Not really surprising that team pressure and winning the contested footy is going to determine the winner tonight. We will need big games from Bolts & Graham to help Cotch, Sheds and Dusty in the guts. We've missed Prestia big time in there the past two weeks.

Again simple equation for us we we're better last week but we need a team effort, intensity and pressure and one thing annoying me is school boy mistakes and free kicks we need to slow it down and use footy smarts.Have to breake even in clearances and contested footy still puzzling our we led this all finals in 2020 and now same issue I know Prestia a big loss.

When we do get the ball and go forward I'm hoping to see our big forward leading and smashing packs bringing the ball to ground or marking in space.

Marshall is a big out for the Saints. Need to make the most of it.

Bring the pressure and be harder at the footy Tiges  .

Goal Graham 

Rich  1.0-6
StK   0.0-0

[mightytiges]

Sloppy. Missed handball going backwards and Higgins gets the free. Thankfully misses.

6 - 1

[mightytiges]

Wish Lynch would play in front. He's too big and for his opponent so take away the spoil by playing in front.

Grimes at F50  to the goalsquare where Lynch marks. Goal  .

Rich  2.0-12
StK   0.1-1

[mightytiges]

Short terrible kick turns it over. Gifts the Saints a goal against the run of play  .

12 - 7

[mightytiges]

Sloppy again. Making dumb basic skill errors. Our own worst enemy so far.

[mightytiges]

Baker showing our small forwards where to be at the fall of the ball and wins the HTB free 25 out. Misses though  .

13 - 7

[mightytiges]

Soft effort on the wing by Bolts there.

Soft free to Membrey too. We don't get those frees  . Thankfully hits the post.

13 - 8

[mightytiges]

Rioli against two Saints wins the HTB free 25 out. Same spot as Baker before. Goal! 

Rich  3.1-19
StK   1.2-8

[mightytiges]

Our forward entries are still ordinary but our forward pressure is better tonight.

Panicky kick by a Saint defender lands in Kmac's arms. His shot goes across the face. Sheds gathers but his snap misses.

20 - 8
