Top stuff, Tiges! Important win going into the bye  .

[Assange Tiger 😎]

How awesome was that

and what about Rioli's effort in the 4th...wow

[eliminator]

13 tackles by Graham. Beat the Ablett curse.

I had to go out today and didn't get to see any of it. Can someone paraphrase the win for we unlucky and drenched souls? Sounds like Graham had a good game from the tackle count mentioned. Was Ablett any good?

[Tiger Khosh]

Very important win going into the bye and very good performance by the boys in the wet.

Best: shedda, Lambert, rance, vlastuin and Amigos.

Also thought Higgins looked very promising playing in the middle would like to see more of that. Macintosh and broad poor again, not gonna judge Garthy harshly on his first game. Prestia back after the bye will be huge.

Was short OK? How was Garth in game 1?

Hard fought, especially considering we were down almost 3 goals at quarter time. They got everything from the umps when the game was on the line (surprise surprise). Just a little cleaner through the middle of the ground and were able to open up space going forward when we got a run on. I think they got 3 from frees in the 2nd half in a low(ish) scoring affair.

Abblett showed glimpses of his best, but a shadow of the player he was 5 years ago. Perhaps not perfect conditions for him.

Can anyone explain why the Dangerfield smother late in the last wasn't a free kick? Are you just allowed to stand in the protected area until the ump calls play on and then run in to contest?

Most satisfying win of the year so far  .

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Not a great day for the umps.
Paid far too many frees given the conditions and completely lost their way in that 3rd qtr which effectively handed back the momentum to the Cats. Our response in that last q was a timely reminder to the rest of the comp that our back to back credentials are well and truly on track. The desire to win hasn’t changed from last year, if anything it’s increased. Floss, Jack G, Shed and Lambert were huge with great cameos from the big 4 and our missing link from 2017 - D Rioli

[tdy]

I seriously do not get why we lose the free kick count every week. We aren't a dirty team or it doesn't look that way toe

Thought Broady was good. Don't underestimate Jacky R's game. Very important today

I thought Tigga was our best today.

Don’t know with broady, seems to drop more marks then he takes especially in contested situations. Took a nice one in the fourth but dropped an absolute sitter in the third that i think resulted in a goal against us.

Undoubtedly that apologist for poor umpiring Steve Hocking will come out and try to spin it as being the right call.

But I have been very critical of Butler giving away soft 50m penalties for less than that effort of Dangerfield appeared. Bizarre decision.

But I reckon Dangerfield was protected species No.1 today. Got Rance with front on contact in a marking contest when the ball was a lot more than 5m away, and Geelong still got the free kick.
