Game Day - Tiges v Deez Round 20, 2023
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
No I haven't seen him play like that before bc it was apparently the first time he was used in that position. He is usually overshadowed in the backline by May and Lever so it was a match-winning move. He just played with better body work and better judgement than our defenders along with Soldo. He showed us how much we miss Lynch.
Would be great to hear a Coach able to speak his mind on certain issues, but it's 2023 and in this PC world we live in, we'd hate to "Umpire-shame" anyone and have them have a Mental breakdown and take their Bat & Ball and never officiate again, that would be just terrible.......
Truth is we have only ever won anything because of Dusty
When he was going today we looked like a premiership team but he cant get us all the way anymore
Hardwick and most of our players would be nothing without him thats the simple truth
Why you being so aggressive? Don't need the genius remark. Dusty 3 goals 2 goal assists, 11 score involvements. Most effective disposals for the game. The guy is 32yo, what more do you want? Bolton most disposals, 8 clearances, 11 inside 50s. They were our best 2 performing players and you're asking where were they? As I said look elsewhere, it's a team game, it shouldn't rely on 2 players to get us over the line.

Have a spell TBR burner.
That 2017 - 2020 team was chock full of superstars.
Dusty was the goat icing on a powerhouse team
The commentators aren’t even able to question the umpiringWould be great to hear a Coach able to speak his mind on certain issues, but it's 2023 and in this PC world we live in, we'd hate to "Umpire-shame" anyone and have them have a Mental breakdown and take their Bat & Ball and never officiate again, that would be just terrible.......
no excuses just not good enough in the last. Apart from Norf, all our remaining games are against contenders including Port in Radelaide to finish off. could be a long month
He's certainly no superstar like he showed today either though, just had "One of those days" ........ I won't be holding my breath to see his next game like that.
It wasnt actually that bad today plenty of folks running on hair triggers because we get reamed every week
The 50s were all legit and most of the frees were pretty right as well
Broad tried to pull a ginnivan and got what that *smile* deserves
Weve had 10 games with worse umpiring towards us this year
Tell us you know nothing about football without telling us you know nothing about football.
Hopper has been very poor for weeks in the first half. In the last 3 weeks he hasn't had more than 7 disposals in the 1st half. Appears to pickup in 2nd half but need him firing from the start. Been overall disappointing imo since coming back from injury.
Thought we played as well as any game this year BUT
- backline was poor - don't think we have had 14 goals kicked on is by three players in a long time!
- Balta outmarked on numerous occasions
- Young had his colours lowered for the first time in a while
- Vlaustin was fumbly and indecisive
- And Grimes was positively awful. His downwards spiral has intensified - maybe should be in the same conversation as Cotchin and Riewoldt regards retirement. I would have Cotchin in front of him but I know Grimes has a contract!
Soldo battled manfully but overwhelmed in the end - maybe shouldn't have been off in that decisive period in the last.
Our manufactured forward line kicked 15 goals - should have been enough!
Umpiring was just plain cheating - everytime we got a break they plucked a dodgy free kick:
- HTB against Ross and 50 against Hopper just after we went 20 points up
- Non decision of holding the man against Rioli in the next play (those two goals kept them in touch)
- HTB against Taranto when we were back in front in last.
- HTB against Hopper at CHF
- HTB against Broad in goals square.
Its just that we never get them!
Would love to know the free kick differential on HTB!
Its about time the club called the umpiring out - what have they got to lose?
