[lamington]

All hail tiger land’s left nut

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Geelong all class at the end staying out for Prestia being chaired off

 

Give me a spell.
Knocked him out deliberately the last time he played.

We don’t want their pathetic, insincere applause.

Crawl back to your corio bay cesspool cats.

[TigerLand]

Inject that into my veins. Long train ride home

[camboon]

, I got that one wrong , thought we had lost our Mojo, so glad I was wrong

[Tigeritis™©®]

Would give my left nut to beat these mongrels.

Thank you for your sacrifice 

[mightytiges]

Just reminding the media making excuses for Geelong tonight that we were missing a host of our best 22 or thereabouts players too - Lynch, Nank, Tarrant, Maurice, Gibcus, Soldo plus Hopper going off injured.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

They had a heap missing.
They problematic thing is that they lost to 16th.
Their much vaunted depth looked as hollow as their sleepy digs.

[Willy]

I told you we’d win!! 

Carn the tiges!

We’re back baby!!!

The Cats were victim to two disputed umpiring decisions in nearly identical spots on the MCG in the second and fourth quarters, when Tom Stewart was pinged for holding Rhyan Mansell and Mark O’Connor appeared to be pushed by Dustin Martin.

Scott said he didn’t agree with either of those decisions, which both led directly to Richmond goals.

Didn't the AFL last week warn coaches about complaining about the umps in their post-match pressers?

Just at Brisbane airport waiting for our flight home

Going to enjoy watching the replay this arvo 

Maybe i need to stay away more often 

[JP Tiger]

I wonder if Geelong will blame the loss on their medical staff?  I mean, 9 injured players!  Geez ...
So far they have blamed their loss on the umpiring & a few of their own players are in the cross hairs, but pretty soon one bright spark will turn on their medical staff.  Its inevitable ...
