Tigers vs Crows game thread

[Get me a pie]

we should be in front

[Muscles]

1.6 with the breeze is a game losing quarter of football. Jack up on the wing, almost, where the ball ain't, Jake as a marking target, Vickery somewhere, but not a target.  It's the same mystifying game plan as the third quarter with the wind in Cairns.

Yerp.  Hopefully we tighten up in the second half.

[yellowandback]

Van berlo, Vince and Thompson have nearly 30% of the Crows possessions.

They need to find a way to shut them down.

[Muscles]

It's clear we are not tagging any of the Crow's midfield, which is the Collingwood plan. But the Skunks mids run hard both ways, maybe even harder defensively than in attack.

Van Berlo and Thompson showing us how it is done.

After all these years of everyone and their dog knowing our skills are crap, well they are still crap.  When is it gonna change?

[one-eyed]

Add 82 handball receives to our 47.
54 short kicks to our 18
We have had more long kicks. 26 - 18.



The SEN commentator has Vickery in the bottom 5 despite two goals.
Jack, Miller and Grigg also in their bottom 5.

[Muscles]

If we want to win, we need to play them one-on-one.  Seems we want to play zones, though.  Hope we've got a couple of strong bodied mids in our draft sights.  Players who can run both ways.

reiwoldt is just a big sook

Yep disposals has been crap. Too many long aimless bombs rather than having players further up the ground doubling back and continually hitting up. The midfield hasn't been working hard enough both ways.

Nahas and Rance probably our best so far.

[mightytiges]

Miller centres towards Kingy but Johncock spoils it through for a point.

Adelaide then goes coast to coast for a goal 

Rich    45
Adel    67

Nice mark JR8

[mightytiges]

Cotch out of the centre to King who marks with the flight at HF. Goes long to Jack who outmarks Rutten one-on-one. Goal 

Rich   51
Adel   67

SEE how stuffing quick the umpy was for a very very soft over the shoulder...  hasn't paid one to us though but hey this was a chance to gift them a goal.
