11 goalkickers is always a good sign.

Not pretty but we dominated and we take the win. We won't get away with that outside handball gamestyle against Collingwood next week so we need to lift.

Every Tiger player had double digit disposals.

[Tiger Khosh]

Key defenders were immense.

Lynch BoG for mine.

[Diocletian]

Reverse Brownlow votes to Short, Houli & Edwards...dishonourable mentions to Baker & Rioli...

astbury and grimesy superb

[WilliamPowell]

Late goals in quarters kill us.  That was pathetic defence.

That 3rd add goal was caused by very poor ruck work
