Tigers vs Pies game thread
« on: April 12, 2011, 10:05:33 PM »
What will be a pass mark for us?  :-\


Sportal is predicting a 75 point flogging  :help

This is the sort of game which could get really, really ugly for Tigers. They are ripe for the picking after being battered mentally and physically by the Hawks last week and Collingwood are convinced they are not playing their best football yet and need to improve. As one former player put it, they are a grasshopper stuck in a pen full of chooks.

It is hard to see a single part of the ground where the Tigers are going to get any joy .... It all adds up to a significant footballing lesson for the young Tigers, who will be happy to escape this one with a defeat under 50 points.

Collingwood by 75

4 quarter effort.
Win the ball at all costs.
Tackling.
Helping teamates. Shepherding, blocking. Defensive pressure.

And if a teamates gets knocked over or harassed....ALL IN!!!

I have an idea, why don't we just pretend it's a bye. Lets just forget it all together this week and move onto next week...

I will be happy with a defeat under 10-12 goals.

Need I say it again, if we don't get out of the boxes quick enough and they get 3-5 goals up in the first 7-8 minutes......GOODNIGHT!!

They are trying to advertise the game as a battle between each club's army of supporters. Even have a video promoting it.

yes and wasnt it good to see Tom Hislop out on the wing make a fool out of himself.

If you can play and back it up then go for it. Hislop made a fool out of himself as did Brown and i think Bowden when they stood by and did nothing. Like the innocent bystanders from Seinfelds last episode they stood by and watched their mate get slaughtered

Since Hardwick has taken over Kingy has taken the sniping out of his game and concentrated his aggression in a more controlled manner. He is a much better player for it and I hope he doesn't get sucked in to stupidity against the filth.

"we lost the game but won the fights" is for suburban hack thugs who will never go anywhere.

controlled aggression if you can back it up on the score board is great but seeing a hack like Hislop just throw his weight around was damm right embarrassing that game.

Kingy has come a long way. He has his doubters but i got time for him. Every club needs a small like him just one though not 15 as we seem to have

Collingwood are not a machine..
Short pre-season into NAB Cup and they've been up for around ten weeks.

Reckon they may be looking ahead to their bigger games (Incl the Anzac Day clash) and may drop in intensity (Here's hoping)

A 6 goal loss I'd consider a 'win'.
