Another game where Grimes seems to be targeted by the oppositions number 1 spud. One day Dylan will retaliate bigtime

Watching a replay of the second half. Eddie says quite a few very complementary things about us. Not sure why all the hatred of him. Also, I thought that tackle by Green on Grimes was close to illegal in terms of what rugby calls a spear tackle.
All good mate, we've all been there during our tenure as supporters when things aren't quite what we expect. The last 4 games have been interesting to say the least, no rhyme or reason in that lot whatsoever, it's a feast or a famine, but early days yet, plenty of heart and mongrel amongst this lot though and that counts for plenty in this game.
I believe that may well be as "good as it get's" mate ...................... what a weekend that turned out to be, getting to old for that much excitement in the space of 8 hours.
Tiges and Foxes have done me very very proud over the last 5 years, spoilt rotten ...
Just watched the 2nd half again. We had every right to give up on that game. A couple of times we came back and then they kicked away again, usually on the back of some 50/50 umpiring decisions going their way. We hung tough and ramped up our pressure game when it mattered.
BTW, is it just me or did Aarts look the part playing in the midfield? Has poise and evasiveness. Could this be a find that works for us going forward?

We may have just re-invented our midfield in that game. I dubbed Baker mini-Dusty years back. He may just be Dusty Mk.II but in miniature form.
What a ripper footballer he is! And as brave as a Jack Russell terrier.
He was dead set riding us home. Screaming out "DUSTY!!!!" every few minutes like a Richmond supporter. Pissed a few neutrals off apparently.
I know you're being sarcastic to make fun of me, but are you really suggesting his goal wasn't critical? Or brilliant?
Because it was clearly both of those things.
Also, watch our last three goals, from 15 points down to win - Riewoldt has the last touch before the goal in all three. He then clears the ball out of danger on the wing with seconds to go to secure the win. He was in everything and CRITICAL to the win.
They're both working their arse's off. Pathetic? Wow.
Also, this is what Jack is dealing with.
This was not even half way through the first quarter.
It was his fourth (so far) outnumbered aerial contest that he was involved in, either forward or on the wing.
It resulted in a goal. Like a lot of his contests did.
We have a bloke that's going up four on one for no personal reward, creating goals and moving all over the park, and people think he's being beaten by one opponent.
Insanity.

St Kiddenme sacked him mid season after he'd played six of the first nine games and while they were already down a couple of injured big men. Caused a fair stir of controversy at the time.
Yeh, fair play pathetic not the right choice of words. No doubt he is working hard.
I’m sure Jack wouldn’t be happy with his output last 2 weeks, as a senior player with so many out no doubt he’d like to be playing better.
And I wasn’t being critical of George, his 3rd qtr goal assured us the win. He always delivers when we really need it.
Spend all season working on perfecting it for big boy month. Been working fine so far
Also gotta remember we've got a bunch of apprentices in learning the ropes at the moment.
Given that contest was 4 on 1 going for the ball and we have Aarts also in the pic - where are the other tiger smalls to collect the ground ball - this is one reason we are struggling as it’s hard to get our smalls up and back in time - systems issue rather than structural.
What kept ya Oldie? Jessie's been a *smile* head for years.
