Game Day Tigers v Demons

Picking Brown instead of Van Hooganband is as bad as fiora over Pavlich
Staggering considering our lack of key forwards let alone young ones developing
Prestia, Martin and Cotch are done. Add Vloss and Nank to that list.
Ralphsmith, Miller, Mansell are nowhere near it.
The other young boys are 2-3 years away.

Also those saying we got Hopper and Taranto to lead the midfield for the next 7 years so we dont bottom out are full of it. We got them because we thought we were a chance this year! Dont get me wrong they have been great and without them we are in none of these games but I think they overrated our list. Now we will be left with no picks and a massive hole in our list makeup. Think we are headed back to the *smile* old days
So we have given out 7 year deals for one last tilt ?

Yes we probably thought they could help us try & win a flag this year but they were mainly brought in so when Cotchin & co retire the cupboard isn’t completely bare

Yep, MR Jr has a done Hammy, was pretty obvious it wasn't a cramp as the imbeciles in commentary were saying, really liked his pressure acts tonight, another blow we now have to overcome. :confused:
 
The key to the game was to stop Gawn/Grundy feeding you know who. Miller & Ryan did that yet 3/4 time his nibs drags Miller with sub Ralphsmith. After that goodnight Tigers. Ralphsmith sub first time to drive Tigers forward hits a Dee with a uncontested kick. How Maurice & Ralphsmith get selected in front of Sonsie Ross etc etc is beyond me. Kick straight after half time Dees would not be smiling.

We drafted a half back flanker over a full forward.
That has all the attributes.
Strong hands.
Takes contested marks.
Not scared.
And kicks unbelievably well.
Fken recruiters need to *smile* off. I'm fken angry.
The average jo could see this kid had all the things to be a quality footballer.

Yep. Dimma really showing his lack of match day smarts. Has always been a terrible match day coach. Had some brilliant assistants that were huge in that area. Now they've all gone. Great at team bonding and setting the culture and motivating.
What a load of *smile* *smile* . Didn’t you watch the 2020 grand final as an example?

I usually don’t post after a loss but when people post *smile* like that it just grinds my gears

The man is a triple premiership coach and you reckon he is a terrible match day coach ? Laughable .

That's it for finals. The season never got off the ground. The hopes were high but it has been really poor from the practice matches till now.

The effort was better but we are only play in fits and spurts now. Only three goals in the second half.

Unfortunately our kids drafted under Matt Clarke aren't that special as a group. Brown over JVR was a poor selection at the time and will hurt for years to come. He will be a special player.

Sampson was better tonight. We just need to keep looking at the young players. I think for all his effort Mansell just isn't an AFL player.

I think another hammy went late with MJ.
