Game day Tigers v Eagles

Good to get away with the win. The centre square and clearance work was really poor. Shorty and Ross aren't great centre square clearance players. You probably can't have both in there at the same time. Nic Nat schooled our rucks. A lot of the game we had to start from deep in our defence.

I hope they give Gibcus a spell. I don't think they are doing him any favours by playing him at the moment.

Vlaustin played his worst game ever. *smile* embarrassing from a senior player and likely to get a weeks holiday from the MRO
Castagna should never have been picked. Stuff u Dimma you clown. Every time he touched it he turned it over
Lambert is a stuffen liability. Can't bend over so why the hell is he playing?
Ross and Soldo are VFL level footballers.
Lynch got his arse handed to him. So disappointing.
When a fat prick like Nic Nat can dominate and Kelly picks up 40 touches u know something is wrong with the team

Pickett, Rioli x2, Broad, Grimes, Bolton, Shedda and McIntosh were good. The rest can get rooted.

Few handy players down in the midfield and Nic-Nat ripping us apart, not bad overall.

That's what I'm saying. He's a part-timer. It's all our part-timers' fault - well, not their fault because they're up against a superior midfield, but their failing. NicNat has been huge, and Shuey, Kelly, Redden, Gaff is pretty much their premiership midfield, with Kelly in for Sheed, and Yeo subbed off.

Bakes is a great little player, but he's a pinch-hit mid, that's all I'm pointing out.
Well if that's all your pointing out, I agree. Ross and Graham are not part-timers, at least given a chance to be full-timers. Nanks and especially Soldo were smashed. Dusty (2nd half), Cotch, Prestia out. That does highlight the issue, they're all over 30yo (well Prestia by start of next year), all more injury-prone. We need the next gen to stand up but it's hard to get excited as I don't see anyone of the above 3's class. Maybe Sonsie down the track. Think we'll need to trade in a quality midfielder or two.

We can afford to lose Short.
Now we have Rolli, Short and Ross in the middle was 1991 quality McKellar and Underwood quality.
We had 5 picks Kong use at least 1 to get a ready made mid
Collier Dawkins and Dow are delist material

did we win A tapout?
 
Our forward line is functioning well, but our defence is leaky. Must tighten up in the final third of the season.

Defence wins premierships.

Do people think Prestia will come straight back in and be the same.
Let's ask Michael Pickering.
Teams with strong midfields draft and trade in more midfielders.
This decision will cost us this year.
It cost us last week when Ross tool 3 hours to move to get Atkins

Don't blame the back 6
Blame Ross Short Baker that couldn't get there hands either on the ball or on the opposition
