GAME DAY Tiges V Giants

[Tigers2011]

Hard to accept mediocrity & that’s what this season was. Didn’t adjust to the new rules, lost form/confidence, got injuries and then it turned to rubbish.

Youth isn’t up to it - let’s be honest, so we need to start again there. Maurice jnr will be as good as Ted Whitten jnr, plus Dow & Ralphsmith were insipid poor tonight. Garthwaite never ever again.

Huge challenges ahead in recruiting, seeing who should go on & how the hell we want to try & play. Hardwick can make all the excuses he likes, but he’s lost the plot this year.

Broad and Balta missing is massive

Add in the late withdrawal of Astbury then we have a two man defence tonight

 

[TimeToRoar]

cant wait for presser from Dimma to hear what he says

 

[DjJazzyPete]

Gotta say I'm a bit ho hum on CCJ. Doesn't seem the type to rip a game apart. But if it's a choice between him and Chol it's all the way with CCJ!

Both might go to other clubs for better offers in 2020

 

[eddazol]

Preseason has started.

 

[craig]

Would've been better off being dead and buried a few weeks earlier to be honest.

A pick or 2 higher in the draft and a good rest for our veteran stars, and some quality family time.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Leppa looks like he's been playing rugby league ... got no neck

id love him bring a Hocking doll out and rip its head off and *smile* on it.

You know what he will say. GWS are a good side but we did some good things. We learned a few things and will put them right for next week

 

[Redford]

Injuries have played a part but you can’t hang your hat on that. There’s terrible parts to our play that have nothing to do with injuries and we’ve had enough personnel on the field to beat a number sides anyway eg GC, Cwood.

 

[MD Jazz]

Couldn't disagree more. If he doesn't go back to back, he will certainly be in the trifecta.

Is it judged on meters gained now?

 

[DavidSSS]

Maurice jnr will be as good as Ted Whitten jnr,

I'm hoping MRJ will be as good as Bob Skilton Jr.

It's his second game, he will get better and has shown good signs.

For my own sanity, I had to turn off the telly before half time.

Then I read about the strife in Sudan in an attempt to cheer myself up.

But that just reminded me of Chol, which made it even worse.

 

[The_Celebrant]

We've got way too many butchers.

Just like the Vic Market.

 

[King Kong]

GWS looked pretty damn good tonight. Admittedly their opposition weren't all that flash, but they are a really good side.
If the Doggies can't win it then I will back GWS (although I don't like saying that) for the flag
And, really, as long as Geelong don't take the silverware.

U going for a job at the AFL? Good start

 

[Bunnerz]

some perspective?

Not sure he should be getting games because of his name.

 

[craig]

I'd like him to ask the journo's where are good places to go in September, cos the past few years he's been busy dominating and winning Grand Finals and crushing the competition so badly they had to change the rules to stop us.... then drop the mike!!!

 

[DjJazzyPete]

It's cricket season.

Ugg The Aussies just got a hiding from the Bangers and follow the Renegades .. there doing worse than the Tigers

 

[WildStyle]

They should do they get so many top end picks every year. But I think they seem to target players with elite foot skills, something we have never worried about too much. But we will need to change tack the way the game is played now. We've got way too many butchers.

But for all the Giants great drafting they still have the grand sum of zero flags.

"Now" being the optimal word. Who knows what rules they'll throw at everyone next season and the season after. But that's the AFL for you.

 

[The_Celebrant]

It's just as well my old man died a few weeks ago, as I reckon tonight's effort would have killed him.
