GAME DAY Tiges V Eagles

Prestis and Nank and Lynch and Cotchin are massive outs, they were missing Kelly, no one else.
Have faith Tiger army, we dont have to make top 4 to win it again!
I know it didn't seem like it but Cotch was playing.. West Coast missing more than Kelly. Add Shuey , McGovern, Sheppard as pretty handy players. And yes I don't think we're as good as we were in 2019 so top 4 is a must. The worry is we've played all of top 7 and won just 1. We have to play Cats and Brisbane again. I like your enthusiasm. I'm more of a realist. Hope enthusiasm wins.

Alot of angry posts about tonights result.
Seriously?
Epic games like that are extremely hard to win every time, we have done our fair share the last 4 years.
Yes we made errors, but I can never be angry at these guys who have won 3 of the last 4 flags.
We still havent played so many of the bottom sides, when we do our % will go up as well as our ladder position.

Absolutely embarrassing in here tonight.
 
It's not the coaches. What we did to Essendon in the last is what we're capable of. But we didn't do it today.

Tired, jet-lagged, fatigued who knows why, but what we saw today is so far below what we're capable of. That's why it hurts so much.

Look it’ll sting. Everyone at the club will of course be gutted.

And those saying football has gone past us in 2021 are wrong.

I’ll say it again - Dimma and co. are simply trying to nurse us through the season. Get enough wins to challenge.

September will be a choking, stifling phone box like it always is. All those teams getting away with pretty lace-out footy won’t get it when the pressure ramps up.

We are still kings of finals footy intensity and this will be precisely the element certain other teams won’t be ready for.

Be philosophical if you can. 5-6 on the ladder at the end of it all won’t be an impossible position, not by a long shot.

Where was any tall player that last 10 mins ?

Desperately missed Nank in that respect.
That is nanks bread and butter. Getting back to help in defence and taking those big contested marks.

McGovern was missing for them
 
We aren’t cooked, Jesus Christ.

We just aren’t making top four, that’s all.

Looked at the ladder today and it pained me to see Geelong boring everyone on their way to third position.

Best we can hope is a home EF against the mob who just heisted is.
I certainly hope we don’t have to play an EF in Perth. That was our best chance to beat them in Perth and we blew it. Happy to play them anywhere but Perth. *smile* I’m spewing!

Yep. Gameplan was good enough, just didn't execute and that's on the players.

Sh!ts me no end. Where was this from the show ponies against the Bummers?? Do they need a f*ck up the back side from our sexy team to get their spirits up?
 
2 loses against port and tonight to WC we should've won
Balta gave a off the ball free kick and tonight Shorts brain fade
Proved to be very costly

Happy to play them again, with their full strength squad, when we have Prestia, Lynch, Nank and Dave back.

Trying to think thx last time we choked like that?
this game might be the turning point on the good times are over
 
Thats 3 games in row the oppostion have kicked 4 goals in a row in the last qtr.
Worrying signs
 
We’ve got Saints, Suns, Pies.

We need to do what Geethrow do all the time: win those easier games, take the heat off when things aren’t going perfectly, get under cover, re-set, and go again.

Geethrow have done this for 15 plus years. When everyone thinks they’re gone, they sneak back into contention.

We need to do the same.
