Slight ankle injury. I would say we've erred on the cautious side to make sure he will be 100% right to play finals.

Titch not back either.

Awesome news Grimes is ready to go.
Really important player for us when he's up and going. Will make a massive difference to our set up.
Also happy to see us going with a different set up this week with Astbury staying in.
With Grimes and Rance being so athletic it give us the opportunity to play 4 talls down back but still have the run out of there.
Need a CHF who can bring the ball to ground, maybe Pettard, and we are starting to look really dangerous..
Looking forward to the game this week.  :gotigers

I have stated in a few other forums over the past couple of years that the Tigers have the best midfield in the comp, we just don't know how to use their massive potential yet. People said I was mad,  >:(
Now they have arrived, and I truly believe that our boys have only just begun the war for the cup.
Add to the midfield, the back men, Morris, Rance and Astbury and how awesome are we looking.
If a backman could win a brownlow (don't know too many off hand that have), Morris will be the one, just watch him go.
All this goes without even having to mention the awesome forwards, it's gonna be a fantastic 15 years to come boys.

Post by: Hellenic Tiger on August 15, 2013, 10:37:29 PM
I love the fact we can bring Grimes back in, rest Newy whilst still giving Petterd a run and ensuring Titch is ready to go for the Essendon game as I am now of the notion he'll rest next week against GWS as well.
A few new and young faces for the Carlscum. To sell the rebuild they need to lose this one as I think they'll want to beat Essendon next week for the Cheat & Scum Cup and not offer their supporters hope with a mediocre list. Then again they've tanked before who says they will not do it again.

I reckon Astbury is just fine as our swingman. If Luke fails to fire expect him to be moved forward. He has shown that he is a hard lead and good mark. I hope they persevere with him in the side.

This was actually a good test coming before our finals tilt. Lessons learned: Grimes is not the Saviour. McGuane will let us down against good opposition. The sub needs to have pace. Petterd too injury prone. Matt White is more important to our side than most people appreciate....oh, and we are at our best when we play 'peddle-to-the-metal' football.

Id rather have McBean instead of McGuane.
I think the Bean will be in next week after today's performance. A 2 and 1/2 prong attack is not enough. I thought 'donuts' did ok today for his first game - keep him in next week.

Simple case today of one team with something to prove and the other flat with their eye on finals. One week to refresh and the following week a dress rehearsal for finals. Feel we needed a loss to further impress upon the players the effort required week to week and the the performance level to be competitive in finals. A few players back next week and hopefully we'll be primed come September.

Like the Swans game - there is little point getting the ball only to hand it to the opposition.
He'll just get whiplash watching it continually going back over his head.
I love Tucky but the way he is being managed isn't working for anyone.

Thought we had a shocker at the selection table... An absolute shocker.

Why we would bring in a key defender and a medium defender for 2 runners is beyond me.. Really really poor.

We looked to have ran out of legs and when their mids flooded fwd we couldn't match them for agility when the ball hit the ground. If McLean is kicking 3 roving goals then you don't have the right structure in place defensively.

Horrible selections.. Stick to 3 Key defenders maximum.

I was extremely nervous going into this game, thought after making it last week, guaranteeing finals we faced a let down and we delivered.

Think also we flirted with form a bit. I know Newman has a sore ankle, White had really tight hamstring but if this was season on the line stuff I reckon Newman would have played, ditto Kingy

Boys and Girls,

Are we really that slow? I believe the last 2 weeks we have looked like we didn't care at times. Thoughts?

Also what's go we have only kicked a 7 goals in the last 2 halves in the last 2 weeks?

Sorry just frustrated!!!

Tuck does not really work as a sub. I just can't see the point of it.
McDonough looked a bit raw, he looks the type that needs games. He will not get as much overhead ball as he is used to.

Just throwing it out there but are we going through a heavy training load to get ready for finals? Top 4 was never a realistic goal and once finals were assured after the hawks game, maybe the coaching staff decided it was best to prepare for finals - heavy training load for 3-4 weeks then taper off before finals.

Not looking for excuses but its interesting the way we've fallen away badly after halftime the past 2 weeks. Our leg speed has looked markedly slower too right across the board, I really noticed it with Lids, Martin, Houli today (they looked 'heavy'?) only Morris looks spritely but hes a unit.

 I guess we'll know soon enough

Jacko said this is the case in Inside Tigerland. And I read that Newy had said we had a tough training session this morning.  :lol

Astbury for mine was a pass.

White has done some decent things but for mine is still is the 50/50 basket. Still not sold he is best 22.

Chaplin looked slow in contrast to the impressive Jamison

Of the remaining players that worried me before the match; mcgaune. Grigg. Pettard. Jackson were as expected sub par.

I fear we are not managing the list in the correct manner. Sure hope tony Mont. Is on the money


B:  Morris, Rance, Astbury

HB:  Houli, Chaplin, Petterd

C:  Grigg, Cotchin, Jackson

HF:  White, Martin, Ellis

F:  McGuane, Riewoldt, Vickery

R:  Maric, Deledio, Foley

IC:  Tuck, Conca, Vlastuin, Grimes

Emerg:  McDonough, Helbig, McBean

Tuck was perfect as a sub against Hawthorn as conditions suited him. Lamentably for Tucky on a fast track he has little impact the slower the track the better he is.

Missed White's pace today.
I think we have bee overlooked on the track in anticipation of finals.
I still expect us to finish in 5th spot and play Port in the first week of finals.
Disappointed about today yes, disastrous no but pees me off bc it's Carlton.

Thing is this if the roles were reversed and they were in the finals and we were in 9th place going in and playing for our lives and the quarter time score was in their favour they would have won by 12 goals and buried us our season and our hopes.

It seems no matter what we do against Carlton and Nought we just can't break the shackles.

Agree Popelord. We set up like we were playing Hawthorn again with their 4 tall forwards; not Carlton playing a small/mobile//midsized forward line around Waite and Casboult.

In the midfield we got smashed after 1/4 time and looked it we ran out of options to change to a more running side. We really missed Whitey, Titch and Kingy at ground level to break the lines and crumb goals.

Overall though, we still should have won. We just thought the game was won at 1/4 time and too many thought we could cruise and play millionaires footy. The signs were bad early in the 2nd qtr when we started lairising with the ball - needlessly overpossessing and handballing when we should have kicked. A couple of turnovers and Gibbs' dob from the boundary and the momentum had swung. The team learnt another lesson in not flirting with form and workrate otherwise you'll get your pants pulled down.
