GAME DAY SEMI THREAD - Tiger vs Saints

[Ridley]

General play, saints are all over us

Yeah we dropped off big time that quarter. But pretty typical of how we've played all year. Get a good lead then go to sleep. It's a real worry; we just can't put sides away.

Geez I hope we can lift in this last quarter. We really need to.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Saints have scored 31 out of their 41 points from forward half intercepts.
Our defensive rebounding has been terrible.

Saints player also kicked it off the ground after mark paid, no 50?

Twice.
In the 2nd qtr Billings kicked the ball after the whistle

 

[mrposhman]

Watched him closely that quarter. Not sure that he provides a lot more that the touches he gets. Id drop him for Caddy in a heart beat

Does his off the ball work outweigh the poor disposal. Interesting to hear your view from the ground, we hear ezy's but seems he's in some sort of love affair with Marlion.

 

[bairdy380]

We need 2 good clean centre clearance to put this away

 

[Birdman19]

Markov would have been useful tonight

 

[Ridley]

Adelaide much drier, should see us sharper.

We were sharp for most of the first quarter but we've dropped right off.

Gotta get to Adelaide first Lee. Really didn't like what I saw that quarter.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Prestia building that qt.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Saints are pressing right up, chance to get a couple of cheap ones over the back. Bang, bang, put it to bed.

 

[bigwow]

Apparently 23 points, is near enough if the Saints are good enough, according to JB. 21 was too far last week.

Ive been saying that all night the kicking from half back has been horrible, same ass the forward 50 entries.

 

[Tenacious Tiges]

How could anyone tell if that was or wasn’t touched? Great work AFL if that’s the best image you can come up with.

Compare that crap vision to the cricket or tennis and you ask why can’t this billion dollar business fund proper super slo-mo. Amateurish at best, flawed leadership, definitely. Gill needs the cash for the Grange.

 

[caspar]

Cotchin sloppy. Poor.

 

[Berwick boy]

Relax...just need the win. Doesn’t really matter by how much because it all starts again next week under different conditions.

 

[zippadeee]

Markov would have been useful tonight

Run and carry. Agree.
We Look pedestrian coming out of back 50.

 

[Birdman19]

Our game to lose now. They will bring the heat

I don’t like some of it but the Saints aren’t a good last quarter team. We responded late, should have this covered.

 

[Ridley]

Our defensive rebounding has been terrible.

Yeah our backline is our rock. When they are as unstable as they have been tonight it's disturbing.

 

[Butch67]

50s not being paid, cant blow the whistle quick enough when we're tackled and how the pull a trip from st bloke dropping the ball fmd

 

[Tigers2011]

Only way to stop run is massive pressure around the ball & we dropped away that quarter. Rebound out of our forward line is terrible, especially when Dusty rests forward.
