smashed a side playing soft footy - great - beat Hawks and shouldva beat Freo playing hard pressured game - this team can adapt and knows how to play
Finals - hopefully in 4 weeks we will know the answer to that.
On that note, watching Thomas - even though he got plenty of ball and kicked a goal - it is a worry the suns made him look slow at times and I don't think he will be our answer against a finals opponent.

Yep. Stop gap measure. Hence why he is a (elevated) but rookie list player. Elevated when needs call for it. Did his job for that game. Gave Miles (and Cotch to an extent), a badly needed breather.
I'm confident better skilled, quicker players i.e. Sheds maybe Conca will come in when fit and ready.

Thanks RT... No I don't, but I'm pretty confident we can turn the switch back to defensive finals style grind when needed. TBF Dimma did say tackling effort was poor in the first half. If we did that I'm sure the winning margin would have been lower too though.
I'm a bit fiesty after all the negativity pregame particularly around the selections.
Well said Willo, nothing wrong with bringing in a battering ram for a few games while others are outwillo said:

Dimma wasn't happy with the lack of tackling, but as someone mentioned in an exchange with a journo on Twitter yesterday, it's hard to tackle a lot when you've got so much more of the ball than the opposition. A couple of nice tackles from us (Batch's sticks in my mind) netted us some good advantage too. They got some good ones, but weren't able to make us hurt from them. I like that the Tigers can adapt depending on the opposition, and they're showing all the sides of being a good side and doing what good sides do to bad ones.antman said:
