Richmond V Saints

[Go Richo 12]

I thought we looked the classier side all up and had more players capable of breaking the game open. We just kept making dumb goal-costing turnovers from overusing the footy in the middle of the ground. It was hard to tell from the TV but it seemed we struggled at times coping with the Saints having an extra man behind the ball. When we had the ball we'd look up and see the Saints with the numbers upfield and then try to maintain possession which we often didn't under pressure. 

Anyone know the severity of Foleys injury?

A bruised hell according to the match reports Gigantor. Hopefully Axel is okay  .

Unfortunately, bruised heals take a long time to do just that. Hope it is just precautionary.

Awesome game, that game showed me we play a style that IS finals football, fastest game i've seen the tigers play in since forever.  i was a bit worried in the last because i thought our younger bodies were getting tired but geez they did well.. The structures stood up..

Thought the Saints were going to run over us in the last. We looked a little tired at the end of the third. Nevertheless we dug deep and what was pleasing after Nick starting sooking and got a few frees because the other kids were too rough and that Dal Santo non holding the ball we recovered composure regained the lead and held on. Stirring stuff.

Good morning afternoon, what a great day to be alive!
Make no bones about it remember that game as the day
the TIGER awoke.

Schulz had one all year for us in 2009.

celebration hangover 

We played well enough to beat them  Thats what l call a good win when you beat them & the umpires

 

Nick Rewoldt is the umpires pet & the biggest sook in football.

Great to see a positive post, where is jackstar?

[Chuck17]

He is back in the closet waiting for us to dip in form.

Gee Milne had a good game.  Morrie kept him quieter than a Chernobyl strip mall. 

Really pleased with that win. The game was played at a high intensity from go to whoa!! Sure there were a few fundamental skill errors but we proved to be mentally tough enough to lift when it counted. Umps crucified us also.

Big performances from I Maric, Jack, Cotch, Lids & Foley. Tucky was a little quiet on previous efforts but he was still doing job.
I really liked Shed's game. Especially that moment after a goal where an unsuspecting Jones was standing there looking like a stunned mullet and Shane gave him a nice friendly bump to remind him of where he is and who he is playing.

Also Really pleased with how Griffiths is progressing. Really adds height to our backline and his disposal by hand and foot is very good. Ellis also is going very well. Batch looked a little rusty but he will be better for the run.

What a great game and great night, the atmosphere was awesome and made me proud to be a Tiger supporter. Well done to the team and whole Tiger army. The beast is just starting to waken!! Benny wanted 50k members? I think if we keep up this form we should get to 60k

Benny wanted 50k members? I think if we keep up this form we should get to 60k

We will.  But not this year.

Anyone who hasnt got a finals ticket will be struggling to get one if we get drawn to play at Etihad for example. Get a members ticket if you wanna go to the finals. Digglers caravan park looks like its gonna be empty this September!

Love him or hate him Milne is pretty good, his work off the ball, positioning to best effect and footy smarts was pretty good to watch, we did well to shut him down, was The Miner on him all night?

[cub]

Milne is a great player no doubt about that, shame the door will
hit him on the rs on the way out

Oh Tiga that's Ukranian gold.

All this kind of talk has made me peckish. I'm off to have a couple of breast Kievs.
