The only positive tonight is this may be the loss and the kick up the backside we need before September. Remind a few players the over-cute globetrotter stuff doesn't replace the bread and butter hard contested stuff.

Bolton had to kick at least a point. but still the team was 24 points down at some point and we got pants in the first quarter. sloppy performance all around. Need to sharpen up leading into the finals. A big body like Townsend should fix that and stengle maybe to keep the small forwards accountable

I love how everyone has a go at Bolton. The guy is only 19. He wasn't alone out there where errors are concerned.

We lost by only 2 points and were reamed by the umpires. We could not get a holding the ball practically all night.

stuff him, what has he done that everyone rates. He obviously rates himself as a footballer with his contract delay

seen enough
Unfortunately his biggest mistake was to pick the wrong manager....

If Townsends goal kicking is back then yeah I'd agree. He would be a good in but I haven't heard of his form in the magoos, anybody?

Terrible game of footy by most Tigers tonight and should not have been in the contest. Beaten all over the ground and extremely sloppy by most.  :banghead

Quite simply, kicking for goal was an issue along with our i50 play when the millionaire style of play hasn’t cost us as the games haven’t been so close.
You can’t kick 17 points - how many were set shots? and win games against quality.
FWIW, I just don’t think Cellis, Moore and Bolton look AFL quality against top 8 teams

Bolton was terrible, very poor game. But the Doc is right, he didn't cost us the game. He will need more time but right now, yea, he's a bit off.

Castagna finally cost us a game with his terrible skills. It goes unnoticed so often because we're always winning. But when the day finally came when we were trailing but getting back into the game, dominating possession etc, we needed the guy on the end of all the hard work to finish. And that was him on 6-7 occasions. He stuffed every single one of them.

Higgins not up to scratch right now either but a few seasoned campaigners were poohouse too

Had about 10 touches a fortnight ago and got suspended.

Corina Ellis - seen enough.....you are the weakest link - goodbye :wave

...and your sister Brenda at her pant shyting best tonight - looking forward to AT's spin on that effort...maybe he'll only give her an honourable mention in the votes this week..... :shh

Bolton -  TO FREEEOOOOOO AWAY YOU GO!!!! :wave

Vlastuin - can only conclude the week off did him no favours.... :shh

Houli - rustier than wrongandbold's trombone....... :shh

Higgins - ok it's been a laugh but the joke's over now....go back and learn to be the serious footballer that got you promoted in the first place again... :shh

Martin - how about kicking it to your own team once in  a while.... :pullhair

Castagna -  :facepalm

Leaving Shiel unmarked at the last centre bounce..... :facepalm :facepalm

Dimma - make some stuffing moves.....close finishes still yours and the side's weakness.... :help

Pretty much everyone did something stupid at some point.... :banghead

Bad conversion, sloppy forward fifty play, being cute and the poor skills of our lesser players were eventually going to cost us a match sooner or later- rather it now than in two months.... :shh


Other than that - not too worried - their best perfrmance all year only good enough to beat our worst performance all year by two points with four less shots.....see ya at 'G....:shh

I hate to say it but George cost us that game tonight- no question.

But unlike others, he at least had a decent crack.

Putrid- CEllis, Bolton, Moore, Grigg and Houli.

Most weeks we can carry a few not up to it types but today there were just too many.

Rance, Short and Jack were good.

Not the end of the world but we had better be switched on next week.
