Game Day Round 8 v Hawthorn MCG Sunday May 4thh 3.20pm

[THE_GUN]

Jesus if we had harley Reid his 4 touches for the half would be handy about now

 

[cairo tiger]

would be 3 goals up if it wasn't for umps

we know they are putrid but our skills and composure are terrible that’s we are at. we deserve more as supporters

 

[Bird Man]

Its a hard watch as we did a lot right early on just no reward for effort. The umpires have crushed this game before it could get going.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

theres only so much u can take re corrupt umpiring

today might be that day for me

CFL was never gonna allow any chance of us winning this after the hawks circlejerk pregame

 

[tropicaltiger]

if dow doesn't dominate the 2nd half and continues as is, he needs to be dropped, but they'll cite his 1 good game against melbourne last week as why he's still in the side and not kmac2

dow and macca will keep getting a game if form is solid enough. superior fitness over younger cubs.

 

[docko911]

On a positive note, I think Brown has had a really good game.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

15-4 frees in a half of footy

and 2 goals reversals

****ing disgraceful umps.... Standard viewing

Impey, beating on an 18 yr old kid, had an absolute nothing career so far to warrant his chirpiness

 

[Groupie_]

when was last time the pies were on 4 free kicks at half time ?

 

[_RT_]

Nothing major going wrong, it's just the lack of execution when it's really needed that is hurting us. Didn't mind Taranto giving away the 50m penalty to Sicily as he was standing up for a younger teammate in Rioli who Sicily gave a bit of lip and treatment to. It's another learning experience for us on how to deal with a very well structured defensive unit. The positive is that we are still getting our fair share of time in forward half, but as I said it's the lack of execution going inside F50 that is hurting us and that happens when it's a pretty young line up in support of Lynch.

 

[voorhees]

There has to come a point where the media at large realises how much the umps **** us up every game.

don't count on it

 

[Muddiemoose]

Still can’t believe Impy in that little biff

Should cop a week
Went straight for the head of a downed player

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Is it game plan?

Their first instinct to corral and wave arms around instead of tackle?

Possibly trained.

Maybe the STAND rule/outside 5 thing just infected them all.

 

[Lsta062]

Lynch has never moved well.

But, he’s always slow to get going.
His hands are still some of the best in the comp and he’s still pivotal to our forward line.
It’s our entries into the forward line that don’t help him.

He struggles to compete against his opponents. They’re running rings around him. When he does mark, he misses way too much.

Compare that to 2022. He’d smash most defenders one-on-one. He’d kick goals from even difficult angles. This is a very different Lynch. Wonder how long it’ll take until he gets back to that

 

[biaseddustyfan]

**** Sicily talks a lot for a bloke who's shit the bed in every big game he's been in.

he's a spud

 

[sante]

I don’t get the melts. What did everyone expect? We’re fighting hard, just not good enough, and we are playing a potential top 4 team, we are bottom 2 team.

As long we fight it out, that’s all that matters

He never will.

Nothing to worry about in regards to Lalor lol

 

[richoplzbreed]

Can some explain to me why Impey keeps running off half back with no one on him. It’s not ****ing hard to man up.

Shhhhh that's MRJ's man. Don't point out his direct opponents carve us up week in week out. The fan boys will have tantrums.

 

[TigerTime17]

Its a hard watch as we did a lot right early on just no reward for effort. The umpires have crushed this game before it could get going.

Another putrid performance from the umpires.

Taranto needs to lift, Rioli needs to get himself into general play. We need to lower our eyes going into our 50. Lynch is double teamed so we need to look for other free players.

Doesn’t help that the ball often bounces straight into their hands and the lazy Hawks out the back are like seagulls. Hawks have been lucky on too many occasions.

 

[Lsta062]

He never will.

Don’t say that, at least not this early in the season

That lunch is gone.

3 tackles though… equal most for our side

 

[tigersab]

All about hawks pre game and half time. What about Hoppers 150th. No mention.
