Game Day - Tiges V Freo

[btoz_01]

It's like a comedy show now.... how can we invent another way to lose next week??

We’re already working on it
it’ll be Edwards 300 he’ll go out in a fizzer

Soldo and Balta both missed sitters from 20 metres out ... this is the heartbreaking stuff ...

As did Baker, as did Jack.

Noah burnt 3 shots.

 

[Ridley]

Truth. Dived on it.

For a smart player he’s done plenty of dumb things late in his career.

He was extremely disappointing tonight. A terrible game. The end is nigh.

 

[22nd Man]

So the media 7 are in the Freo room - do they think they should have won or have the tigers locked them out.

What do you want roaming Brian to ask us?

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

This always pees me off. E Ev Eve Ever Every player who marks near the forward 50, the first thing you should always do is turn to see what's available.

How he didn't know to stop is unbelievable

 

[btoz_01]

It’s hard to accept when it happens 2 weeks in a row with Aarts and now Cumberland.

And Balta

 

[TigerForce]

We can't win anymore. Forget the finals people. Wasting your energy.

Question
Was the player who tackles Noah Cumberland and prevented him kicking the ball in the "protected zone"?

You need to give players a little time to get out of the protected zone. Cumbo played on straight away, therefore he's open slather.

Brayshaw is loving it the FKstick cant control his glee.

 

[22nd Man]

Rioli jnr came on and it shows how much we need speed in the team.

I worked that out in first quarter when freo just ran through the corridor.

 

[jackfrost]

Huge contrast bw Cumberland and Balta
Cumberland hurting - wanting to win - Balta ... oh well!

No, Balta was .... "Unlucky it's a Draw, ahhh, WHO CARES" !!!

WTF ?

I guess PR isnt something they teach down at the Club anymore either, my word this kid has lost me altogether at the moment, just a big Blockhead with zero sense of basic smarts, Football or otherwise.

 

[Ridley]

Don’t think we need big changes…we need a better strength and conditioning team so we don’t have injuries all year.

We looked amazing in that comeback vs Geelong, we have it in us we’ve had really bad luck (or poor management) with injuries the last two years

Positives again were Cumberland and Sonsie…without two lumbering rucks, Lynch in the side and at the G we would win that match

Yeah we are finding plenty of reasons why we would win games after we have blown them. The fact is we are not winning them through utter stupidity, ineptitude and incompetence.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

We are playing alot more kids at least.
Miller, SonyTv, Cumberland, Rioli & Edwards

 

[22nd Man]

Was clearly play on. I have no idea what Balta was doing. Was he counting kangaroo-koala rather then cat-dog?

What was he doing in the centre? The mark was 40 out.

 

[artball]

And Balta

he's up and down like a yo-yo.. it's a worry

 

[Ridley]

Soldo and Balta both missed sitters from 20 metres out ... this is the heartbreaking stuff ...

And Jack.

Fremantle took advantage of Hardwick's stupid idea of playing a ruck as a key forward. Both teams were playing +1 behind the ball anyway & having a ruck as a key forward just made it worse. Ball just lived between the arcs all night as a result.

However as brave as Prestia & Cotchin were (and they both tried their guts out), we so lack quality midfielders that can win & use the ball to break the game open. And obviously we clearly lack a key forward. Balta has no instinct for it.

Great post spot on it was a bad selection…even trying Bauer would have been better than Soldo. Nank clearly hampered.

MRJ and Stack should play the last four

 

[TimeToRoar]

Learn from it was trotted out at Presser.

 

[eez-up-tiger]

I would pay top dollar if next week we have George , arts and cumbo all playing . It would dumb , dumber and dumbest ! Great for tv ratings I reckon !

 

[craig]

Collingwood would not have let that game go ..........................................................................................F@#$@ My Life
