Autopsy Roast & Toast Round 23 vs Brisbane, changes for Qualifying Final vs Brisbane

[Matthew45]

Yeah, we overpaid to get him. Should of kept Miles.

He's been great overall this year, but didn't impress me much tonight. Maybe he was busy doing tagging things. Dunno

Toast: The sweet, sweet flowing of vintage tears on the Eagles board right now - mostly directed at us.

Can’t be worse than this week

oh it can

 

[Drofder]

How do people say they didn't notice Neale? 52 touches. 25 contested. They murdered us in the guts.

Exactly. He dominated. Got it off to team mates in the traffic time and time again. BOG easy.

 

[db26]

Let's not forget lions were on a huge winning streak and a red hot team in form.

 

[tora tora tora]

we will outnumber them in the stands next week

Don't think so. The bears fans are up and about. The cats game at the gabba sold out.

 

[Matthew45]

Strange win, felt in general play the Lions shared it around much better than us but didn't seem to work our defence out. We at times were quite clunky moving it forward but found ways to score.

Where we need to improve is when we do have momentum we have to stop the over use of the ball inside 50. Too many times we stuffed it up with an extra kick or handball that wasn't required.

All in all a good win, mission accomplished making the top 4 and plenty of improvement left in us. Both teams appeared a little flat after their respective games last week which was to be expected.

Nailed it. Bravo

therell be 10k from up there and 15k from here. bears fans dont know how to buy finals tickets

 

[GoTigers2015]

In Marlin, Nank
Out Short, Balta

 

[Sir_Loin]

Had little impact tho with with his numbers.

Only because of how good our backs are on the intercept. They got enough inside 50s to worry us IMO

 

[captain blood 17]

Awesome job to finish top 4 with the year we have had injury wise. Absolutely stoked. We have beaten 5 of the top 8 as well.
The game was very frustrating. It should have been over by halftime. We over used the pill big time. The umpiring was a disgrace. That’s all i have to say on that. Having said that, the lions played some good footy.
Out: Balta
In: Nankervis

 

[Sir_Loin]

In Marlin, Nank
Out Short, Balta

Short was bloody ordinary today. Kicking was atrocious

 

[DustinsGuns]

In Marlin, Nank
Out Short, Balta

Stop with the Marlin calls. Truth be told he would be behind about 5 in the twos at the minute. Shouldn’t and won’t be anywhere near this team in september.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Nank would be a huge risk unless he plays vfl and absolutely dominates. Soldos progression from a bloke lost in the vfl 2s to dominating seasoned ruckman in Martin and Hickey is amazing. He's also realised that most players can't * with him unless they want to be hurt. Loved his aggression today.

 

[Marmik]

Short was bloody ordinary today. Kicking was atrocious

Short and Castagna can be so damaging. They just have to clean up their disposals. They are almost there

 

[SavDog23]

As you can see, the Tigers have settled in their natural habitat...

...The Top 4.

See you in 2 weeks Brisbane. Better bring lube.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

In two weeks we get to welcome Brisbane back to the finals. Remember 2001 when they smashed us by 11 goals in a prelim and went on to win the next three flags? Time for revenge.

Balta isnt ready, his ruck work was good but just a passenger most of the game. Nank comes in for him. Imagine that will be the only change.

I am expecting we will up the ante a little in two weeks. We played well enough to win, and the Lions fought back and did enough to look like they could maybe match it with us. I am glad they fought back because we got a good look at what they can do. Will they cope with the heat of finals football against a battle hardened Richmond? Can't wait to find out but I am betting its on Saturday night which sucks for me because I am playing a gig

 

[tora tora tora]

therell be 10k from up there and 15k from here. bears fans dont know how to buy finals tickets

the internet wasn't around last time they were in it.....the fans are up and about. Gunna be hard to get a ticket

 

[Squibbs]

7-6 to 16-6 = Delicious

How you know?

[SavDog23]

Our 2nd final will be absolutely packed cause we are interstate week 1. 98k+ easy.

 

[Gak Attack]

Given the injury crisis we had, the fact we've finished equal points with first it has been an amazing effort by the team.

 

[SavDog23]

Week 1 fixture released in 4 minutes

 

[Jack5]

Bears were averaging 93 points a game. Holding them to 55 shows a next level defensive gameplan. Loving our gameplan at the moment - hold teams to about 9 goals and win by five or so. So consistent.
