Post by: froars on May 29, 2004, 04:41:28 PM
Richo just plays on when he had a shot on goal - stuffed that up.

Eventually got back with Ottens taking mark and gets goal.

It's pretty open play MT - no flooding as yet.

We're at an ad lol

But i think it's 26 to 21
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: froars on May 29, 2004, 04:49:53 PM
The difference between the sides is when they go forward they look slick

Our work in the forward line looks uncoordinated, but we're still in it and staying in touch.

Both teams look pretty ordinary at this stage.

Richo's gone into the umpire's book - don't know if it's against him or Glass.  Might be wrestling
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread

Bowden had a paddock on his own and then chips this sloppy kick into the fwd line - TURNOVER :-(

Post by: froars on May 29, 2004, 04:58:38 PM
Last couple of minutes - footy going back and forward around the middle - stuff up by stuff up by both sides.  Really bad skills, but it's a good contest if that means something lol

Fleming plants one on the chest of Richo and kicks a point :-(
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread

Stafford snaps around the body for a point. Tiges lead by 2
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: froars on May 29, 2004, 05:04:44 PM
It's helping that the Eagles are playing like we were a couple of weeks ago.  Holding onto the ball too long, thus allowing our numbers to get back.  Keep it up Eagles lol
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: Fwoy on May 29, 2004, 05:05:55 PM
Full back to Full forward...Tigers carry the ball beautifully. Richo 25 m out...Point...DAMN!

It's on Foxtel Ox lol
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: Fwoy on May 29, 2004, 05:20:37 PM
Good spirit so far. Quick game with plenty of pressure, some sloppy skills on both sides and plenty of turnovers. Tiges have dominated centre clearances, with Brown and Johnson doing a good job, and Bowden, Flemming and Tiv servicable. Newman moved onto Matera after Chaffey let him get 3 first quater goals, and kept him quiet for the second qtr. Richo got on top of his opponent that qtr, but still fluffed a few shots.

Let's keep it up for another half  8)

LMAOO...the Foxtel commentator just said the Eagles had turned the game on it's ear, but it sounded like he said "turned the game on it's rear".

Very apropos for the Forsaken amongst us  ;D

Where's the pressure like in the first half?

Same old crap.
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: Fwoy on May 29, 2004, 06:40:09 PM
Once their midfield got going, we were gone.

Flemming goals...38 poiints.
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: Fwoy on May 29, 2004, 06:44:22 PM
Geez it sheets me when the commentators say "player X found some form today". They always seem to find form against us. It's like the Geelong game when Danny said of Ben Graham something like "we knew he had a good record against us, but who would of expected him to do that?"

Does our match committee prepare for all their playes, or just assume that "player X is only a rookie"
and "plyaer Y is out of form"?

BTW...2.5 to Richo today.

ken judge comments on why frawley waited until the end of
the last quarter to play 3 talls in the 4ward line.
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: froars on May 29, 2004, 06:46:20 PM
Scoreboard flattering to us - it should have been a bigger margin with Eagles kicking 9.10 after half time to 4.3.

Pathetico!
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: Fwoy on May 29, 2004, 06:57:50 PM
yep...very disappointing second half
Title: Re: Tiges vs Eagles thread
Post by: mightytiges on May 29, 2004, 07:11:20 PM
Same old same old. The opposition step up the pressure and we can't go with them both physically and skill-wise. Our grinding gameplan keeps our score low yet can only hold the opposition for so long before they break it open. Too many passengers that leaves too much to too few!

To be honest it was our intensity and that the Eagles skill errors were as bad as ours that kept the game close for the first half. Once they started hitting their targets and winning the ball out of the centre in the third quarter as our intensity completely fell away, we were again blown out of the water - 7 goals to 1  :(. The skill levels deteriorated once again in the last as both sides went through the motions.

They seemed to go through Campbell's direct opponent (Chambers) a fair bit in the second half too...exposing his pace.

Agree Fwoy. Same last week as well (Josh Mahoney). Cambo obviously hasn't been 100% since he's come back and is struggling for pace. Maybe play him up forward (a la Voss) as Cambo's a pretty good lead and mark.

LOL just thought I'd read this thread considering i was at the game.

LOL @ froars optimism when we were 3 points up and then in a true Richmond like performance comes crashing down!!

2 things i got out of this game


1. We will be lucky to win another game this season with the skill level we showed today

2. West Coast wont win outside WA this year
