Our poor second quarters

[one-eyed]

Someone needs to wake us up at 1/4 time as so far we've lost every 2nd quarter this year.

Another poor 2nd quarter costs us another game ...

Actually though it was our 3rd qtr that cost us the game 3-5

There were 3 relatively easy shots that we missed, nail those when we had all the momentum and we go in at 3qtr time at least 18 points up

[Danog]

To be fair, we weren't "poor" in the second quarter. Nick Nat and Priddis just went mental with the clearances.

[one-eyed]

Our team pressure, accountability and intensity dropped off in the 2nd quarter compared to the other three. The Eagles were waltzing through the midfield linking up and sharing the ball under little pressure. The margin blew out to 25 points which meant we were chasing the game for the rest of the match. The same thing happened against Geelong last week. The odds are against you winning if you are continually playing catch up footy.

have just watched the replay twice ( have 2 much spare time )
many mistakes in last 10 minutes
none bigger than Matt White kick in the last 2 mins ,need to hit a target ( 3 free players on the replay inside)
Instead kicked to the pocket in hope

Back to the magoos for Greg White. Need to upgrade on blokes like him, Nahas, King etc. Our smaller blokes need quality and size.

Combine King & Nahas and you have a bloody good player

True Jack. Same thing happened versus Cats. We just need to have the experience of close games and learn from these rushes of blood to start winning these close ones.

Whitey's kick was grabbed with both hands by Jack but he couldn't hang on to it.

There may have been OTHER options and some may have been better options, but that kick hit a Tiger.

If you can't make accurate comments about something you say you watched TWICE, then why comment......unless you have a not-so hidden agenda against one or more of the Tiger players?

Oops - I also forgot your agenda against the coaches and the officials who won't employ you. Its obvious why they won't.

whoa ekto

[Coach]

Caps were not actually meant to be on there. Apologies to Chris.

[Ekto]

Even on the radio tonight, Ox said it was a pity for the Tiges that he didnt look in board, FACT

There probably were other options inboard, but it is subjective as to whether they were better options and Ox is able to draw his own opinions which are respected. I would think that Jack Reiwoldt is a suitable target who demands the footy, just like Richo was. But I am not saying that Jack was necessarily the best option either.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially after a close loss.

But you stated that your whipping boy missed a target. Jack put both hands on that ball and was unlucky not to mark it. Your FACTS were wrong.
