Game Day Tiges v Port

Credit where its due. They were ferocious at the contest.
Their fwd line clicks.
Will take some beating.
Best team I've seen this year but our best is better.

That's what it was. Great experience. Dixon is a serious big man.
I actually think Dixon is overrated but he is a massive unit. He has the ability to dominate smaller and inexperienced opponents. Dave is not inexperienced; Noah is. In a year or two Noah will handle Dixon.

Sheesh what a game. I normally only download our wins but I will be downloading this one.
With our full side in we could be anything this year but I'm afraid we may struggle to finish top four which will make it hard no matter who we have in.
I don't mind our losses this year to the Aints, GWS or Port, because I think they are all pretty good but that Hawthorn loss was inexcusable and could cost us big time.
And the draw.
Can we do it from 5th-8th?
As long as we are in the 8 the rest will *smile* their pants

Rance struggled with Dixon. He is unique as he is flawed.

Dixon plays the same game every week... always has moments in games but never puts it altogether ... and my word the commentators love him don’t they like he has burst onto the scene... he debuted in 2010 ffs. I actually thought Balta did ok. The way the ball was coming in start of the first and the entire last qtr - Dixon should’ve kicked 10!

Rance generally struggled with beasts. He was better on the athletic types like Buddy.

And I think balta eventually will be great on the beasts , he is just a baby Atm , And is going to be a powerful man Eventually

Kicked 3.6 in his only final and Port went down by a kick.

Dixon tried to kill Rance in a pre-season game but his knee missed Rance's head. Allegedly an enthusiastic substance abuser in his younger days. He is part unhinged.

Brave effort. Port turned up with their A grade stuff, we made them. With 6 out and 6 passengers.

Rance would drop his bundle, spreading through the team.
Many have a great defender. I saw him is a good defender.
Anyone bigger would destroy him.
Jenkins walker Kennedy Pappy.
 
Cotchin, Prestia , nankervis,
All super hard and ball getters and finals hardened,

Houli, Asbury , are proven big game players.

Now add the brilliance of
Edwards to mid or backline and with no chance what so ever of port getting a final in Adelaide, and tigers not having a traveling 4 day game, were all good,I'm convinced our boys will be way too good for port in a couple of months.

Massively overrated, the way the media have been talking about him of late, you would think he is the second coming of Jesus Christ
 
I was lucky enough to be at the game. We got spanked in the midfield in my opinion, when we got it forward we usually scored, we kept fumbling and couldn’t get it down there in the last qtr. And that short arm pull out effort from Eggmollesse-Smith was diabolical. And what was. The go with that 100 metre penalty?

It more intense than many many finals. Maybe only one or two GFs played at that level. It was freakin ballistic.

I thought Caddy would have been a big body in the midfield today. Was in there for any centre bounces?
Apparently 25-5 centre clearances in Port's favour. I know for some reason we don't value this aspect of the game but that is beyond the pale. You can't win a game of footy handing first use to your opponents in those numbers.

Cotchin and Prestia will help.

Our B team played them on their dunghill under their conditions so next time doubt if they will be smiling if we meet again up North. Boak BoG murdered us around the stoppages.
