Round 10 Game Day Thread V PORT

[stripes17]

I have my fingers and toes crossed for our first win. Just want to hear the boys sing the song. Please!!! and no injuries for us I hope.

 

[U2Tigers]

I am impressed with Newman today - hes playing smart and is keeping his head for us to clear the ball fairly effectively.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

whitey been good

Is it possible for a player's skills to improve in the wet? ;D

 

[BrettC]

That's right. We did more running than Port have.

port would be pretty stuffed from last weeks game in darwin. melbourne getting smashed by geelong at the minute but looking pretty flat nevertheless from last week.

 

[Streak]

Cannot wait to see Griffiths in the dry.
Been impressed with his work at ground level also.
Moves very well.

He has been brilliant on debut in these conditions.

An interesting note on this game. In such conditions you need to use a basic game plan. Our blokes are doing really well playing a simple game.

 

[Lidsand]

thats a some half of tough contested footy

deledio cotchin and martin a delight to watch, their skills and ball handling in the wet an absolute standout

 

[pahoffm]

Playing footy in the wind, rain & mud.

It's like running into an old girlfriend.

Love to be back in there.

And Big Ben is doing well on debut too.

What a game, whichever way it goes.

Would be nice to be flat yet still be up by 50 points+

 

[tigerman]

I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but with the Powers injuries we should snag our first win.
I hope the young kids know the words to the song

The ol' smell of mud ;D

 

[Dexter]

Young team that lacks big bodies, fitness V team coming of match in heat and injury problems?
would be nice if the latter outweighed the former for once!

 

[fitchy86]

sun sun go away. Let the rain come back today.

 

[TigerForce]

It's all rugby tactics now.

 

[K3]

TV stations have to make showing the play first priority, not replays or shots of players nursing injuries.

Turn the sprinklers on every Friday night and make the MCG the new Moorabbin!

It's partly because they're getting rorted by the umpires and partly because they're losing to a very poor improving team. Richmond wants it more at this stage.

Go Tige's!

 

[TigerForce]

C'mon time hurry up ! ;D

 

[velo]

have to withstand this port pressure.

 

[skybeau]

ABC Radio just mentioned that Griffiths may have an injury in the thigh area.

 

[tannerztigers]

sun sun go away. Let the rain come back today.

Its still going to be soooo soooo wet.

 

[Barnzy]

It's a worry that we haven't even looked like scoring this quarter.
