Re: Game Thread v Tigers
midfield got killed in first half of that quarter. Second to the ball is never a good starting point. Mentally I'm an not sure where joey is at, armo quiet and steven still not at his best.
Worked back into it thanks partly to some great pressure and run from the likes of wright, also we pushed numbers back and then slingshot.
Like spencers work when he gets it, needs to work harder to create leads. Big bodies need to block for him but good start.
Just need to up the pressure, tackling and hard ball gets is what I will be looking at.

Re: Game Thread v Tigers
Hard to tell watching Foxtel....my guess is he's playing half back as usual...Fisher also kicked a goal and he's playing in the backline too....Our forward line is difficult to describe...they're mostly not in the forward line......And I reckon those green magots may have sympathy for us...a couple of soft frees...bergholt wrote:Yeah, I'd be interested too. 7 touches and 1 goal 1 behind at quarter time is a solid return. Making a late bid for retention next year?Russman wrote:I don't have foxtel, can anyone tell me where Shenton is playing?

Re: Game Thread v Tigers
Is Richo the worst motivational speaker we've had ?
In most of our losses this year , the game has been as good as over at quarter time .
I know we don't have the talent but FFS i'm sick of watching shite 1st quarter's .
What the hell is he saying ! cos it ain't working .

Re: Game Thread v Tigers
For someone who doesn't have access to tv can somebody tell me WTH is going on? From what I can tell from the AFL app the tiges kicked 6 without us getting near it and now we've kicked 4.3 to 0. Looks like we're all over them.
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.

Re: Game Thread v Tigers
we will never be any good if we run free and kick the ball across ground to a contest...jack this is why you need to cherish your disposal to be valuable to us not 50/50. Why would you kick from forward flank to chf to a contest ffs
