I'm just hoping we're competitive for most of the game and the Hawks are the crap Hawks of the past month and they don't have another NAB Cup day out.

In all honesty MT we really have to win this one, we can't keep playing teams into form like we have been doing. If we lose this one I really can't see where our first win is coming from. I think/hope we will win a game this year but when I don't know..

I'm nervous about a flogging today because they have a number of players back especially Buddy, Mitchell and Burgoyne and as much as Skipper is a dud his inclusion gives them some normal structure in the ruck especially against our poor rucks. It means Roughead won't have to risk himself either in the ruck. I just hope we have a good start so our confidence levels stay up for most of the match and they don't get their confidence up early.

LOL WAT.

Love the passion and optimisim. Reality is that I think our only possible win will be against West Coast or Adelaide at the G later in the year.
We wont beat Hawthorn. Season on the line, they've brought back Mitchell, Franklin and Burgoyne. They'll win comfortably.

Our expectations should solely be on seeing development, spurts of the game plan clicking and players chasing and tackling as long as possible. I'd be happy if we lost by 30 points but if we were in the game at some point during the last quarter and our kick in game plan has been restructured.

We had them rattled in that first qtr Inf, we should have capitalised on their mistakes, really we should have. We are slowly playing them ito form..... CARN TIGES!!!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup

C'mon boys, really letting ourselves down here, not only playing them into form but we are giving Buddy a chance to get back to his best. We have controloed this game and now they are up by 10 points..... Oh well!!

GOAL Riewoldt, go boys, we look better than the Hawks, we need to put it on the board though.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: mat073 on May 16, 2010, 02:03:52 PM

Win lose or draw our tackling is great today, the best I have seen from a RFC team in many many years, great goal Jackson, he is playing very well today!!

Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 02:10:06 PM
Riewoldt miss, I can't believe that, we are playing soooo much better than the Hawks but we just can't get it on the board.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread

How the big flying F can people bag Tambling when he is getting the ball delivered to him like a wet bag. Graham misses.. :banghead

Post by: Infamy on May 16, 2010, 02:34:24 PM
Newman (81), Jackson (73), Foley (71) & Deledio (69) are the leading Champion Data point scorers on the field. The highest Hawks is Peterson with 60. Riewoldt rounds out the Top 6 with 59.

WTF Rance, that was our best play out of the centre for the year and we turn it over..
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 02:45:01 PM
If we can score I reckon we will get a run on and smash them, but if they score we might be done.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 02:48:17 PM
Goal to Jack (playing well today) 2 points down.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 02:54:41 PM
Well I will say it again, we are playing heaps better then the Hawks but they score again and now back to 9 points.

weldone tambling back to 3 points.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Infamy on May 16, 2010, 02:56:14 PM
Buddy gets a soft 50m to kick a goal
Tambling then picks up off an attempted Riewoldt pack mark and snaps a goal for the instant reply

Back to 3 point margin
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 02:57:20 PM
Gee we are really making Franklin look better than he is IMO, missed the goal but he is getting easy possies.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Danog on May 16, 2010, 03:01:25 PM
This umpiring is abysmal
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread

Stupid stupid stupid decision against Newman there that results in a Hawk goal... :banghead
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: mat073 on May 16, 2010, 03:12:17 PM
Win lose or draw today I believe a win is just around the corner :gotigers

For the love of god- please no last quarter blow out. :pray
Title: !!!
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 03:12:19 PM
Do you know what, we are the better side out there no doubt about it, we have played great today regardless if we win or lose. There are a number of players out there that are always bagged on this forum and IMO they have played their guts out. Jackson, Edwards (my fav), Tambling, Deledio etc... hold your heads up boys, look out next year! :thumbsup
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 03:21:42 PM
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL, GO BOYS GO, Newman playing great today!!
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread

Rance snaps a goal
66-77
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Infamy on May 16, 2010, 03:30:51 PM
Goal to Graham

72-77
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Danog on May 16, 2010, 03:31:40 PM
Need more players coming out of defence.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 03:32:55 PM
GO BOYS, Rioli is the difference IMO.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Infamy on May 16, 2010, 03:40:04 PM
Rioli kicks another one

All started from a crap umpiring decision which may result in Campbell Brown being cited

Then Matty White gets the quick reply, still 9 point margin
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Infamy on May 16, 2010, 03:43:51 PM
50m penalty to McGuane
Riewoldt with a screamer
Kicks the GOAL!!!

3 point margin 86-89

Much improved effort over the four quarters. Is that are higgest score for the year?
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 03:56:13 PM
Lots of those boys should be very proud today, Gus, Edwards, Polak, Riewoldt, Jackson the list goes on, well done to the whole team, hold your heads up, I am.. :gotigers

Rioli was the difference IMO. Franklin.....meh!!
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: mat073 on May 16, 2010, 03:58:03 PM
In terms of the big picture a great result today.

We had them on toast....A win is just around the corner.

I dont think I have ever been this happy after a loss....Today showed we are on the right path.

Yes, highest score this year.
Title: Re: Tigers vs Hawks game thread
Post by: Ramps on May 16, 2010, 04:16:00 PM
much improved today but the draft at the end of the year is vital - need to find another 3 or 4 junior players who can add to the mix. we deserved to win, but some stupid errors at different times cost us. Hardwick is on the right track- and we kicked more goals today too!

deledio, cotchin, martin- should give all of us hope!

Will be even better when Connors and Gourdis can come in.  Graham was good... if only he could take a grab.

Dead right, Gus was good wasn't he, really stepped up today, confidence will help him take those marks.

Post by: eliminator on May 16, 2010, 04:54:28 PM
Jack was very good today. 4 goals a good effort. Defence tried hard. Cotchin started to fire
