Well done Tigers. Pathetic performance today but a ugly win is better than a ugly loss

I left 20min into the last quarter and got an early train.

Boring game, terrible playing style. We deserve to get mauled by middling clubs playing that hot potato bs across half back before inching forwards 5m at a time in a zig zag.

Griffiths solid. Hampson solid. Martin lethal. Some kids showed a bit.

I didn't see it. What happened to McBean? No scores 12 posses.  Not a great game by those stats.

The last 7 or so minutes was a disgrace, chip chip chip, you would think we were playing for time in the grand final. We are woeful keeping possession anyway so why put ourselves under pressure and then make the eventual turnover which leads to a goal. You can see players just instinctively going sideways and backwards without even looking for attacking options. Cannot understand this strategy at this time of the year when finals are a distant memory and especially against a side with one win for the season. I really wish Hardwick would just say to the side just go out and enjoy yourself, play on at every opportunity, keep attacking and go direct through the centre corridor when you can.

One final rant, I don't know who coaches our side in terms of how players link with each other in transition but quite frankly we must be one of the worst sides in this area of the game. Continually we end up with a player being poleaxed after receiving a hospital kick or handball. To me we run too much down tram tracks rather than diagonally which makes our players easy targets to shutdown.

Was at the ground.

Dissapointing but not on a Vickery level. But a backwards step from last week.

Lachy Neale from the dockers was on the radio pregame and they were talking about the dockers season. He said, first preseason game against richmond we won pretty easily and moved the ball well, but 2nd game we played adelaide and they took us apart quite easily with a lot of regulars out, thats when we as a group realised we were a fair way off the pace. Took them 2 preseason games to get that, took us about 12 rounds? Delusion

One of the best plays of the day was Markov sprinting into the F50 & demanding the ball & going on to kick a lovely running goal.
That was one of the days plays & what more players need to do is a bit of guts busting running.

Why do we stand off our men 10 metres when teams kick the ball in. What sort of game plan is that l don't understand it & l have coached football & all l ever told my players is to man up & keep the ball in our forward line. You will never be a top 4 side playing poo football like that

Do you win many games?

Taylor Hunts goal a close second perhaps
Hammers goal even a closer 3rd
