Game Day - Tigers V Swans

It
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.
It’s not the fact that we are seriously undermanned it is the really poor field kicking skills we’ve got this year as well as the dumb 50 metre penalties we give away every week. A player like Bolton is going through the motions, Balta makes too many mistakes for a player of his experience , Dusty is now a good player instead of a dominant one , Maurice Rioli couldn’t get a kick in a stable and Cotch looks like he’s gone.
We have to keep playing blokes like Ryan, Miller, Ralphsmith, Clarke etc this year to see if they can improve to cover the old farts who go at the end of the year ( Grimes, Cotch maybe Jack ).

The give up in the last 7-8 minutes was the worst & most disappointing aspect.

Never deserved to win due to ball use and structure deficiencies, but effort costs nothing.

So you recon Pickett is a thug who jibbs contact?

Just asking

No, I love him too. But he does have a habit of getting uncomfortable under the ball at times, nothing wrong with that either he's only human.

I'm just saying don't go around acting like a plastic tough guy (especially when you are already hard enough at the contest as it is) because you look like a fool when that happens afterwards.

Dusty can take his $1.2mil and *smile* off
King Kong - what a pathetic excuse for a Richmond supporter you are ! Absolute joke , no morals, no integrity and absolutely no brains!! Dusty has done more for the Tigers than any man before him! They’re only 1 person to **** off and it’s you! Moron of the highest order!!

Taranto Hopper are the ones that stood up tonight 30+ possessions each
we kept Cotch Jack to go for another flag that’s why we recruited them
we weren’t bottoming out
I don't think that's the point being made. 7 years and $1.5mill a year and two years of lost young talent for two similar players is a huge price to pay if not for premiership glory.

Disagree. Pickett doesn't shirk anything. Pushing the guy whilst on the ground was disappointing but I'm sure it would have been payback from something earlier.
