All 3 Tigers got through in one piece :thumbsup.

Way to go Mark Williams ::). Keeps Richo out of the game at FF even when they are losing when all year the big fella has starred on the wing moving up and down the ground.
If ever we needed proof that the decision to move him this year has been the correct one then this was surely it!  I was thinking the exact same thing at the time OE, just goes to show how hard it is to shake a public perception.

I am sorry if this offends but ....

For me the best thing to come out of this game is the fact that none of our guys got injured.....

As for the result etc...don't give a rats ;D

It was also stupid as it allowed Goodes a free reign to do as pleased on the wing for the rest of the game. Oh well someone for Terry to keep in mind as Richo had the better of the duel when he was on Goodes at the start.

Can't say I saw the logic of playing Richo at FF. He's never played that position particularly well. He needs space to run. Happy to have him out of the way though, less likely to be injured.

Wasn't Pav shocking. Thank god we didn't pick him in the draft. lol.  :whistle
