Game day Tigers v Bombers.....the headless chooks

They are all over the place out running us all over the joint luckily they are running emselves out of position at times.

They are killing us in the middle clearance after clearance, reminiscent of that Rnd 1 Carlton game.

Umpires are goping in dry on us and our players are making their usual stupid decisions.

And yet still 3 goals up.

Should be 5 up at the least

I thought that too, but Darce said he willed himself into the contest.
It’s the same with forward contests. Jack pushes his opponent in the SIDE and Duck screams that it’s a free. Goes down the other end one of them does it, and there’s crickets.

If the past games are anything to go by, we’ll blow them away in the 3rd
 
Gibcus not best 25. A liability at this stage. Hasn't been the same since Dimma crucified him with Buddy

There is zero centre craft. Have a look at our positioning at the bounce.

We just have three guys minding their opponents at the drop.

The only players actually moving are Essendon players.

Meanwhile Nank is getting killed.

There is nothing dynamic about our centre setup and it’s killing us.

What is our midfield coach paid for?

Offensively ok but defensively poor. Biggest issue though is clearance, especially centre clearance yet again.

That’s Essendon’s strength & we’ve been terrible. Has to be addressed before next season. We just give up too much score -
it’ll be why we won’t progress in the finals.

Shai Bolton been quiet
Yes he has.
Don't know if there is something wrong with him or whether he is being tagged out of the game.
All in all a pretty lack luster half of footy by the Tigers.
Not what I expected.
Hardly been finals type footy to date.
Then again, we only need to do what we need to do and not get any injuries.
