Game Day Tigers v Demons

If you had told me we'd be 14 points up at half time, I would've taken it. But I'm not convinced we can keep it up.

That Pickett effort was very disappointing.

Whatever happens this game is a keeper. Show the grand kids. Yes junior, the umps gave us a few frees one night back in 23.

P

Picketts been poor tonight imo, he and Bolton and Baker especially need to lift as does Dustin.
Yep we are getting little from the last 3. Dusty not impacting games this season. Hopefully he turns that around in second half.
 
Like our urgency. Must keep it up. A few players can lift would help - Baker, Pickett and Moz haven’t done much yet.

Its amazing what a difference centre clearances make! We have been smashed in there all season but finally tonight we are slightly better than break even. We can win this if we can continue to do the same. Rucks are doing ok. Hopper is our best mid at the moment (disposal better than the others) We need three goals from Bolton / Martyn combo.

2 goals up for all that effort. Not good enough
HT
38-52

We have played smarter this half. But a half to go.

We have a clear plan to not kick long as it falls into Melbournes hand with their talls.

The look at HT on the Melb players “ what the f**k just happened”

We got to continue our strategy as we know HT has come and Melb will adjust but we got to stick to this plan. That’s our chance to win this game.

Don’t bomb it long. Lower the eyes. Look for that shorter option. Switch play to unsettle Melbourne’s structure.

Samson & Miller have done ok so far and Samson has got a goal.

I wonder whether the rules ( constant tweaking ) of the bump has uncharacteristically has left Pickett in no man’s land as to how approach the contest.

Short has had a good half and been a good inclusion thus far.

Cumberland has shown his class.

Just like Melb can get better the second half, so do the Tigers.

I’m keeping things in perspective.

A promising first half of football.

Besides 1 goal, Mansell doesn't do enough. Should be subbed for Hugo.

What's going on with Marlion? Not attacking the ball like he usually does; especially in the air. Did a couple of good things but overall pretty ordinary in that half. Didn't like his game that half. Needs to lift.
Was thinking the exact same thing.

Is he injured?

I've never seen marlion play this timid.
 
For those thinking we threw away good picks for Tarranto & Hopper for one last tilt this year, throw in Bolton & that’s our midfield to base the team on in the years coming

Just needs to meet the ball at its highest point instead of waiting for it to come to him.

A couple of poor efforts from him.
