Tigers vs Kangaroos game thread

Would also show Angus Graham the door as well, USELESS

We all knew it already, but that ruck contest where he was 20m by himself, and still lost the hitout because he wasn't even watching the ball really confirmed it.

I saw that and threw a chip over the top tier in disgust... Apologies if it hit anyone.

Farcical.. He was unopposed and just missed the ball..

Pretty simple reasons why we lost tonight:

* our bottom 6 or so players are so sub-standard it ain't funny.
* one and bit decent quarters doesn't win you too many footy matches.
* we played like Mad Monday was around the corner with plenty of frontrunners out there but not too many Tigers will to work defensively.
* forward entries and defensive work was terrible apart from maybe the 2nd quarter. We had almost 20 more inside 50s yet North had twice as many marks inside their forward 50. The press only works if you work hard to hold the ball in. Way too many times the ball got over the back thanks to dropped marks and weak/mistimed aimless spoils.

A jolt back to reality after 3 straight wins will be good for the whole Club going into the preseason and 2012. Then again maybe Craig Cameron took my advice from the fan forum and we tanked to avoid ninth .

Dont laugh at the start of the final qtr when after getting the first 2 clearances out of the middle somone I was sitting with suggested we were tanking ot avoid ninth by moving Dusty out of the middle

I would think that when a bloke 6ft 7" or 8" cannot out mark a bloke about 6ft 1" in a one on one contest you know it's pointless having him out there... that's Gus

Vickery started in the ruck in the last quarter and made a bug difference

We also moved Cotch to the pine and Lids back to the backline  Those first 5-7mins we had the 3 jets in there and it was working

just saying...

I just hate losing to this nothing club.
Make selfish footballers like Harvey look like matchwinners when our selfish footballers like Jako miss goals from 30 out at critical times and give away posession and stupid frees.
Nought played smarter b/c we have some ridiculously dumb and unskilled footballers.
Petrie has no right to mark that last one in the square but he did.
Season over 8.5 wins and 12th place. Lets be honest to ourselves. Prior to round 1 this year this is where we expected to be.
Most critical off season in Dimma's tenure. Needs to off load at least 8 blokes minimum and turn the list over. VFL, WAFL, SANFL draft do your homework boys.
I just do not want to see Jako in a RFC guernsey ever again.

Perhaps they didn't want to diminish his trade value - just giving us a break for a change after last week's debacle with King

Yeah, MRP only deals with AFL players.
