GAME DAY Tigers V Bombers Dreamtime

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Finally we get some free kicks inside 50. Where have they been all year?

Reckon Lynch would be yelling at the TV.

 

[bdr]

Midfield disappeared in last 5-10 mins...Essendon were allowed to link up too easily.

 

[Baloo]

richmondy Essendon kids have been brave

 

[graystar1]

Long time since I saw our players kicking to the oppo so often.
Can someone tell me why we always seem to concede a score in the last 2 or 3 minutes of a quarter?

 

[Ridley]

Has been all year. Grimes and Vlastuin nowhere near their best form. Houli too.

Vlastuin a real worry. 4 disposals. Looks to be really struggling to have an impact on games. Maybe related to his concussions?

 

[bairdy380]

A lot of slipping over for both sides I noted

 

[graystar1]

Shut up BT. Shut up JB.

Do what I do and mute the sound.

Half way through the 2Q bumbers got on top.
Kicking has been poop
Kicking into forward 50 has been sloppy poop.
Dusty and Shai gone MIA in the second

 

[TigerForce]

Grimes hasn't been the same since his delayed concussion. Flossy has lost his cool poise. Short won't win the JDM this year. Houli gets a lot of it. Balta is hit and miss. Broad and Baker holding it together

I reckon he hasn't been right all season. Looks tired.

 

[Ridley]

Where was Shai playing? Barely saw him.

Very quiet and fumbly. Hopefully lights it up after half time.

 

[tommystigers]

He has a cow on there. Why?

I thought it was a dog or a pig, Mambo style.

sorry to be a stick in the mud but it’s Cognitive bias where you remember when it happens but not when it doesn’t. We got one with under a minute in the first quarter.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Where was Shai playing? Barely saw him.

Good in the 1st.

 

[AstuteTiger]

We should be further in front. Have dominated much of the first half.
The Ball movement has been good. Not really bombing and looking to hit up targets.

 

[btoz_01]

Everytime Pickett goes in the ruck they seem to score a goal

 

[Tenacious]

Do what I do and mute the sound.

same here - its blissful

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

We had the ball in our F50 for most of the first quarter yet they now have more I50s. Time in possession 2nd quarter 38-48%. Worrying trends?

 

[dimmauchump]

Still playing like a 6th to 11th placed side. Not playing Top 4 footy. Backline just looks tired. Going through the motions. Concerning

 

[Berwick boy]

Would love a 4 qtr effort.
Hopefully thats gf day.
Hard these days but jeez I would love to towel them up.

Unfortunately it’s very, very rare sides dominate for four quarters. Win 3 and it’s yours.

Possibly. They did the same to Eagles last week. But we’ve just gotta be smarter with the ball. Reckon our mistakes have kept them in it.
