GAME DAY - Tiges v Dogs

To many excuses here umpires this and the outs we had blind freddy can see we're struggling skills poor , disposal , pressure and the poor decisions on the ground.Match committee all over the place resting players in rd 4 lol if there not good enough to play on from rd 4 they should have retired simple and get fresh blood on the list smelled of arrogance to me.Dimma is carrying to many players past it
Carrying to many players past it? Who else should be replaced and by who?
We had I think 7 players who had played 25 games or under. They had 1.

Who cares whether it was a day for talls?

It was a day for Jack Riewoldt.
Ha ha. Jack is a legend. Past his best. Struggled last game - big time. Rested as planned. We were killed at the clearances, not because of forward line issues. We looked better with less talls.
Of course we will never know but we lost it by ignoring the conditions for most of the day.

Clearance differential is embarrassing

Massive disappointment i were all for recruiting Hopper and Tarranto but when Hopper, Tarrranto & Prestia give you this result in clearances it is a huge shock and worrying.

What’s of interest is that Taranto and Hopper were to be the solution , but are actually part of the problem

I went today
From ground level
Umpires pay the opposition everything. I counted 4 frees 4 goals
We are horrible by foot marginally Better by hand.
Nakas is cooked.
Baker had a shocker. Cost us 2 goals and then cost us with his decision making all game.
Ralphsmith was good.
Cumberland will go back to the 2's. When he needed to rush he just fked up badly.
Lynch gets rapped.
Dusty no different.
Hopper is as fit as me.
Prestia is only a 6 week vacation.
Balta and Big V were both average.
Your not winning many games with that skill level.

No longer good in the wet, we were great in the 2nd quarter, but terrible in the 2nd half when it rained.

Yep Bontapelli and Treloar had almost as many clearances as our whole team. Bonts smashed us, he was the difference.
 
Cumbo
Mansell
Clarke
Ralph
Young
Ryan
Sonz

That is a shipload of inexperience. And some, probably 3, won't make it.

That is utterly unacceptable and deserves a brutal rocket. None of this softly softly garbage

Made zero sense.

Smashing down raining in the last would have been the time to sub Sampson off and inject MRJ
Except the sub came on in the 2nd qtr.
MRJ has been pretty average all year.
As much as everyone bags out Ross, he would have been a better sub than MRJ.
