Game Day Tigers v Dockers

[dimmauchump]

What a waste of selection in Higgins. Give rcd or Martyn a shot. Might give us something. Midfield has been embarrassed by this hack team. They have stuck to a game plan and we can not counter it. If we lose this then last week was a waste of time and top 4 is done

 

[DragaTheCro]

Strange game. We are a bit flat for some reason. Need a big lift in the last, the mids need to do something.

 

[King Kong]

The worst qtr of footy since the last qtr against Gold Coast when Haunt kicked the goal after the siren Expect this to go the same way

Being embarrassed by a team of average players off a 4 day break.

 

[Rantnrave]

Replace Short with Richmond. Every entry into our forward line is like this. Not just Short.

..yep..they all do it...get possesion and bomb blindly toward goal....with not a single small or resting mid anywhere near the fall of the ball..

 

[BrisTiger24]

Bad bad bad game for AArts

We can't buy a HTB (despite them dropping it) and they get them at will.

 

[bigwow]

Frees 6 zip that quarter.

 

[jackfrost]

Playing like a team of lazy bigheads that have got ahead of themselves. Playing like this contest is beneath them.

My thoughts exactly ................ had already written this one down as a "W" and looking ahead to Geelong next week.

The classic recipe for a disasterous loss out of nowhere if they don't lift their game this quarter.

 

[daniel30]

Got to steady playing dumb footy into there hands simple as that hit our targets not just put on the boot.Need a rocket slack and lazy at times teams always bring us to there level.Need to lift.

 

[year of the tiger]

Well it’s not going to happen unless they pull a finger out - come on tigers, one decent qtr will do it.

 

[Butch67]

We were 5-0 up in free kicks now 8-15 down, dont need that on top of our poor decision making

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Martin is disinterested. He has had a good last few weeks but he just doesn't chase.
Rioli and Castagna, these guys just aren't having any impact. Rioli has had a terrible year.
If we don't win this, we won't finish top 4.

 

[dimmauchump]

Cotchin been horrible last couple of weeks. If he doesn't want to be in the bubble then go home. Martin WOG

 

[waiting]

Let others dissect that quarter and game thus far.

Too angry. My fear about this game is unfolding before our eyes.

They need an absolute spray from Hardwick.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

They look to be on cruise control.

 

[Ridley]

Geez we have played some rubbish football this year. It's a miracle we're still in contention given the quality of football we've played in the majority of games. Very very hard to watch.

 

[Berwick boy]

FFS Hardwick u absolute dud

You need to not post during the game mate...we generally end up winning most of the games you go ape *smile* over and just end up looking stupid. I get it’s emotional as I carry on at home as well but wait till the end...it’s a 4 qtr game.

 

[mrposhman]

We were 5 frees to 1 up, now 8 to 15...lol...what a joke.

Some of the inconsistency in umpiring was very clear that quarter, HTB towards the end. Dusty tackles after opponent had prior, drops the ball play on, Aarts picks it up, tackled immediately I think by the ruckman (good luck breaking that), HTB paid for not showing some *smile* attempt to dispose. How about the dropping of the ball? There have been a fair few throws too.

How can we go from 5-1 up in the frees, to win only 3 of the next 16 frees??

 

[Tigers2011]

Can’t win games if you don’t come to play & play with intensity at the contest. If players were sore or fatigued, they shouldn’t have played. Effort costs nothing & back half has carried the team so far. Need lift from every player in the last quarter, especially midfield. Play one on one, shoulder to shoulder to start.

 

[tigermike]

graham....another mindless bomb to two on one...no lowering the eyes..just a blind madening blast to an outnumbered lynch.......and yep...freo run it out again,,,ffs lower the eyes

But who's leading up to demand the pass? Freo are doing it very well, why not us?

 

[22nd Man]

May as well bench the two rucks.
