Papley BOG, single handedly kept us in the game when Richmond were surging in the 3Q. 6 goals and a stack of possessions. Great game.

Heeney showed us what he's capable of in the 4Q. He really brought it home for us.

Blakey was an absolute rock in defence. Played on talls, mediums and smalls. Best of all, even though he had to play tighter than usual, it still did not effect his offence.

Mills, Gulden, Warner, Ladhams, Fox and Campbell all solid. Most probably Campbell's best game to date and he worked really hard.

All up, we came home well. Still a few passengers out there and there's definitely scope to improve the side, injuries permitting.

 

[Citrus22]

To lose all 3 key defenders in one week and defend with that much intensity and commitment all night, seriously impressed.

 

[bloodsbigot]

If this were the WWE, tigers would be the cheating/cowardly heels.

 

[ShireSwan]

Kane Cornes absolutely pillorying Richmond over the Hopper and Taranto deals.

Scintillating repartee

Hopper and Taranto with 30 plus and plenty of meters gained. Not in it without them.

 

[SSwans2011]

Loved Gould (legally) cannoning into a Tigers player towards the end when the hard ball was there to be won. Still pretty miffed he didn’t start, but I'm happy to just take the win without dwelling on the negatives all things considered.

papley off on the piss tomorrow.

He gambles responsibly though

This is AFL, they still are.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Agree.

Like what I have seen from Corey

Yep I thought he was good in some heavy traffic and showed some solid composure. Missed a couple of tackles early but I’m sure he will be told and learn from it.

 

[Wolfgang West]

papley will have to be bog sorry blakey

Agree but Lizard sensational effort

 

[bloodsbigot]

Bloody Tommy papley take a bow. You little mini fox terrier dynamo.

 

[SSwans2011]

He gambled responsibly though

Only gets a pass from me for that because of his performance tonight lol

 

[Citrus22]

Nice seeing Blakey get an interview
