Tigers vs Eagles game thread

[TigerTimeII]

umpires are stuffed.

add farmer jackson and foley

and the collective IQ of the whole fricken team

[TigerTimeII]

Dimma needs to put Cotch on Kerr. Get Cotch involved and at least shutdown Kerr.

NicNat having a field day as well.

Rich   38
WC    72

We are just too small and being pushed aside.

Inside 50s: 14 - 30

cotch is overrated never ever puts in a good game against decent midfield teams, had a lucky game v geelong

5 goals to nil in red-time and then add their two goals in the first minute of each quarter. That's the lead just there.

Frees: 7 - 16

38 possies is lucky?!

It's our lack of midfield depth. We are too easy to shut down because our 2nd/3rd tiers are rubbish passengers with their constant turnovers.

Anyone in this forum about 6foot7 and can ruck abit - call Dimma on Monday. Farmer not for us going forward. Jackson not for us going forward. McGuane not for us going forward. King done nothing for over 2 months now.

Because decent midfields have decent taggers and Cotch is the first they target.

Simple facts, shut down two of our best and thats it folks. Doesnt apply to other teams as they have better lists that go right to the bench. Sad state of affairs but unfortunately its where we are list wise.

I'm not usually an umpire bagger, it's not just the free kicks in front of goal. The Miller one where some guy took out his legs, the Tuck holding the ball where an Eagles player had the ball in his hands and stuffed it back into Tuck and Nahas on the boundary getting tripped.

Similar team possies but handballing more than kicking.

Hitouts: 12 - 18 ...... effective hitouts we got smashed that 2nd qtr. NicNat dominated.

Tackles:  47 - 27  

Frees: 7 - 16

They certainly need to take a look at the kamikaze tactic of diving head first into players shins and being rewarded with a free. If you dive at the legs of the oncoming player then a knock to the head is a risk you are willingly accepting. In Millers case how the hell could the free be avoided, he pretty much had to vapourise on the spot

[mightytiges]

Lids, TV and Rance probably our best 3 so far.

King needs to be dropped. He's done nothing for two months.

That's just for starters too.

[Lozza]

The other issue that is plainly obvious today is we have no core senior group, most other teams have an experienced group of talented players who nurture the younger players along the way. We don't have this, basically our senior group are players who would most likely struggle to get on the interchange bench for any other club. Makes it very difficult when the pressure is applied as is the case today to actually fight through it, younger players will tend to just fade into the background, problem is that leaves no one in the foreground.
