Game Day - Tigers V Swans

[craig]

Why does Baker and Jack do the media? Where is Grimes?

He cant be F#$%##$@, and cant say I blame him.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

and handing out 7 year contracts.

We’re screwed.

 

[Fighting Fury]

Yeah he does, *smile* himself and went one handed under a ball tonight and it's happened before. Don't want to make a big deal out of it because it's not but he puts a target on himself if he does it after stuff like the push.

Just be hard at the ball and get on with it. Too many of our guys are worried about peripheral stuff.

Totally disagree on Pickett but agree on our guys being far too interested in the trash talk.

 

[Rantnrave]

Hopper was real good.

I ain’t worried about those two GWS recruits.

So much dead wood to chop and underperformers to trade we’ll have plenty of cap space anyway

I agree ..god what kinda mess woukd our midfeild be in without them ?

 

[achillesjones]

Gees I love Jack Reiwoldt. Class act. Dusty take notes. It's not too late to learn how to front up to your loyal supporters.

 

[King Kong]

The crap started from the start mostly from the old guard. Clearances what did we recruit Taranto & Hooper for .. Cotchin subbed of for Maurice . Pathetic decision.

The fat controller moves faster than Cotchin these days. Needs to be tapped on the shoulder this week and told to retire

 

[French Tiger]

Our tackling is just as much as an issue as our kicking skills

Oh the I’ll discipline free kicks isn’t far off either

 

[Aurizontiger]

Had high hopes today, but that went ?hit pretty quickly. Trade Bolton to GWS for our first pick back.

 

[leon]

We won't make the 8 this year.

I'm predicting bottom 6.

 

[The Big Richo]

*smile* post - a new low even for u

That's rich coming from you. Your posting tonight, like any time we lose is a complete disgrace.

You are either a child or have the mentality of one. Or, given you only post when we lose, perhaps just a sadist.

Given the number of people who have you on ignore must mean you see about one out of every 10 posts it's a wonder you haven't got the message and taken your dribble elsewhere.

The only reason he playing this year was to get him to 300 games. That's pretty much it TBH.

Absolutely wonderful servant, but should have retired last year.

Harsh, but true.

End of story.

No point retiring now. We have so many injuries and probably 2 open list spots by the mid season draft. I think he has a lot to offer off the field.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Errors cost us the game. That’s it. Some was down to inexperience but mostly down to stupidity.

 

[tigerlove]

How were we to know the players already there that can’t step up for another year and the injuries would destroy our season

I think many of us knew it was over. Injuries are a given. Most of our elite are over 30yo. It simply more likely older players will get injured and take longer to recover. Injuries haven't destroyed our season. We've won one of 5. All of Graham, Nanks, Lynch were playing before this week. Time will tell but I think lack of new young talent will cost us. There is not enough quality in what we currently have to rebuild another premiership team anytime soon.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

Bolton on 800k plus needs to do a hell of a lot better than what he’s dishing out. He needs to be a match winner like Papley ffs

Hate to say it looks like we’re following the Dawks path

 

[daniel30]

Our skills and disposal is amateur stuff below afl standard the worse by a mile of any team.We got alot of senior players killing us on the ground not performing and doing stupid things put the blowtorch on them bigtime !.

Which makes our position pretty grim to mediocre at best. Won't have draft picks and players won't want to come here in FA as money is tied up.

 

[Redford]

Hooch: smarts, ball use inside 50, discipline.

Gave it to the players about their lack of discipline after the game.

Looked decidedly annoyed and frustrated with the performance.

We have plenty of talent. With the amount we are paying them, we expect to get more out of some of our older players. Martin, Bolton, Pickett, Vlastuin to name only 4 that should be providing a lot more than they are.
