Round 2 - Tigers -v- Geelong Cats

[Lozza]

Pretty much wrapped up by the commentators on Fox, Richmond in the end didn't have the class to go with Geelong, if we dont have the class then what have we be doing for the last 5 years?

[Ramps]

Real question marks for me on King, Edwards, Schulz and McGuane. Need to find replacements for each of these players IMHO.

Jackson, Bowden, Nahas, Graham did not do lot

I think most of us would of taken a 20 pt loss at the start of the game but we blew a great opportunity to roll the cats.Geelong to me looked a little lazy-just doing enough to win.Perhaps the Nab cup and Grand Final replay left them feeling a little flat.It was in hindsight a good time to play them.Plus the injuries they sustained in the game......we had alot going for us and we let it slip.
I dont want to hear the words "honourable loss" this week from anyone at the RFC
Well done to Polo and Rance...Team didnt miss McMahon one bit.Richo -you are a star.

Jackson matched Selwood, maybe even outpointed him, wouldn't call that "not do a lot"

We dont have enough in reserve to cover them all unfortunately. Id be bringing in Thomson and Collins for King and Edwards. Our young KPP still need time at Coburg unfortunately. And of course when Cotchin and Cousins come back they will add class to the side ...

Same, no loss is honourable, we need to play like we did in the 3rd quarter, week after week for the rest of the year, then we can start talking about honour


ps thanks for the updates guys, i find it a lot easier to come on here and get scores than to listen to the radio

A couple of times I saw Geelong defenders brushing off Nahas takles like he wasn't there. .

[mat073]

Although they have been listed in Geelongs best Selwood & Bartel didnt hurt us that much.G Ablet won them the game in the last.We needed one more classy midfielder and the result could of been different.(Cotchin)

IMO Jackson outpointed Selwood

Were we watching the same game?? I paid close attention to Jackson and thought he did very well. Whilst Graham was not brilliant, I've got no real issues with his game. In actual fact I thought he out rucked Blake on quite a few occasions. Nahas was obviously out of his depth but he did show some signs of promise.

Rance had a cracker debut. Was very happy with his debut. He will only get better....much better!!!

In all honesty apart from running out of petrol in the last, I felt the team as a whole performed very well.

Overall it was a vastly improved performance and if we can show the intensity we displayed in the third quarter over a couple more, we will be very competetive.

you know until you mentioned McMahon l had forgot all about him 

 

[WA Tiger]

Ok so I haven't read too many posts since my last but hey what a great fight back and a shame in the end. I thought Hislop was a great inclusion and he did add that hardness at the ball. I thought Polo did well as did Foley in the end but it did take him a half to get into it. Richo was Rich say no more and Jackson went great all day IMO. Sorry but Edwards needs a good stint in the gym and the seconds and Tambling or Cogs needs to come in for him, he was far too easily bumped off that ball and his skill level is that of a middle teer VFL player.

[Hellenic Tiger]

A loss is a loss whether by 83 points to a team that finished below us on the ladder last year or a 20 point loss to the Flag Favourites.
We just did not have the class and poise to ice the game in the last quarter unfortunantely when we needed to as well as building on our lead especially after we kicked the first goal of the last quarter. Live and learn I guess and makes the Dogs game on Monday week critical to our season fortunes.

[3rogerd]

if we want to anywhere we have to win these, no more excuses.
i wonder about the mental capacity of the players and this club since our demise.
