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

[Sol23]

Hope they don’t drop Bolton. He might not have got a lot of it but I thought he worked pretty hard and is super classy apart from that one brain fade.

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

did the yellow look that bad from your eye

FFS Shazza_ there are bigger fish to fry right now you deranged hobgoblin

 

[YeOldTiger]

People thinking Neale had a huge game, got it 50 times and went 200 yards sideways and they lose by five goals. Who is that a win for?

Give him the Brownlow, give us the Cup.

[Oprah From Tigerland]

EAD Brad Johnson, keep tipping against the Tigers

 

[YeOldTiger]

Upside, when lynch has a tough day at the office up jumps jack.
Upside, did we look amazing in the first quarter.
Upside, dusty on fire, Prestia, vlaus and grimes.
Upside, cotch finally getting match fit.
Upside, baker looking the goods
Downside, Rioli can not punish, mind not in the game and hams up the ball, not winning any 50/50s.
Downside, we could’ve buried them in the second and we got too cute at times.
Downside, Balta didn’t have the impact that we were hoping. Don’t think he stays.
Downside, we didn’t win by 70 but considering where we came from early this year it’s an awesome win .

Upside, won by nearly five goals.

Don’t forget fluffing a mark on the goaline when the ball was sailing through for a major in the 2nd

Yeah that’s the one I was referring to. That was annus horribilis

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

Geez, not a single tackle inside 50 for us today, that HAS to change in finals. Lost every stat but somehow won by 27 points

that's shocking...where were the role players to provide our famed fw pressure ? it's finals like footy , dial UP the pressure would have thought.

 

[Cotcho]

I got a pretty decent view of the ground up on level 4. To the lions credit they really set up well behind the ball and at stoppages. When they won it back the likes of Hodge pulled the trigger through the corridor really well. I thought their use by foot was probably a bit better than ours.

Their tackling was also really good, it looks like they've been trained by rugby players as a few of them came in really low and lifted us in the tackle rugby style.

Typically our style beats the opposition but this case the difference was probably acts of brilliance from our senior guys.

Grimes and Cotch will be better for it and Nank.
You'd hope we go into the game against them pretty confident. Should be a beauty. I'd be tempted to bring in Ross for Bolton but then again, their midfield pace was an issue for us at times.

Airlines are a bunch of ******* blood sucking parasites.
Just put their flights to Brisbane up an extra $100 each way, compared to any other Saturday.
Bloody disgrace.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Open your eyes. He was putrid. Again. Did he hit a target?

Agree...absolutey, was fumbley all game...outskie!

 

[Bazzar]

Last week the Eagles jumped the Tiges by 24pts in the first qtr, the Tiges ground them down, regained the lead and won by 7

This week the Tiges jumped the Lions by 25pts in the first but they were unable to make ground and eventually lost by 27.

Putting aside the CH7 views that it was a morale victory to the Lions, it wasn't.

 

[TigerImposter]

Bolton Short and Balta all out please
Nakkers or Chol KMac Ross all in

Ellis on notice also.

Bloody disgrace.

Look at flights to Syd and the from Syd to Brisbane, might be cheaper. That's what I did when we played the Power in that elimination final, flight to Sydney and then to Adelaide, saved a fair bit of cash.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Bolton needs to be more of a team player too often he gets hungry and just doesn’t even bother looking inside or out

Bolton
Balta
Short

And potentially graham on the bubble of being in the team or not

 

[Delediodamage]

First of all, great win. Meatball good again, Duz highly influential and Grimes still the best defender in the game. Bit of upside still with Ellis, Cotch and Balta all having little impact. Shorts numbers were good but thought he butchered it. Must say, I loved Brisbane’s tactic of tackling our players once they took a mark even though they weren’t in the contest. Very cunning. We love to move it fast so they just tacked us illegally to slow us down. What happened to this being an automatic 50m penalty? Also, didn’t realise that you can be given advantage when you are due a 50m penalty... never seen that before either. Then there was the free against Lynch.... WTF is wrong with umpires lately. Was Lynch supposed to just let the defender take prime position? Seriously...

Boy this board knows how to nit pick!!
Expect perfection from every player every week otherwise out the door...
Give us a spell u whining campaigners

In general you're not wrong but this comment is way out of place based on todays game.

 

[Tigerish09]

Betting companies have us playing Brisbane on the Saturday night.

Never mind what they say, what does Jaidyn Stephenson say?

Good call. We’ve won 9 games in a row ffs, thread should be full of praise not player bashing

 

[Cotcho]

Lynch had a shocker but his team mates today really didn't help him out. Even dusty at one point had the opportunity to launch it to him out the back and decided to do a silly handball. Probably 4 or 5 times we had the chance to go long to him quick and we didn't take it.

Yeah was a rough day for him but feel it just didn’t go his way a lot of the time compared to him actually being poor, it happens. I expect him to lift for his first ever final, played at the Gabba a fair few times too

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Brisbane threw their best punches and still fell well short. 22 scoring shots to 15.

Neale won't get 51 touches again
Brisbane won't dominate the clearances again.
Our small forwards won't have 0 tackles in the forward 50 again
Cotchin will play more midfield minutes
Lynch won't be kept that quiet again.

One things certain Grimes will make Cameron his bitch again.

Brisbane players will be like deers in headlights come finals. First finals in how long? They will crumble like Apple pie. Seriously best result for us was getting this mob 1st week of the finals. They will be out straight sets.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Soldo is officially our number 1 ruck even with a fully fit Nank.

How was the attempted header in the ruck contest against Martin. Hopefully Soldo can handle the pressure of finals games.

 

[Grockadoc]

Sideways, backwards, runaroundbehinds, anywhere but forwards. Was the same at the Dockers. Probably win the Brownlow for it.

Cotch 20 valuable go forward possies per game. We'll take the wins thanks.

Why not. Worked for Tom Mitchell last year...

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Broad’s best game for the year. Gee I am glad Lynch is in our team. Even when he does not kick goals, it does not matter. Oppo have to respect our forwards and it kills their intercept game.
Ivan is going to be a top line ruck in 2 years time.
Vlaustin should be made captain next year.

I agree. Thought he was huge. Got a vote from me
