Game Day Tigers V Giants

We got beaten by a better team, fact.

Our players and playing style are a long way off premiership contenders at the moment, fact.

We dominated the hit outs but they won the clearances, fact

We dominated the inside 50s yet they scored more goals, fact

We are no where near our 2019 premiership best because the next generation of players are not as good as the 7 players we had out tonight and some of our premiership players are not showing the passion and enthusiasm for the game they once had, particularly in our forward line.

Accept it, right now we are a middle of the table team, fact!

HTB - why? Each decision was ridiculous. The one they should have paid they didn’t.

Pissed that game away.

Forward line is completely dysfunctional.

Don't care what anyone says but Riewoldt is absolutely done. Live him but he should not be playing. Lynch also should not be playing with a broken hand. Is providing absolutely nothing. While our inside 50 entries are terrible, those 2 just don't look like they can take a mark. Why aren't we at least trying isolate them in the fwd 50. Seems eveytime we go in there are 500 players in there. Leave Lynch in the goal square one out with a small at his feet. Then once the ball is in flood the 50.

8 premiership players out & we get beaten by 2 goals.
Giants aren't that flash, we're not that bad.

Might well have mortally wounded our season with this one tonight alongside the Collingwood debacle.

It’s a bit hard when the coach lets the opposition have 3 guys hanging off you and it’s just bombed in on your head

Should have added 4-5 goals in the second quarter.
Best we could do was 1

epic fail

Reiwoldt has been a champ but not a leader. Is he injured?
 
You just would like to see desperation from the young guys. Naish and Egg are soft outside players. Be surprised if Naish gets another game

They just couldn’t stand up in the clinches and get the ball cleanly to teammates like a Caddy or Cotchin would. Was a bit disappointed in Higgo’s lack of cleanliness tonight also. Chol’s low possession count stands out in games like that. Never had the space to use the boot.

Fact.
What you on about Willis?
We did not win, we had more shots, we dominated the ball, our kids are ok. Fact.
No flags won in July, in the history of the world. Fact.
Tigers are young again, don't give up.

this year is the year to blood kids.
Hice
He is a gun.
Great player
DTLD and Bachar play, that means Grimes gets The Zagames eye gouger. That happens he gets 5 possessions, not 5 goals.

Said McQualter needs to go 6 weeks ago. Fancy sending Balme on leave without pay to keep this genius
Reckon there might be something in this. He's the forward line coach and I can't recall seeing a more dysfunctional forward line for a very long time. It is a shambles.

Kelly. Whitfield and Coniglio tore us to bits - totally dominated by three players and letting Green kick 5 was pretty poor for such a good defence we r supposed to have
