Game Day - Tiges v Deez Round 20, 2023

[year of the tiger]

I have seen enough to think we should win our next 3 games and maybe, just maybe sneak into the 8.

Melbourne are playing electric footy at the moment and I reckon they are smokies for flag favourites.

Our first half was good and when Gawn turns it on, they are virtually impossible to beat and he was BOG by a country mile in that second half. I think even with their dominance that margin flattered them I reckon thanks to some absolutely bewildering umpiring.

I know there is a lot if venting on here, I am not happy, but Melbourne we’re always just that little to good over the whole ground compared to us.

Nank and Short to return next week will give us some freshness and hardness which we will need given we play on Friday.

Happy with the effort has ,never at any stage did I give us any chance at all ,just nothing taking a mark in our forward line.

It was extraordinary to be so close at 3/4 time

With 0 marks i50 to about 20

 

[Ridley]

He is an underrated player.

Versatile.

Very good defender who can intercept well. To me he was my concern when I saw his name as an in, and forward.

His start confirmed that!

He isn’t a hack.

He may not kick 5-6 again but he has kicked I think multiple goals before.

Swingman. No hack.

Our defence made him look like Wayne Carey. He is most certainly not that. He had his Mason Cox game today.

Love you Waiting.

But Petty is a spud.

Absolute indictment on our backline that a battler like that got off the chain today

 

[jackfrost]

Grimes should be told to hang up the boots alongside Cotchin, Riewodlt & Pickett

If that's all he has left in the tank, he should announce his retirement tomorrow, as much as that hurts me to say.

Agree. Couldn’t even sledge the prick and make him cry. *smile* poor.

 

[toothless]

We could use him.

How?

 

[Redford]

Dylan is one of my favourites. He’s been part of the best backline I’ve ever seen. But sadly today was a glaring signal that he’s done.

I know you can have bad days, but what I saw today was more than that.

If he had a niggle, well, fine. But that would then beg the question why didn’t he come off and Miller went down back ?

Too many all at sea games the last 2-3 years. As it is with Chimp and Jack, it’s time.

Has kicked 11 goals in his career before today. Did kick 3 goals in a game in 2019 otherwise has only kicked more than 1 goal once earlier this year that being 2 goals.

Grundy won’t get another game for Melb unless Gawn injured

Let’s get him for our ruck.

 

[jackfrost]

Think we got a smashing out of the middle in the second half?
Backline was under pressure but geez they were awful.

Yep, our guys tend to tire in 2nd halfs, that's why I thought Hopper might have more influence than he did, certainly wasn't exhausted in the first half that I recall.

 

[toothless]

Let’s get him for our ruck.

Reportedly off to Port. Perfect fit for both parties.

 

[Baloo]

First half was one of our best this year. We were in front 12mins into the last so it wasn't a bad game except for the blow out at the end when we had nothing to stop Gawn running amok.

 

[jackfrost]

Got to wonder how much these blatant umpiring calls have on players mentality during the game. Must suck so much energy out of you

Now that's a very good post Dimma, maybe there is hope for you after all ?

It certainly can't help a players mental state I do know that much.

 

[RUNVS]

Reamed by the umpires once again.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

The old guys will get us no where. Time to make some calls.

That needed to be done with Cotchand Jack last year

 

[jackfrost]

I've had KK ignore for so long that I forgot all about him.

I figured as much ......

 

[123cups]

The outcome didn't go our way, but I thought that was one of our best performances in a long time.

 

[jokershoppe]

What was the crowd please.

 

[Dustintime]

Nice try, but at the time of that post it was 100% correct ........ try harder or go home Tossal.

Youre backing someone so dumb he was watching the wrong game for half the first quarter

At no time was Soldo a better option than Nank today or any other day
