sounds a bit like ..I wouldn't fear playing anyone in finals and we could cause some serious damage from outside the 8 if we can make it.

any danger of quoting the whole post as that shows the context of my comment?sounds a bit like ..

wonder if they will change the rules back if we win this year?
it's funny how the new rules have all failed miserably but they have barely talked about it or the low scoring. reckon if we were 7-0 with massive % but every other game was the same result as it has been this year they would be talking about changing the rules back already
T71 has a ghost writer now, this grammar is far too accurate to be him.After the bye this is our draw.

You would say we should beat saints and gold coast. We then have all of our games at the G, hopefully with the majority of our main side on the park. It is the perfect setup for a serious run for the flag. 8 weeks at the home of finals, 8 weeks to build some serious emotional type momentum. If we beat the pies for example and then WC 2 weeks out of the finals, watch the media pump us up and the tiger train will be in full swing. We do that, and I have zero doubt we will make a PF and then anything can happen.
The key for us in the next block of games.
Round 8: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday May 12 at 5.20pm (Away) - WIN 5-3

Round 12: Geelong Cats at MCG, Friday June 7 at 7.50pm (Home)
Round 13: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Thursday June 13 at 7.50pm
Outside of the crows who have smacked us at AO, the other 4 games are winnable. If we just win 50% of those games and lost to the crows we will be on 7-6 and then our G run starts. If we manage to beat either cats or crows and still drop a game or two we will be on 8-5 with a seconds side That is a fantastic launching pad.
Counting us out now and so early in the year is idiocy.
We will smash the Crows.After the bye this is our draw.

Looking at our run home and the likely returns from injury.....

All the blue games you could argue are 50/50. The games I'm concerned about are Geelong and Collingwood.....and maybe Adelaide (just because it's at AO). We need to win at least one of these games to make top 4 imo! What does everyone think?
Also, with our returns, I think Cotch, Riewoldt and Nank are the only certain inclusions when fit (and Rance if that little miracle does happen). Sooooo.....fully fit, what does our best 22 look like?
are you saying win one of the games in blue, giving us 14 wins? would 14 wins get us top four?Looking at our run home and the likely returns from injury.....

Lol...no, that's not what I was saying.are you saying win one of the games in blue, giving us 14 wins? would 14 wins get us top four?
I agree, but they have been playing well, so....Us vs Brisbane at the MCG is not a 50/50 game.
My crack at our best 22 when fully fit:
FB: Grimes Astbury Vlastuin
HB: Edwards Rance Houli
C: Nank Martin Cotchin
Prestia Lambert McIntosh
HF: Caddy Riewoldt Higgins
FF: Rioli Lynch Baker
Int: Balta, Ellis, Stack, Ross
Stiff: Short, Broad, Bolton, Menadue, Soldo, Castagna, Graham, Garthwaite
how many do you reckonLol...no, that's not what I was saying.
The three games I mentioned are the ones I'm most concerned about losing, I was saying I think we need to win one of those....
Duck yes, Watson kept going if, if, if. He sounded reluctant to me. LolWatson and the Duck very bullish about the Tiges as serious premiership threat.
We couldn’t match Adelaide this time in 2017, look how that ended up.I hate myself for saying this and the whole board will hate me also but here goes......
We cant match Collingwood.
Im now going to bathe and I expect to be red carded.

Wouldn't be going if if if, if another club was doing what we are doing with this injury list. Has always been hesitant when it comes to the Tigers.Duck yes, Watson kept going if, if, if. He sounded reluctant to me. Lol
Yes we can. They cant beat us if we turn up to play, we had two shockers in a row v them.I hate myself for saying this and the whole board will hate me also but here goes......
