GOAT Day thread - TIGERS Vs wees & poos hawkers

Hold the line.

Yze robbed of the midfield he wanted and forced to stick mannequins in there.

He wants beast mode in the guts, make no mistake. We will draft for the next Clarrie Oliver and look to boss first possession in 2025.

Cattle isn’t fit for this drover. Hold the *smile* line until the list is turned over some.

Agree with this

Get through the rest of this year. Get a top 3 pick. Get more first rounders. Pick wisely - the rifght cattle
More pain to come. Don't look at results concentrate on which of the kids we keep and build around.

I know it's an easy excuse but I do wonder if there was a bug going around? Dusty gets up for important games and barely fired a shot in his own 300th? That doesn't add up. We've been building up over weeks and haven't lacked run and our clearance numbers have been good. To see such a massive drop in this game doesn't make any sense to me.
Clutching at straws knighter. It’s not disloyal to acknowledge when a side is no good.

The ducking and receiving a free is rife in the game. One day a player will duck and get concussion, then we will see the full impact of rewarding ducking.

It really isn't that hard, if they put their head in the way of a tackle they should be the one conceding a free kick.

As long as the umps continue to reward this behaviour it will keep happening.

Hawks had extra in defence all night (our extra may have been at stoppages) so when we bombed it in the had an easy win…then they spread and ran forward better than us. We had a team of turnstyles/muppet arms in tackling.
Would have set a record for ineffectual tackles
 
I think it was gratitude. He had to be moved by his Tiger family turning up in such numbers. I reckon he handled himself really well.

He handled Jack's questions well.

It might be time to think about a Breust-like sub role. Scale it back as he clearly can't run out a full game anymore.
Jacks questions weren’t exactly Michael Parkinson

Taranto was unbelievable today. Clearance machine. Cumberland was awful. Wouldn't be surprised if Campbell Gray takes his spot real soon. Finally, anybody saying "that's it for me, no longer supporting the Tiges".... harden up, we waited 37 years for the best footy years of our lives, it doesn't last forever. Ride it out, if you can't handle the tough times, you aren't a true Tiger!

Another head ducking, shoulder shrugging stager that fools these moronic AFL umpires.

Did you see the wave he did to the Richmond crowd in the last quarter? I can't recall such a smarmy *smile* of a player.

James Silly 881 metres gained. Any chance someone could have paid attention to him. Gun player
So predictable. Yze maybe over-rated the returning Lynch's capacity but there should have been a reaction from Q1, like man him up, take away the spare. What did having a spare on the ball actually achieve?

Maybe? Success is not a ratchet, I think someone on here once said, but I don't expect such a big drop-off after several weeks of very competitive games. Most people knew the Don's were pretenders thanks to an easy draw, so weren't that surprised by our game. Are the Hawks that much better?

Have been listening to the ABC call the last few weeks and I'm really enjoying Nathan Burke's special comments. That's big for me, because he is part the reason for my nickname on here. (Spud's giving him a Guard of Honour while treating Knighter so poorly IMO). But if you want to hear a former player being completely uncompromising on the way rules are being abused by players and the incompetence of the umpires in understanding it, I don't think anyone else comes close. He is ruthless. It's great.

You should have heard Nathan Burke going off about this in the ABC commentary. He said the bloke deserved whatever he got and the umps are supposed to be aware of it and not pay the free. Someone is going to get a very serious injury because it's being rewarded. Or words to that effect.

Ben Miller made sure Moore earnt his ducking free kick. Bucks even had a laugh about it.
