GAME DAY - TIGES V SAINTS

[Berwick boy]

*smile* me...harden up you blokes. We know we are never going to get more frees than the oppo, but we are right in this.
Not that the second qtr should are our best.

Can I quote this ? Yeah stuff it.

I hope most read their posts during the game and think maybe I will wait a bit before pissing the bed.

Butler has been in poor form this year. First good game was WC last week.

When they got the run on.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

The whole team just gave the comp a big Don’t Argue.

 

[Tigaman]

Saints crucified so who is next ?.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Didn’t see that coming at quarter time. Saints wilted and we got hungrier. Very well earned 9-day break.

 

[artball]

put the foot down and kept going ..

 

[tiger76]

I feel ashamed about being genuinely concerned about tonight’s game.

And to think, no Soldo, Prestia or Big V.

 

[Disco]

When they got the run on.

They’re starting to see the Butler we saw.

When we looked to be struggling a bit in the early part of the 2nd quarter I looked at the stats on my phone because I felt like we were being towelled up in clearances. It was 18-9 to them.
It finished 44-28 to us which means after the point it was 35-10.
I can hardly remember a st kilda centre clearance after half time.
Not sure what comes first. Did we get on top and start winning clearances or is that the reason why we got on top?

That's the 4 weeks headstart we gave the comp now it's on our terms.

Graham 12 tackles 3 goals, great game

 

[Tigers of Old]

Was transported back to the early 80s tonight. Dominated St Kilda.

 

[Tigers2011]

Good tonight. Pressure back albeit against really poor opposition. Season starts now with next three week run. Melbourne on Anzac Eve is the first test.

 

[nafe brown]

Just a complete team performance....

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Was transported back to the early 80s tonight. Dominated St Kilda.

Un-Richmond-like to punish an opposition like that. We played like it was an important match. Fair effort on the back of a tough game and three 6-day breaks.

 

[TrialByVideo]

I can hardly remember a st kilda centre clearance after half time.

Foxfooty says in a 35 minute period in Q2 and Q3.... 1 them ... 21us !

 

[RoarEmotion]

That was fun.

Had to wait 40 minutes for the shop to cook my satay beef noodles outside the ground.

and forty minutes for the tigers to get going inside the ground.

Both were awesome after the wait

Has Eric Banner tweeted how appalling the umpires have been to his beloved saints?

 

[Redford]

Pleasing that we blasted them at centre bounces tonight. Will be much tougher next week...

Coffield has five inches and 10kg on him. We have to stop kicking high to smalls. We did it to Aarts v Battle as well, similar size diff.

You beat me pointing this out. Still thought it was a puzzling game from DRioli though; cannot work out if he's more of a strength or weakness atm. Sure, did some good things and kicked straight for that angled goal.
But too fumbly often and why does he keep losing his feet so much? Missing the clean hands he used to show.
