Been saying it for weeks now. Tigers are a good side - every team has a hiccup or two. But the real genuine sides can cover the loss of big injuries which they have done. No doubt they will be top 4.
I watched this game closely and actually noticed areas where Cotchin would have been quite valuable, had he played they win by an extra 3-5 goals IMO.
Can't believe people jumped off them after round 2 (even a lot of their own). They are still right up there IMO with Pies and west coast

The Anzac the AFL presents is the glitzy version. It’s like when Breast Cancer foundations have everything pink and bright. Ignores the actual reality.
The only way I accept it and that is its raising awareness.

Maybe the end justifies the means, that's usually how I look at things but not sure this time around....

So system covers injuries again, starting to find their feet. Dees pressured em early but couldn't hold it up.

The young tiges might look like they're playing at peak, maybe but the system isn't personnel reliant.

Suffocate the opposition, win ball and chaos it forward. With speedy forwards they win the chaos ball and it allows them to score or after suffocating the opp and hacking it in they spread on the win I50 and allows short passes to Lynch and Jack.

Pressure footy is back in vogue folks, question is how do these teams (Coll, Rich, Dees) stop WC breaking down their pressure systems?

That is shocking.
Melbourne are a rabble.
A side that regularly scored over 100pts a game last season struggled to score 6 goals?!
What the hell happened to them?
Well they can't say they had a shorter off season than their opponent....

If north or the dees win the spoon this season when was the last time a team won the spoon and had such tickets on themselves preseason.

Trust me the breast cancer foundations know all too well the actual reality of what breast cancer does.

I am not sure what I just watched...

Melbourne did well in the first quarter, but then seemed to go into some ultra defensive game plan, and had nobody available to score. That was one of the most bizarre games I have ever seen in terms of tactics. Melbourne just faded into nothing....almost like they couldn't be bothered anymore.
When Gawn is rotating in the backline to mark the ball coming in rather than rotating forward, you just know that Melbourne just stopped playing to score. He spent a lot of time in defence, which is something that I haven’t seen from him before (excuse my ignorance if I am wrong). Tough to pinpoint what exactly is wrong though.
