Game Day Tigers v Suns

I don’t wanna just get the 4 pts tonight.

We need to click and do it soon.

Cotch rested last week for what amounted to a hiding to nothing game against the front runner of the comp.

We battled gamely, not much was lost.

But with 8 days break and a handful of games to go, this is click night. Has to be.

I nearly jumped the fence at Metricon after that deliberate OoB free a couple of weeks ago. He should be safe tonight, Ticketmaster have placed me in the nosebleeds.

Beautiful day up here today. Perfect conditions.

I've got a feeling we might be served up a Dusty special tonight. 20+ touches and 4 goals.

We just need to be careful about a quick start to them after an extended break for us. Not sure what the close losses and then the draw will do to their psyche but they must be feeling pretty flimsy at the moment.

reminds me what I done about 10 years ago at a tiger match in Sydney. I was so pissed off I made my way to The section where they walk off. I ripped my undies off, didn’t take them off, I ripped them off.

Beer In the left hand, my right hand reached into my jeans and I ripped my undies out and threw them at the umpires coming off.
I’ve never seen people clear out of my way so quickly.

Undies landed on a security guy. Who literally shat himself once he worked out what fell on his shoulder.

:mhihi

Good one, you showed a lot of front...why haven't I ever thought of doing that.
 
I will get Martin to play 70-30 forward tonight. They have no match up for him.

Cotchin, Bolton, Graham, Stack, Pickett should get the job done in the midfield.

No question in my mind Dusty will rest forward for most of tonight. All of it if we can engineer it.

We've been in good form prior to last week's undermanned but fighting effort. Richmond by 45.

Been mentioned?? Umpires, Nick Foot, Robert O'Gorman, Ray Chamberlain.
Don't know Foot. That is how it should be for an umpire.
O'Gorman was woeful last time we had him at Metricon. Inept.
Chamberlain needs to shut up and umpire.

yeah midfield looks more solid this week.
Swallow is a big loss for them. Their midfield is very workman like. I can see Miller going to either Cotchin or Martin.

The ruck battle will be the key here. Witts is no slouch.

I agree.

Time to stop oppo coaches sleeping at night.

Don't ask me how I know but Foot is considered a terrible umpire within the umpiring ranks. This is true coming from a source within the umpires.
 
despite 2 idiots umpiring (and an unknown), the Tiges will win comfortably by a large number of goals
 
Weather is beautiful here today not a cloud in the sky very little wind.

When the whinging about umpires starts 10 hours before the ball is bounced it's a good indicator to avoid the game day thread come match time. :rotfl2

I see this as a big game for us in terms of starting some momentum. For me the season really starts now for us. Looking at the potential finishes we really should be looking to not drop another game for the season and finish in the top 3.

Regardless of the type of season, the path of least resistance to the Grand Final is still key, so top four is really an essential first step in getting the premiership defence organised.

We are building nicely, have a good mix of players to return and with some luck a really healthy list come finals time. What we really need to round things out is good form and confidence heading into the finals and that really should start tonight.
Agree with all that, Richo. Getting match fitness into Houli, Prestia, Edwards and Astbury also crucial to our hopes.

I'd venture you haven't seen O'Gorman ply his trade in person BR?

Its another level.

Its like giving Gerard Healy a whistle after a significant head knock

Go to the Umpire thread. I started whinging about the umpires 4 days ago. All for good reason. :D
