GAME DAY Tiges V Giants

[toothless]

Tim Livingstone should spend the rest of the night booking the surgeries for Monday.

Should have been done a month or so ago. The season was clearly over ages ago but the club has seemingly been in denial. Shame because we potentially lose a greater chance at elite junior talent through the draft

 

[Ghost of 29]

Yep. Scumwood's fall is worse.

At least we cooked ourselves up winning 3 flags in 4 years

 

[jokershoppe]

I think cotch although the last 3 weeks has found some ball,his impact is minimal ,really needs out of midfield as he's still getting murdered.
Cotchs 30 touch game against Fremantle was poor also has our midfield was slaughtered,we got to improve this has forward or backlines won't work without a good one.

 

[zippadeee]

If Tarranto was worth 1 first rounder
After tonight he will cost us what WC gave up for Kelly.
Forget about it now.
Dunstan might do now

 

[Mantikorr]

We just haven't been up for the fight this year. Ralphy, Garthy, MJ, Parker, Dow, Mansell aren't AFL standard players at the moment. Titch and Jack are near the end. Lambo and Prestia just haven't got continuity at all.

It's been a strange year all around.

Yep. Missing defenders for large parts of the year has really hurt. Vlastuin back has made a difference in itself, still missing Balta, Broad and Astbury. Houli probably been replaced by Rioli now

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

90 year old Mumford is owning us. Made Nankervis take a side step. Not surprised Hardwick made a change.

Nank having a shocker. Not the only one though.

 

[Ridley]

Positive: more than one goal at half time.

Here's JB with the late news

 

[Smoking Aces]

Stand rule.

We can’t defend against oppo short transition with our usual zone structure.

We can’t move the ball effectively with our chaos, territory style.

Our game plan is rooted. Long summer off, recruit well, come back with a more accountable style.

Yep our game plan needs to be binned. Get the butchers paper out Dimma and start again. But knowing the AFL they will probably scrap it.

 

[MD Jazz]

That's the point though, if it's paid 1 in a 100 then obviously it happens a lot. Why should a player be disadvantaged and not be able to do to gain an advantage what everyone else does? It"s easily fixed, only pay if it is absolutely obvious and has potential to impact the play. Neither of those did.

Yeh, you have to pay them all. It feels like we are the guinea pig all the time.

 

[TimeToRoar]

Hard to see us getting back in this game from here. What positives could we explore in the 2H. I'd like to see man on man and tell the boys to take it on. Let's see what transpires. Maybe try Parker in middle and see if he can get it at least going our way a few times.

 

[jokershoppe]

If midfield was functioning our old game plan would still work easily.

 

[artball]

10 goals in a row and it's ours

 

[WildStyle]

Stand rule.

We can’t defend against oppo short transition with our usual zone structure.

We can’t move the ball effectively with our chaos, territory style.

Our game plan is rooted. Long summer off, recruit well, come back with a more accountable style.

Then they'll just change the rules again.

Yes this is the crux of it, he has little impact with his disposals. Still good defensively against the right player but the good quick players clean him up as is happening tonight.

 

[jb03]

I think we need Pavlich and Dunstall to head up a review

 

[eZyT]

Yep our game plan needs to be binned. Get the butchers paper out Dimma and start again. But knowing the AFL they will probably scrap it.

thats the thing, how can you plan when they can change rules the night before the first bounce?

 

[year of the tiger]

This is the best thing that could happen to us. We were done well before the bye.
This will cause Benny, Peggy, Balmey, and Dimma, to have a serious review of where we are at and what needs to happen from here. Had we made the finals it may not have been as stringent a review as what is required.
Dropping down the ladder won’t hurt either. Get the injured in for early surgery and give some kids a taste.

Yep its all over - has been since that last qtr against the eagles

 

[MD Jazz]

How can he not recall that bounce?

 

[mrposhman]

How can he not recall that bounce?

That was ridiculous. I reckon Mumford expected it to be recalled hence why he punched it like he did.

 

[craig]

I dont know who is taking the p!ss more ...us or them.
