Tigers vs Eagles matchday thread

In the AFL site's live stats it has Edwards in and King out. So WAT's info was on the money.

Wallace on SEN

* Past history - Both sides are changing so irrelevant. We've been bottom 4 material for most of those years. A diiferent side has come over this time although one of our youngest sides that we've brought over.

* Richo - we're going to be without him eventuall. He's been great but we'll still have 22 out there to do the job and get our own run and carry game going.

* Polak - Hughes and McMahon witnessed the incident and Newy spent the first night with the family. You think it's been a long fortnight so hopefully they just want to play but you never know.

* Morton - underachieved at the Eagles probably due to inexperience. It takes young blokes 3-4 years. Reckon he would have performed at the Eagles this year if he had stayed. Pleased with him especially his forward pressure.

* Key defence very young?  Going to play their best footy in 3 years time so I have the patience even if others don't. They're going to have their up and downs. Opposition going to test us by going tall today and we've lost our best two contested markers in Richo and Polak so it's going to be a test for them. But the only way you are going to find out is to play them.

Cotch on Kerr.

Eagles going to run and handball crazy. Le Cras already has a goal  .

Connors misses his set shot from 40m.

1 - 6

[mightytiges]

Schulz misses. Here we go again 

2 - 7

Simmo off out of gas already  ???

[mightytiges]

McMahon on the run from 50 - misses also

3 - 8

[mightytiges]

Cotch good run but from 48 - OOTF 

Browny finally snaps one 

9 - 8

[tigersalive]

Sounds like a very average game.

[mightytiges]

Eagles flooding and then hitting us on the counter.

Lids off with right ankle injury and in quite a bit of pain

9 - 20

[mightytiges]

It's a knee and he's gone down into the rooms 

[tigersalive]

Its his right knee.

Cant put any weight on it.

Please be ok.  

[tigersalive]

Whats the go with the Eagles getting all the frees?  ???

[mightytiges]

 

How many frees are they getting  

Our lack of talls is showing now. No good having Cleve marking on the wing.

Moore has made a few costly blues.

Quarter time

Rich    1.3-9
WC     3.2-20

Goal: Browny

[TFL]

Dont think the umpires are that bad.

We are just terrible. Out delivery inside 50 is a disgrace and we have people in the team who stop our run.

Sugar being the main culprit so far. If we keep this up its going to be a long finish to the season.

There is no excuse for anyone in our team not being able to kick the footy out in front of a leading forward to run on to and mark especially when they arent under pressure.

So far Foley and Cotchin have done this and there would be a few others, they just stood out coz they are normally better than that. 

[mightytiges]

Lids confirmed right knee. They're strapping it up. No crutches or aids. Let's hope it's not a ACL  .

Frees: 2 - 7. Blingers just got free at the start of the 2nd.

Inside 50s: 14 - 11 yet we're 11 point down.
