Melkshamm the dog stood on his foot...

 

[Tigez 4 Life]

Landed like rance but looks more ankle or lower leg

Thought it was Melksham stepping on his ankle

It’s been four days since we last played, we were never going to be great.

Graham would be good in this game. Everyone’s disposal is on his level and it’s really physical. Would drop Balta for Graham and George for Bolton next week.

 

[tigs2010]

Sydney needs a few more cheapies to pad his stats otherwise he won’t get a rising star nom

Mark of the week though.

Watched Lunch closely that quarter from L2 at the Ponsford end.. he just isn't leading at the ball carrier quick enough for some reason. I would have thought maybe Jack being back upset his desire to play on instinct but I thought he was 20% off on Saturday too.

Bloke is a mountain just lead at the footy and destroy whatever stands in your way.

I get the impression our game plan is to tell him to park and for midfielders to put it on his head so he can bring it to ground. If that's the case then we are using him wrong because I agree with you, he should be leading at the ball more often.

I’m sitting right behind where Astbury did his ankle, Melbourne player pushed him into the contest and he seemed to land awkwardly on his ankle, my first thought was a broken ankle or foot, but hopefully just a bad sprain.

This. am sitting right near where it happened also.
Hopefully a few jabs and back on.

 

[Tiges1229]

Playing shit imo .

 

[Cdog71]

They’re playing two behind the ball

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Higgo 9 disposals and 4 tackles

The bad going at 44%de

Looked like Dusty was frustrated that it wasn't going deep to the two of them. Did it look like we should have been instead of the constant short globe trotter crap?

 

[Mogwai]

How and where do you even pull these stats from?

For the record last time we lost when we conceded less than 40 at the half is Sydney at the 71-80 game in 2017

 

[Tony Stark]

Watching on TV it almost looks like a wet weather game, lots of fumbles and the ball looks like a cake of soap. Unfortunately we are playing like it's a brilliant sunny day trying cute little tap ons and backward overhead handballs.

The dirty ball is the one we thrive on, kicks along the ground inside 50 would be better, defenders hate that, have to take advantage of our inside 50 dominance, it's been a problem all season.

 

[theflea]

Is there any danger of kicking straight?? heck me!! Arrested the contested ball which is good, and as others have said if we could have a better lane running leading pattern sometimes it would help use the inside 50's we do get.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Only really half a man down, cos Balta would otherwise only play half the game, but now gets swung down bsck

Hopefully Balta has ducked to the pisser and got rag dolled by nank.

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Dees had a bye last weekend, they'll have the legs, could be trouble

Nah they virtually stopped that q. They already look spent

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

If astbury is ****ed do we keep balta back or drop him and bring in garth

 

[BruceTempany14]

Completely shocked... safe streets of Sunbury?.... place must've changed

Yep been here almost 47 years , the old town has changed . Plenty of tiger faithful living here , we outnumber the druggies supporters !!
Ps I walk with a German Shepard, always safe !!

Melbourne player stood on his foot, looked broken

 

[tigernsw]

So much fumbling tonight. Need to focus on this over the 10 day break.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Stack hardly touched the pill

Saving him for a big 2nd half...will go into the F50 to cause caos and slot 3 Snags





....and finally get. Rising star nom

 

[Zoom]

If astbury is ****** do we keep balta back or drop him and bring in garth

Would rather Garthwaite in defence than Balta.

Yeah but what a touch
