Game Day Tigers v Dockers
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I've realised who he reminds me of. Leo from That 70's Show. Sounds like he had way too many doobies whilst at uni.
I simply cannot see why Longmuir coached the way he did tonight. Yeah, he kept it close for 3 qtrs, but the Dockers never looked like winning it really. What did his younger players learn from that?
They go in with a tall forward line which suggest they want to try and stretch us and kick a winning score, then do nothing to try and get the ball going forward in a positive way, instead flooding. No wonder guys like McCarthy and Hogan appear to struggle mentally. The Dockers game plan tonight offered no confidence in their forward line.
Then they complain all lead up to the game about Fyfe not getting a fair go, but when he doesn't get a hard tag, they are more interested in just hanging off the defensive side of the ball.
Freo won most of the key stat categories. We only won the Inside 50s 43-38. If the Dockers had shown just a little more attacking intent, they could have made a real game of this.
The final indictment. The Dockers did not lead this game for one second. They were level with us for the first 4 minutes 51 seconds, until Graham's opening score.

Sconies I tip my hat to ya...... about three weeks ago I followed your advice! Been loving myself sick with Kayo. None more so as the lads notch another win in the quest for back to back. All aboard...... toot toot!
"Heyyyy Steve, check out the guy in the Sombreooooo" ....................... one of the Greats was Harry !!!
Hardwick has just mentioned in the Presser that he expects Astbury to be back in maybe 2 weeks, good news.
Gee Serong looks a likely type. Hadn't seen much of him until tonight, but though he showed plenty.
That's the way Freo play though, they've shored up their defence but have no quality forward line. That's why they're sitting on just 5 wins having beaten Adelaide, Sydney, Hawks, Saints (by 1 goal) and Collingwood (by 2 goals) when they were maxxed out injury wise. Commentators after the game were banging on about how they had 9 players who had played less than 55 games. Well Tigers had 10 who have played less than 50. The two teams are chalk and cheese. Without Fyfe (30yo) and Mundy (35yo) they're nothing atm.
Will be a gun. If they can keep him, Brayshaw and Cerra together they have a midfield group there for the next 10 years.
Correct, theres a reason they are ranked with the 6th lowest points against (and have played one more game than 3 above them), but can't win games. I think they are on the right path but need to figure out their forward ball movement and tall forwards. I was surprised to see Taberner will be 28 at the start of next year. They will aim to bring that young tall WA forward in in the draft (can't think of his name right now). Their list rebuild is going the right way but they were always going to try and strangle us, its just what they do.
If Collingwood beat Brisbane on Friday night we finish the round in second spot 
will probably lose that by Sunday though
