A reversal of fortunes from the first quarter with the Tigers dominant in all facets of the match, not least of all in inside 50s where they lead 12-5. The Tigers have also reversed the Giants' clearance domination, leading the count this quarter 9-7.

Great stuff. Now just gotta keep it up

[mightytiges]

Cotch and Dusty lifted big time that qtr. People bag Cotch but you could see early in that second qtr that he said enough is enough and won a few key contests that turned the tide. 

Lambert and Titch (aside from that missed goal) were good too.

[mightytiges]

The Tigers' turn to hold their opposition goalless and the Giants were only able to register one behind that quarter to the Tigers' 4.4 (28). Martin unstoppable that quarter with eleven disposals, including five clearances and five score involvements.

Nankervis and Soldo aren't doing much both need to lift.

Cotch lifted big time but id still like him to get more clearances now that we don't have Miles in the team.

Grigg is playing crap as usual.

Prestia has had only 2 effective disposals in the first half and that's unacceptable

[one-eyed]

Confirmed: Greene reported for punching Rance.

[mightytiges]

Mummy bad turnover. Dusty over to Jack and goals  .

Rich  5.6-36
GWS  3.5-23

[mightytiges]

Broad does well to Macca to Edwards. On the boundary set shot. Misses.

37 - 23

[mightytiges]

Edwards to Butler streaming through the centre. But the ump pulls a free off the ball against Jack in the square and GWS gets the free in the middle  .

[mightytiges]

C'mon Tiges. Don't allow these repeat entries with quick blind kicks out of defence.

Cotch through the middle to Jack. Sits for macca. Runs to 40 and shanks it . Had Butler in the goalsquare too  .

[mightytiges]

Good forward pressure by the Tiges but Grigg snaps and misses everything  .

The rain has reduced GWS skill level whereas we just play the same 

[mightytiges]

Macca has it and it's 50. Same distance as the one he shanked before. Goalllllllllllllllllll 

Rich  6.7-43
GWS  3.5-23

[mightytiges]

The rain has reduced GWS skill level whereas we just play the same 

We're very consistent  .

[mightytiges]

Deliberate against GWS for the wide kick out of defence.. Dusty long and it's a throw-in 15m out. Free to Giants against Soldo when Cotch was being held  .
