GWS is a Danger Game for Tigers (Herald-Sun)

[Tigermonk]

We need to go up there & smash them by 100 points. Percentage is our most important aspect to this game. We must crush this club on the ground. Players need to build alot of confidence from this clash.

You can't worry about the margin when you have already won.

Perhaps I should have said get into a position where the game is won and then work on the margin & percentage

Play to our structure. Beat your opponent!
... Score & percentage will take care of itself.

[Penelope]

exactly

[Willy]

you guys, if we beat them on the scoreboard the win should take care of itself.

That will hinder our game, sap our confidence and play to their greatest strengths (ala Fremantle). We should not take this game lightly at all particularly given our outs. I will be happy just to win comfortably under these circumstances. I worry when people think any game is given and start talking percentage. We're not their as a club yet which doesn't mean we should aspire to be there but we need to maintain perspective.

Beat them first at the contest and give them the same respect we gave the 'better' teams defensively. The percentage will take care of itself then.

After the Freo game why are people thinking we are no good in the wet?

A fortnight before Freo we thrashed Hawthorn in the wet, was that a fluke or was it because we played well?

I think it is because we palyed well which is what we need to do this week

You make a great point Stripes - we must show then respect, be switched on and play the sort of footy we were before Freo and the result will go our way. Don't do that and we run the risk of being beaten IMHO

[Lozza]

Not saying we cant play in the wet but second to the ball and fiddling around when we did have it is not good wet weather football, against the Hawks the rain was the turning point in the game because we were switched on, give GWS a sniff in a close wet weather game and it could be the result from hell.

[Penelope]

so the important part is whether or not we are switched on, not the weather. 
The weather is irrelevant, we just dont want to give them a sniff.

Hawthorn play a very similar style to ourselves so were equally effected by the conditions.

Fair enough point although the fiddling around thing is something that crept into our game last week and that could be because we werent switched on but moving the ball quickly is the key in the wet as once it hits the deck it can be a lottery, better up in our attacking zone than theirs. We just need to adjust to the conditions as quickly as possible, not sure if anyone knows how Skoda stands up to alot of water, they have certainly had their fair share of rain so far this week.

Great post and spot on.

Wish I was going to this but alas will go to PuntRoad for a few ales.

Time to put lowly teams to the sword.
