Game Day - Tigers V Swans

There has been a lot of crap thrown around on this thread tonight but despite all that the game was there to be won with 10 minutes to go.
The most disappointing thing to me is the capitulation in the last 7-8 minutes.
Not good enough, this club is better than that.

Taranto Hopper Baker all with over 30 posession Riewoldt 4 goals can hold their heads high
The rest too many poor performances

It’s all gone down hill since Dimma’s affair. You can’t deny it.
Not to sink the boots in, we are where we were most likely going to be given the personnel issues etc, but I said this when it happened (and was criticised for it) and although its not the sole reason, it CAN be like a cancer that eats away at the fabric of one's Club.

Most disappointed with what should have been a winnable game in the last 1/4 to a 2 goal loss, only to capitulate with so many cheap goals making Papley look like a world beater. It's the WAY they capitulated the kills me.

Qun is - if we have Gibbo, Tarrant, Broady and Shorty in that team tonite, do we win this game?

It's like 2016 all over again.

Sad....but true.

We aren't fit enough
We are a shocking kicking side.
Unless we find 2 or 3 kids
We aren't going to make the 8 let alone win a flag
 
We should have kept our picks. We were delusional about where we were at. Taranto and Hopper trades look terrible at the moment. We should have just rebuilt with kids.

If the coach even hints at injuries being an issue tonight I might be done.

Sydney were decimated, far more significantly from a structure point of view than we were and just wanted it more.

I expected the loss, but it is hard to see how utterly awful we’ve become. I think Richo is now regretting not being more complimentary of us when we were good.
 
Ralphsmith is a *smile* dud. As is Ryan, Miller, Cotchin, McIntosh, Grimes, Balta, Rioli Jnr, Prestia and *smile* off our *smile* coaches

I suppose with kids you expect the last minutes to do that. Interesting to see how we build again.

Yeh, I was so confident. Still cannot believe it. I just cannot understand how we could dish that up with the season on the line in a away. I thought Dusty would fire up. He didn't fire a shot. He was jogging most of the night. Shai kicked the ball worse than anytime in his career. Vlas?? The worst game of his career. Balta had so many poor moments.

It's hard to reconcile these are the same players that won so many flags.
vlas ison very steep slope . Grimes is plummeting too.
 
Not a surprising result tonight, we are seriously under manned, especially in defence

Coupled with the obvious decline of Grimes and Vlossy we look very shaky back there.

You need luck with injuries in this league, we are getting hammered in that regard.

Time's up for Jack and Chimp, and now need to find another tall KF along with Lynch as we need to build attack again ala 2017.
Have to agree. We have been impacted through injury and suspension but we have a good number of former champs now on a downward spiral. Must continue to play our younger players, (as if we have a choice).

We are a bottom 4 side now. Again bad judgement on the trading of our future first last year, is going to cost us.
