Soft effort from Short yet again cost is a goal. 
Self fulfilling prophecy about to occur tonight pretty clearly

[mightytiges]

Baker weaves through traffic. Off to Short who hits up Campbell 35 out. Goal! 

We get the goal straight back.

Rich  8.7-55
Geel  6.3-39

[Buddysucks]

Thought the exact same thing. Zero interest in attacking the footy or the man.

[Diocletian]

Short is an even bigger liability than Pickett.....


How about do some actual defending there Miller...

Geez Dow's lack of size & strength kills us at the centre bounces....

[Buddysucks]

We haven’t come out to play so far.

[mightytiges]

Our pressure has dropped away. Allowing the Cats as much time and space as they want  .

[pmac21]

Soft start.

[mightytiges]

We've come out asleep. Can't get our hands on the footy.

[Buddysucks]

Horrible defending by Baker.

[mightytiges]

Allowing a Cat to just waltz through the stoppage and out the front .

DEFEND TIGERS!

[mightytiges]

Dusty marks in the middle and gets 50. Goal! 

Geez an understatement to say we needed that.

Rich  9.8-62
Geel  8.4-52

[Buddysucks]

Geez we’re getting the rub from the umps tonight.

[mightytiges]

Fumbling and low % panicky decision making  .

[pmac21]

GET PICKETT OFF
Everytime he goes near it he stuffs it.
