The song  :banghead :banghead

Barber quartet version fits in at a Dees game  :whistle  :chuck

And that's a really poor crowd

Last quarter we've put them away

But geez we kept them in the game for the 1st three quarters

Like we kept the Cats in the QF?
Was clinical
Never going to lose

Great win! Sets up our season nicely with the next 2 games to come at the G. Players to come back, selection headaches and form will no doubt improve  :gotigers

Thought we were quite relaxed about it tonight. Same vs Carlton and Hawks. Just doing what needs to be done to get the points.

Turned it on for one quarter and put them away. Otherwise another week with no injuries etc. Just cruising...

Good win. Melbourne FC needs to do better in terms of delivering there crowd. I thought 77k was poor for the night and its Melbourne's fault 100% other than that it is a great night and it was a good result for us. I still think we have a lot of improvement left so that augurs well for us later on.

Great win and especially good to see the Tigers did not at any stage hold back when the game was in the bag. Took the last qtr on by the scruff of the neck and smashed them in every area of the game.

The third quarter, the premiership quarter, it's Dusty time. He starts to shine and then delivers in the most AWESOME fashion.

I am a little concerned that we and the media are getting ahead of ourselves here.

Melbourne are woeful at the moment.

Yep, our defence reigned supreme, but seriously, they were up against a forward line that lacked any cohesion or reasonable set-up.

Their midfield played in spurts, and there defence looked totally panicked all night. Max Gawn was the only Melbourne player who had a red hot crack IMO.

I know you can only play the team out there against you, but even still, this was a game which nothing much could be taken out of except the 4 points and no injuries.

Like everyone I love Nank. However, he is getting toasted in the hitouts. Gawn destroyed him last night and next week he has Grundy to contend with. Gawn's delivery to Melbourne's mids last night was amazing but became ineffective because they have no speed on the outside. The Pies do have speed on the outside so to me this poses a big concern for next week....

Crowd is 77k.

Melbourne home game so no doubt they couldn't fill their sections.
Really disappointing crowd. I went to buy tickets but could only find expensive seats behind the goals and had bern informed there wouldnt be any GA so couldnt be stuffed going.
