We should be further up based on those stats.

That 10 minute lapse at the start of the 2nd qtr hurt us.

Such a familiar story for the Tiges, seen it so many times before, cant seem to back up a very good quarter. I can sense we will be overrun by a fast finishing Crows in the last quarter, once the crowd get involved it will be a colossal effort for the Tiges to win this one. It will however be sign of where we are as a team if we can regroup and take back control of the game.

[tony_montana]

When structures are planned and created and they work to a t only for a bloke to have no confidence in his own ability not because he lost it but because he has never had it then that is what kills us from taking the next step.

Last year he was perfect for us no expectation to make finals that's why he can play this year the bar has been raised and our expectations and our ambitions are greater than playing MILLER THE TORTOISE in such an active and necassary role where pace skill and confidence is the key.

Please get rid of him.

Adds nothing but stench.

Kingy's gone and Miller gets a full game woo hoo.

I say sub Miller and play with one down. We've had the week off and they played at Etihad on Sunday. Should still out run them.

Not only didn't he have the balls to kick it from 30 meters out to practically seal the game but he kicked 15 meters to the centre of the corridor to a 50/50 contest.

stupid footy in that 2nd qtr, bombing the ball to jack when he has 3 on him , open ur eyes stooges

[Ruanaidh]

Frees are 13 - 4 in our favour....Please umpires don't 'even-up' after half-time

[Simonator]

We will come out this 3rd Quarter strong ! Not as strong as the 1st but we will increase the lead and hopefully hold it to the final siren.

I can sense we will be overrun by a fast finishing Crows in the last quarter, once the crowd get involved it will be a colossal effort for the Tiges to win this one.

Crows have only had a 6 day break and travelled so I'm confident that if we keep this lead going in to the last quarter we will draw away.

Griff is slaughtering him!

[mightytiges]

Hopefully our one bad quarter per game is out the way.

Kingy being hurt has probably mucked up Dimma's plans. Elton sadly would be the one taken off having not touched the ball even though guys like Miller and Jacko are momentum killers. As mentioned Rance is having a shocker but it doesn't help when Crows are streaming down the ground unopposed. The game is an old fashioned 80s shootout. Whoever gets the ball forward quickly on the rebound without making a mistake kicks a goal. Cotch copping the heavy tag has seen our disposal efficiency fall off as the ball is in inferior hands and minds. This is where we miss Foley.

Best: Grigg, Tucky, Lids, Dusty, Grimesy, Griffs. Cotch needs help from others to legally collide with his tagger to free him up. Or push him forward.

King subbed off.
Go Connors !!

[mightytiges]

Connors on; King off.

Van Berlo subbed off for Adelaide.

Edit: beat me to it Nick
