Tigers v Hawks game day

[leon]

Graham is a real worry

Why was he picked after last week? Misplaced loyalty. Sure he was a heroic last year but clearly struggling this year. Poor form and shoulder too weak to stick a tackle?
KMac is the pick to play on Isaac Smith; stopped him last year. He's killing us tonight.
Rioli poor last week; same tonioght. Missing. Doesn't handle the pressure any more?
Stack has actually been far better than last week. Has had to mop up after a lot of messy errors. At least he's really putting in.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

I’m going to take this as the wake up call we had to have. Completely unfit. No running at all and skills are deplorable.

 

[zippadeee]

The 10 weeks off has totally unhinged us.
We are playing like we did all the back to 2010

Is HW ranting now or is it khumbaya?

 

[Tenacious]

A bit sad watching that. Really bruise free football. The season will slip away really quickly with efforts like this. One touch between George and Daniel so far.

Wow

 

[year of the tiger]

Just going on the record to say I still think we are going to win this game.

Started to find our rhythm defensively that quarter, we just need to tidy up our ball use and break some lines and the confidence will start to flow.

agree we will click at some stage but I can’t see it happening tonight - hope I am wrong

Hawks are getting players back real quick in their defensive 50.
Whenever we kick forward there are usually 2 or more Hawks players than the Tigers where the ball gets kicked.
We don't even look like taking a mark on the lead in our fwd 50.
Just playing dumb footy, compounded by poor skills.

 

[zippadeee]

Corona virus has destroyed us.

 

[graystar1]

It is many years since I have seen such an insipid team effort. Where is our usual run and leave the opposition standing in our wake?

Can't blame the umpiring as we have been the recipient of many frees.

I did say in another post that we would give away frees in the forward 50 and so far that is true. 3 already, but that is not why we are being pantsed.

Will watch the second half with interest only, as I do think we are done like a dinner. Hope I am wrong, but something needs to change.

The Stack one was correct. If you are off your feet and take possession you must dispose of the ball. It is in the DVD every year.

Wasn't on the ground by choice. Felled in previous contest so didn't dive on it. You are allowed to continue to try at the immediate next contest when you find yourself on the ground from a previous one

 

[ToraToraTora]

Haw have set themselves for this and they don't look nervous at all. We'd have to bang on 4 quick.

 

[Ridley]

It's easy to blame Marlion and Stack, and they have certainly been horrible, but geez some of our senior blokes have been pathetic.

Dion and Lambert and Rioli look about as interested as I am when Bridget Jones Diary comes on telly.

We're outnumbered at every contest!!

True they have a lot of mates. Prestia has been woeful the last 2 weeks. Rioli geez when he's bad he's diabolical.

10 minute qtrs
2 hour breaks

 

[BrisTiger24]

Grimes our leading possession getter says a lot.

Our midfield is non existent. Forward line are still in iso

 

[waiting]

It’s a pattern that’s been developing with poor first half’s.

Yes against Carlton was not.

Where will the spark come from?

Our smalls need to get into the game. Front & square if we keep kicking it long. Got to stop just this long kicking as the Hawks are picking us off with intercept marks.

Ball movement was a little better that quarter but so many players collectively are having shockers.

Third quarter will tell us where this group will go beyond this game.
The character & belief has to be there. It can’t just disappear.

32 pts is gettable.

Up to Hardwick, Cotch & the leaders.

 

[tommystigers]

Thought last week was bad , this is worse.

We are playing with the equivalent of about 14 players on the ground. Castagna Rioli Riewoldt and Lynch could stay in the rooms and the game would be no different.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Is Ross playing? Haven't seem him at all.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

We are getting smashed in the ruck too.

incorrect stack was on the ground when he tried to re gather the pill, stiff but umps got it right, if you are on the ground you must knock it away

 

[zippadeee]

We are tooo small.
One marking option isnt good enough.
Thank god for grimes astbury and big V.
Pickett shocking
Stack out of form
Lambert Rioli and castagnfield nothing
