Game Day - Tiges V Swans
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
Maurice had just run 200 metres three times in a row, on that last play, after having run at a full sprint for most of the quarter.
Plus, Bolton's kick to him was genuine trash. (He was also gassed).
I think we really just want Marlion to get to the 100 games for the F/S possibilities. But 18 games to go is looking a long way down the road. I was unimpressed with his game today again - he looked cooked in Q4 and not that interested. Was thinking he should have been subbed after that lazy kick on the far wing that gave the Swans opponent, trailing by about 10m, an equal chance in the contest again. Just crucial errors.
Just like KMac - the mistakes and turnovers just drive you spare and cost us goals ... often. Defensively and offensively.
Yes, did little effectively. Disappointing game and some of the usual brain fades per usual. Luckily TL stepped up and found some form today against a top opponent.
Was unable to attend or watch live and only finished watching the replay now, (after deliberately avoiding the result).
So many incredible moments.
Their intensity and desire to win accounted for many of the teams deficiencies and lack of perceived talent.
The sting of dropped marks, wrong options and skill errors dissipated quickly through the immense pressure that the Tiges piled on continually that eventually transferred into perceived pressure and plenty of opposition mistakes.
I haven’t seen that kind of Tiger pressure for some time.
Ooze has stated previously and again in his presser that he wants the Tiges to be hard to play against, and they were, and it was brilliant to see.

Thought Balta looked under the weather from the first bounce. Think I posted that in the 2nd qtr. Noticeably struggling when the siren went. Believe he may not have trained during the week either so likely he is carrying something.
Managed to get his hands to the ball to spoil on the goal line with about 30 seconds left though.
Na, that was a bad kick by Shai. MRJ was gassed and it didn't matter but the kick was the reason we didn't score.

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
Watching the third quarter and he is dynamic and really propelling us foward
Crazy. It was his best game for ages. He didn't make many mistakes at all. He tackled well, always provided an option, had sticky hands for some difficult takes. He was critical to the win.
Hard to see everything at the game today due to either the grog or the smog ha ha , but realised after the game I hardly noticed Warner Papley Heeney , Blakey etc , bloody hell that was a good win
Or do you mean that each game has a varied system of rules and penalty adjudications?
Today's win felt different. Today's win felt fresh.
As good a victory as we've had for a while. Just a great day all round really & one to cherish.

A tremendous effort by the boys.
After the Isaac Heeney goal in the first minute of the third quarter, the team only conceded three goals for the entire half.

They were both gassed. Bolton covered a huge amount of ground in the last, very tired kick
Nothing justifies a team not having their players' actions on the field not adjudicated the same as every other team. Just as the rules must be the same for every team, every game.
But that is not what we see for us, and some other teams also, while again, some clubs seem to get a very favorable run quite consistently. [See Colonwood 2023; RFC not given equal treatment for over 5 years now at least].
How good would have been with equal adjudication like the favoured teams? How many more wins (esp. close games); how much percentage have we been robbed of; player achievement and recognition etc. etc. ?
Watching the replay, closely.
Didn't think Balta was injured at all.
His role was to knock the ball down to ground, create crumbs.
Sometimes he took on and spoiled 3 opponents in the marking contest.
(Created the crumb for the Sonsie handpass to Mansell, kick to Lynch, in the 3Q.)
Must say what an absolute freak Bolton is.
Worth every cent, and more.

Nah Leon. Marlion was Marlion, the same one we have had for 82 games.
He is laconic and looks uninterested at times but he isn’t, that’s the way he plays.
We have to take the bad with the good but he was very important on the wing.
Did a 2019 blind turn today as well, a thing of beauty
His third quarter was elite. Admittedly wasn't great all day but his 3Q kept us in it.
