what does richardson have in his head

[mightytiges]

It's now over.

[mightytiges]

Browny gets his 3rd.

[mightytiges]

Jacko goals. Not giving up. Within 3 goals with 5 1/2 mins to go.

[mightytiges]

Edwards' got it but misses. 

[Ramps]

they need to fight it out to the end.

[retygas]

How's our fearless leader going  ?

[mightytiges]

Simple fumbles and turnovers have killed us this quarter  . 3 in the last 3 forays forward. Just couldn't cope when the pressure went up another level.

Lost by 17.

[Ramps]

no one should be downhearted. it was a really honorable effort that keeps our draft strategy still in place.

Told ya we should have gone for Rix.  Did you see our beloved Captain stuff it up (for something different) and result in the opposition scoring?  How often did Gehrig go off his brain at his team-mates?  And people comment about Richo?  Foley was superb in the first half till Ball worked him out.  Did Petts get reported - they didn't show it on our coverage.  Gotta hand it to Harvey - the man is an ironman!

St Kilda to me is the club we should try to emulate.
They should have been run off their legs in the last quarter, but they just work real hard.
Good game by us I thought, with a few players down. 
Don't think the Tiges would have lost too many fans tonight and still show there's good times ahead I reckon.
Probably everyone here hates him, but I would have loved to have had a Robert Harvey play for us.  He's an absolute champion!

I'm not. Can't have a go at the effort from most of the boys. Lids and Tambo probably only the most disappointing Tigers out there. I was surprised seeing Lids had ended up with 18 possies.

The game showed again what we're missing. A bigger body defender to handle the gorillas and another classy inside ballwinner or two to help out Foley. Simmo wasn't match fit even though Patto wasn't too bad. We lost the hitouts again.

Plough also experimented with match-ups  . Raines on Riewoldt instead of using Thursty. Thursty on Gehrig instead of using Joel.

Samashed in the middle, Tuck is a Dud

Only decent onballer is Foley.

Tuck gave Hayes far too much room and he hurt us big time.

How Wallace let Montagna run free all night is beyond me.

[Ramps]

Some serious match up issues tonight, but in the run home to end the season i expect to see it more often. Melbourne play Carlton next week and things will become clearer.
