Title: A bloody DRAW!!!
Post by: mightytiges on April 20, 2008, 04:56:26 PM
 :banghead  :banghead  :banghead

Why did we concede that behind when we were 19 points up  :banghead. Bloody trying to save the game too far out. Instead of the dogs needing 4 scoring shots with 3 minutes to go it was back to 2 in an instant after the turnover. Just dumb dumb dumb  :banghead.

Gutsy effort but we coughed up 2 points  :P.

Agree we iced the clock too early but if we hadn't conceded point we would've have won. You can't give the opposition even a sniff.

dont forget richos mark over the line that cost the dogs a goal, so then we would have lost by 5 points

I don't really mind match ending in a draw. The boys will learn from this and we will be better for it in the future

But that's something out of our control like Welsh having two left feet today in front of goal and us not being 6 goals down at quarter time. We fixed up what we were doing wrong and had control of the game with 4 minutes to go. Conceding that unnecessary point icing the clock was something we could control and we allowed the dogs back in.

As long as they learn this result has a purpose. Yes it is disappointing to draw but if we had won by one point would it have the impact that drawing or losing has? Would the lesson be learnt?

We need to run these games out. It is the players that are making a wrong decision on the field or is it coming from the coaches? Don't bother answering that question Jackstar, when it comes to anything to do with TW you have no credibility.

Was disappointing to not walk away with the points but atleast we have put together two decent matches. Sure we still made some of the same old mistakes but hopefully we can build on that and reduce them as we go along.

To me the real test comes in the next 4 weeks and to see how competitive we can be.

i must be watching a different game i think he has gone worse actually.
he may have scored a goal but i think he cost us 2 maybe even 3.

richo at 33 is so much reliable than this dud

no i dont agree but thats cool its a forum.
im telling u i give credit when credit is due and the team played really well today. i am happy with every bit of the way they they played except for the last 5 mins of course
 i just dont rate this guy, not one little bit
Title: Re: A bloody DRAW!!!
Post by: {X} on April 20, 2008, 08:03:22 PM
well this guy u dont rate would be in our top 5 best and f so far, not much more he can do. he is playing key defence and having shots on goal in every game he has played.

His first half skills was erratic but his defensive work was good.

The second half I thought he was just ok.

Definitely improving.

I'd rather the two points than a loss.  At least we are still in the top 8.  To be so competitive against a top 3 side is a credit to the boys.  Probably did relax too much in the last 5 minutes and the Doggies dug in deep.

We backed up last weeks performance.

Tigers took another step today.

Given where we were 2 weeks ago ag the scum, I am happy with the result.

Shattering at the time.
In hindsight we are getting there, very happy with the boys effort.
WILL learn from that last 10, would Joel of made a difference ? I think so ....

yeah he would've made a difference. we would've lost by 2 points because under pressure all he does he rush it thru for a behind.

Obviously would have rathered the win, but on the plus side it takes % out of the equation for the season, providing it doesn't happen again.
Title: Re: A bloody DRAW!!!
Post by: Tigermonk on April 21, 2008, 11:34:57 AM
well a draw is better than a lose, The Bulldogs are known to run over the tops of teams like Adelaide who lost in the dying moments this year. We played a very good side who has a strong midfield & known to kick big scores & take sides apart from running them off thier legs, we had the better legs just not the nerves. Dont blame anyone for that lose as there was many culpruts in the dying 6 mins
Regardless that we were at fault for losing it, l'm happy with the guys effort to fight after being down in the 2nd 1/4 & we matched them in the midfield & were running them off there feet. They missed easy shots & so did we, The umpire making that mistake with the Foley holding the ball was very costly at the time, but also we got let off when Richo marked that ball behind the goal line it would have put them further in front at the time
Newman, Moore & Kingy stun me with there thinking during the game if they get them bad points out of there games things will improve more.
Overall outlook is the club is starting to produce some good football, no longer are we the whipping boys, if they can play like that
l dont care this year if they win, lose, or draw as long as they have a good go & dont play anything like that game against the skunks

What is Mark Doran going on about today saying Morris had his hand in Browny's back with 1 second to go. LOL if that had been paid a free. The doggie fans would've jumped the fence lol.

He did have his hand in the back, it was there technically but not logically, but given the umpiring on the day it wouldnt have surprised me.

Post by: Tigermonk on April 21, 2008, 03:50:08 PM
yeah it was slightly in the back but we were let off for alot of holding & niggling all day so it all evens up
Both teams played a top game its was exciting & then gloom fell across everyone
But hey we went there to see if we could hold it against one of the league fastest & fittest sides who score heavy
we accomplished everything except the win, Sides will go into games against us with mixed feelings now

Accomplished was

1. Our midfielders responded after being beaten early.  :thumbsup
2. We fought back from 4 goals down early to be 4 goals up :thumbsup
3. The team is playing a brand of football that they are still learning themselves but its working  :thumbsup
4. Our scoring shots are up & our goal tally is climbing, it matched one of the the best scoring sides in the league so far  :thumbsup
5. Wallace won the coaching dual on the day.  Eade was not happy & ranting :thumbsup
6. The movement of Richo has changed the way the side thinks in ways of attacking & defending  :thumbsup
7. Defence is lead well with Thursfield & seems more confident & flowing with Richo floating around there  :thumbsup
8. We played well on a ground we play our worst football  :thumbsup
9. We have found a running player that storms out of defence with a field of vision around him  :thumbsup
10. the odds were stacked against the players, the media & everyone gave us no chance of even countering this teams ability to destroy fast sides & we accomplished all of them & grabbed 2 points each, even there players & coach commended us for a great effort.  :thumbsup

Now lets enjoy the moment  :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :gotigers

11. We pushed the Bulldogs forwards wide into the pockets often, which forced them to have low percentage shots.

The goal chart on AFL gameday live shows it perfectly.
Title: Re: A bloody DRAW!!!
Post by: Tigermonk on April 21, 2008, 04:02:41 PM
l was surprised Welsh missed so many set shots from the same angle & distance on both sides
but we missed some very easy shots to even it up l remember Rewoldt & Newman several times very close & easy at both ends

12 that stadium is a nightmare its one of the worst constructed peices of junk built for football
people say why do they have so much trouble with sun when most grounds are out in the open
reason is the stadium is built with the goals facing the wrong way,  running around from shade to full sun is blinding & takes your focus away completely thats why players makes bad judgements going for the ball.
The roof should be forever closed on this stadium

In more ways than one.  I hate the place, it has a sterile atmosphere and will never come close to the "G" for a real football experience.  Bulldoze it and start again!

Lucky #13. No injuries at Injury Dome.

Ta tigersalive and TM. FC replayed the last few seconds and you're right tigersalive it was technically there but it shouldn't be free. Just further shows what a stupid rule the hands in the back is that something like that could potentially be paid a free kick.

You're correct.  There was also a case for chopping the hand in the contest and as TA said, given the crap umpiring on the day anything was possible.  Oh well, in the long term 2 points might prove to be a much more valuable lesson than 4.

Why change something that ain't broke. The EPL has draws and you don't see them complaining.
