtke after 2 qtrs is a bit extreme. Horrendous conditions for a key forward, plus he’s raw and this year is all about development. So maybe just give him a smidge longer then 2 qtrs until you demand his delisting.
Also, not sure what game you were watching but Mansell was decent. You may not rate him but have to give credit where credits due.
Lastly, way to harsh on Ross. I implore you to watch the elimination final again, not to mention several games leading up to that. He was in our 3 best players and showed he belongs at the level.
Yeah, writing a guy off who’s come from country footy after 2 quarters of a scratch match is unfair. And I too like Mansell game.
Also Bradtke lined up against Aiden Corr who has played 100 AFL games. Wasn’t like he was up against some random kid. Give him time
Hoping to see the Cummerbund in action from round one. Pressure, intensity, creativity, stuff just always seems to happen whenever the ball is in his vicinity. Got pinged late in the game for that run down tackle on their fifty metre arc, but geez it was a blistering chase.
