Tigers vs Hawks

[Smokey]

While it wasnt the best game i have seen, it was great to beat the Hawks at their own game.

We ran the moving defensive zone well today and gave them their own back.

Good point TFL.  Richo apologized after the match be cause of the nature/look of the game but let's give credit where credit's due and lay blame where blame's due.  Hawthorn play this style in most games and didn't have the capacity to overcome it when chucked back in their face today.  Exactly what David King said pre-game - "after they evaluated the Hawks v North game the coaching panel thought it the best way to approach them".  We tried a similar game plan in the earlier meeting and it nearly worked - refined it and got it right.  Yes, I can see a real case for sacking the coach and all his assistants at season's end.

What a GREAT win! Buddy's got a LONG way to go before he is even a shadow of Richo!

CUB I want you to repeat those lines pre game from now on, it seemed to work lol

A very disciplined effort today where we were hard at the footy and fantastic to see all those Hawthorn trolls leave 22 mins into the last quarter after Richo's goal. As for Roughhead he hardly troubled the scorers and Williams was just as inconspicious other than a last quarter goal. Hawk big guns were just quiet and off their game today due to our pressure and effort.

Spot on HT. Our most disciplined performance for the year IMO. We also played the whole 4 quarters for a change. Sure we did that too against Freo and the Eagles but to do it against a top 4 side was the most pleasing thing to come out of the game today. The Hawks did have the momentum of the game at times but we held our nerve and didn't go into panic mode.

The pressure was on big time at the start of the third, we can do it

huh  ???

I thought we were very good today, lots of good signs, unfortunately freo didnt fire a shot against st kilda, we need to finish the season well with wins against freo & melbourne.

[bushranger]

I didn't see the game but was really happy and I totally agree that to have a win against the freeo floppers and the dee's will be a fitting end.

I think there may be a degree of sarcasim in this comment Moi.

Just watch the match ups & the pathetic coaching against Wallets beloved Hawks this weekend
it will show to the Richmond supporters that he does not have RFC in his best interests
he will do nothing in the way of coaching to give us a chance of winning against the Hawks

Lets frame this post for all to see!  Haven't seen someone make a statement like this and see it proven oh sooo wrong in all the time I have been on this forum.  Thanks for the entertainment Monk!

Right up there with the day when JFK said to Jackie..."Honey Its a beautiful day...lets drive with the top down!"
