Rich V Melb - Saturday, March 4, 4.10pm AEDT, Casey Fields

[French Tiger]

Hope we give Ryan a go in the 2nd half. Looked half decent in attack last week.

 

[Birdman19]

Lazy , undisciplined, unaccountable footy. Rocket at half-time methinks

 

[TigerForce]

Maybe it isn't going to work with Jack, Lynch, Dusty and Cumbo as the main 4. None of them are renowned for a lot of pressure, the talls do what they can as talls, but Cumbo should be providing more from a defensive POV. His offence is great but he does need to do more on defence. Has MRJ actually been in the F50 yet? Seems to be playing higher up the ground, but we need his defensive pressure inside 50

Would've been good to see Bauer play in this case.

 

[BiddiscombeSkills]

Lynch playing behind isn’t helping the delivery into the forward line. Young is outclassed. Dow looking good, Taranto looking great. Hopper building.

30 degree day, so I’m ok if the pace isn’t frenetic. Save that for round 1.

Yes there have been plenty of frees against, but holy crap we play dumb sometimes. Can’t blames the umps for that.

 

[dimmauchump]

As Is Marlion and from a ball use perspective, Sonsie for sure.

Worry that we are relying on a 2nd year player to improve our skills

 

[bigwow]

Yes that was a push in the back, but how has the ump calld that a goal. It was either a behind or a free kick at the top of the square. Making *smile* up on the run it looks like. There is no such thing as a penalty goal in the AFL.

It's the common sense rule, only applies in games V. Richmond.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Your not replacing Edwards Lambert and Houli over night.
Today shows we aren't anywhere near good enough to challenge.
You saw last night Warner & Gulden and Ashcroft and Dunkley put in huge games for there clubs.
I can't see who's our versions of these kids.
Grimes Cotchin Even Riewoldt look spent

 

[St Kevin]

How long is the Cotchin forward experiment going to last? I give it a month.

 

[TigerForce]

Mozza's gotta find his touch. Looks too loose.

 

[Fighting Fury]

Scores please?

 

[realtiger]

So far disappointing but the pressure is non existent from us and I’m not surprised. So far there has been virtually nil pressure in any pre season games. The most by any team has been from Melbourne….today! I hate losing however it’s not round 1 and we might totally bring it then! We are not showing our cards yet ! Go Tiges

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Umpires are one thing but undisciplined play has cost us games and some players just never learn.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Good. Tarranto Dow
No Good, Cotchin Soldo Grimes Flappers Rioli Clarke Baker
Working signs. Ruck useless
Defence massive holes
And what's with these slow starts to the seasons?

Yep. Pussies and Boringbourne are the only teams, maybe the Dogs, to go 100% now.....which is not good for the long run.

Gawn and Grundy looking good now, but should burst as the season goes on. Keep inflating those egos Boringbourne.

Nothing is happening forward, dont put it all on Cotchy.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Scores please?

62 -24

 

[dimmauchump]

Hopper been dissapointing so far

 

[Fighting Fury]

62 -24

thanks Zips. In a region with poor coverage.

Maté it’s 30
Degrees at Casey in a meaningless match. Seriously what is the point of those guys busting their arses today? Zero. Try 18 degrees at MCG on 16 March
The only thing I am worried about is Presita

 

[Merveille]

Do you know Swans never won one of these games under Roos???
