Tigers vs Bulldogs - Round 20

[WA Tiger]

Good solid win in the end...just the win we have been waiting for IMO, needed to be that margin, well done boys.

Were there any injuries??

Good win but still having lapses. Cotch brilliant. Very good games from King and Morris. Edwards dangerous. If Edwards had kicked straight could easily have kicked a big bag. Newman played well. His goal in the third was a captain's goal. Happy to get one over the bulldogs

From a deluded Bulldogs fan ...

Also even with the 70pt margin I'm really not impressed with Richmond. In 2 years I expect they will still be struggling to get into the 8 while we will be making a strong push.

The bulldogs had a ruckman playing full back, a full back playing full forward and Gia who is 3 quarters female playing for them.

Williams, Griffen, Morris, Cross were out. Cooney is gawn, the Dogs have a lot more pain on the way.

Would have been a good win if we weren't playing a Bulldog reserve team and they didn't overrun us to get within 6 points.  I reckon Hardwick has an explanation for how he created that come back.

Cotchin was unbelievably good.  Thats the 70 point win right there.  This side should be playing finals.

You can only beat who you play.

Dimma coached well today. Cotch was amazing : 'Ablett-like'. Lids, Martin, Rance, Morris, Edwards, King and Grigg were all very good and even McGuane presented well. Post plays like he is a first year player gifted his first game. Ellis and Helbig still make a few inexperienced errors too but I can excuse them. Other that, the side played very well.

One thing it does show is our need for more forward targets. We are still too dependent on one player and too predictable going forward as a result.

Good win, should of been 100 +

Highest winning margin since 2008.

I also believe that this was our highest score since Dimma took over.

Cotch (ruck rover) and Titch (half-forward) made the AFL website's team of the week ...

crowd disappointing.

crowd disappointing.

Very and on more levels than just attendance
Took till 4th quarter to get the Richmond chant going throughout the stadium
As for the cheer squad and grog squad- they are always fantastic, have alot of energy and keep going through the game  many kudos to them, I would say best in the league by a mile!!

From where we sit the crowd just wasnt feeling it? imo and mostly tigers supporters as im in m15.

Maybe im just imagining it or maybe because the belief has gone for another year
