Autopsy Round 8: Port Adelaide V Richmond @ Adelaide Oval - Changes for Essendon

[DontArgue4]

But we didn't lose the game nor contested possies or tackles

The ones that matter

 

[Tony Harrison]

Heard he was injured today as was Chapman.

i think I am disappointed

"Unless he falls over in the shower, he'll play his 400th next week, which is huge for our footy club and huge for Fletch and his family," Hird said after Essendon's 58-point win over the Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

 

[Stitch]

Jake Batchelor's best game of his career. Dominated Ryder who didn't kick a goal!
20 disposals at 85%, 5 marks, 2 tackles, 1 goal and countless spoils.
I've been doubting him all season but today he stood up! Can't see how Dea comes in now.
Changes; Vickery out, either McBean or Dea in.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

However, can we play it every other week then? Pretty please? For pretty football's sake?

I'd take that every week

 

[Tiger Claw]

Where the **** is our song you pricks

Love Schebeci at the MCG where the song just never ends.

 

[Tigerforlife78]

Did you go TFL78?

Nope watched from my bed at home with my broken foot up, would happily break the other foot for a flag so im not complaining

 

[aussiebob14]

Ok that's it boys. Now get training for next week. Need to beat the bummers.

 

[tigs2010]

Gave Hunt a vote for his trolling of that potato Matt white lol

 

[Lacustrus]

Eighth, Where we belong! Go Tiges...

 

[mcuzzy]

Fox footy just voted:

3. Riewoldt
2. Deledio
1. Boak

Sigh of relief, thought they'd give all votes to Port

I thought he played on Shulz... But I agree, he has been playing well for a few weeks. His disposal by foot is very good.

 

[TyroneVickery29]

Jake Batchelor. Continues to be one of the most consistent in our team, integral part of our backline. Was outstanding today.
Where are all these people calling for him to be dropped every week? Wake up to yourself...
Go Tiges!

 

[Tiger Claw]

Huge games from Jack, Martin and many others.

Our defence was sublime.

I noticed that Ellis and Martin were clearly following the (kick it to the boundary instructions) to a T.
Especially Ellis, I wouldn't be surprised if the coach singles him out.

Rance was epic but hard to single out 1 defender. They all did their job.

Seems that Hunt can play... As a tagger. That's his game and damn he is good at it.

The boundary has become our friend again.

 

[Tiger_man322]

Next four games: Essendon, Freo, West Coast, Sydney.
Need to be at least 2-2 from them.

But we looked awesome today!

 

[Dr Tigris]

Lovely stuff.

Maybe it only took 6 weeks to wake up this year. Looking forward to next week.

Dat back arch

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Dunstall reckons we have no A graders.
looooooool

Just let everyone under rate us, it suits me fine

 

[docko911]

Where the **** is our song you pricks

They should get fined for not playing It(big fine) absolute BS, song is played after win irrespective of anything!

 

[Pounce]

Fantastic win! Port Adelaide really pushed us but we were up for the fight all game and really crashed into every contest.

Jack kicked another 4 goals and was great all over the ground! He is in some serious form at the moment.

Go Tigers!

 

[_RT_]

That has to be the minimum acceptable standard from now on in terms of our intensity and effort going forward. The way we chased and harassed on defence as a team and never gave the Power time and space to get their game going made it impossible for them to score. The way we absorbed pressure for the entire game and kept Port to their lowest score under Hinkely shows that we are capable of it when we have our minds on the job and are willing to run until we can't run any more. I also liked our attacking set up especially with Deledio & Martin in particular tonight resting forward, it just makes it so hard for the opposition to zone off and double team Jack hence Jack getting a lot more 1-1 contests.

Next week:
Out: Vickery (inj)
In: McBean

B: Rance Batchelor Grimes
HB: Houli Vlastuin Chaplin
C: B.Ellis Grigg McIntosh
HF: Martin Edwards Deledio
F: McBean Riewoldt Griffiths
R: Maric Cotchin Miles
INT: Morris Hunt C.Ellis Menadue

 

[Black Saab]

I thought that 3rd quarter effort was pretty good. I know they didn't score but to absorb the offensive pressure the Power were throwing at them and not make silly mistakes nor get overwhelmed was very impressive. Reminiscent of how they played last year during that great run. Then to take over in the last quarter was super satisfying.

Excellent win Tigers. Confidence in the team looks to be building in the right direction.

 

[Godspeed]

Jack is a champion.

 

[Tigerland]

Geez we're the classic Leyton Hewitt team... Love being underdogs.

Can we win being the huntered and not the hunter?

Who's favs next week? We're above the bombers on the ladder.

 

[tugga]

Rapt for Menadue kicking that goal.

 

[tugga]

Jack is a champion.

An A grader for sure.
