Discussion Thread - Round 2 vs Geelong

[one eyedtiger]

we cant play in a zone when it is tight, we have to play man on man.

Exactly the cats chewed up 2 or minutes and then scored. Down by 19 2 minutes left.

 

[bigdroppunt]

Ill jump in before the game is over.... and say... well done tiges.. everyone thought you would get pumped today... and i rekon you have really pushed us... after last week.. and all the shit you have copped this week... this is/was an effort to be proud of

 

[coke_zero]

bad luck boys, hold your heads up high.

 

[_RT_]

Bad luck boys a much better performance this week though and it is something we can build on in the coming weeks

 

[Themi#9]

unlucky

 

[krustyman]

another honorable loss to the tiger!

 

[coke_zero]

we were playing 100% right to the end even when we could not win, this is a great effort. get ready for all the supporters to be back on the bandwagon.

 

[Jisha]

Not a spiteful post at all. We lost and thats hows it will go down but....

Geelong are the most cowardly team I have seen this year. Be prepared for a lot more pathetic dives Geelong fans. You do not deserve 4 points.

The amount of pathetic umpire decisions going your way won that game for you. You are a premiership team for the A-League.

 

[coke_zero]

one more thing we need to kick the goals when they count, oh and polo played very good today, why was he not in last week?

 

[randyzany]

Well done tigers, showed plenty of spirit. This display should keep you in good stead for your next game.

 

[acr2751]

better effort than last week but were still a long way off the pace we couldent stand up in the last 1/4

 

[TigerAntho]

respect is back somewhat.

Despite the loss proud of the boys...someone said the zone didn't work at the end and agree, we needed to go one on one in last.

but good job...the doggies game should be something!!!

 

[one eyedtiger]

Game over cats by 20 points.
Really good effort today. The cats class and skill shown through in the end. A bit dissapointing seeing as we were so close but still to go down to Geelong and really push them was great. Polo was good, Lids had a pretty good game. Richo well what can you see he was Richo. A champion. Rance and Hislop really impressed me today. GUS was ok. Nahas did not do to much. I said if we lost by under 5 goals I would be happy. We lost by 3. We played well. If we can do this against the dogs we will go close.

A standard of play has been set now and you'd we can equal or better that for every week of the year from now on.

The umpires murdered you blokes today. As if it isn't hard enough playing the cats at kardinia, to get dealt the sort of bullshit umpiring in the third when you had the cats by the throat is absolutely disgusting. I cant believe how many goals came from the umpires, you should of been at least 4 goals up at 3q time.

You had that team absolutely rattled. Congrats on a fantastic contest.

I am glad supporters of other teams noticed it

those frees and stupid turn overs cost us. but they can be fixed we are back on track now i think.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Did anyone catch what the free-kick to Ablett was for deep in our 50 while we were a goal up? It looked like an absolute textbook tackle with nothing even remotely close to an infringement involved and yet he was awarded a free-kick, the ball was cleared down to their end for a goal. I couldn't believe that decision.

The umpires ineptitude balanced out in the end. To say it favoured us it's just plain bias.

Yes, bias from a neutral supporter...

How can it be bias when it is coming from an opposition supporter? Or do you think 4 goals from soft 50m penalties is justified

Yeah I saw that DW. It was bullshit. A real turning point in the game

I rekon if you had a nice bet on.. it could be good cause for bias

im a bulldogs supporter and have no vested interest in either team.

Ii commented on what I saw and in the 3rd quarter when the heat was on and the game hung in the balance, the umps handed you the game on a silver platter. The tiges had you guys beat and should of had at least a 3 to 4 goal lead going into the last. Would of been a different game in the last I imagine.

no matter what anyone says GOOD TEAMS DO NOT THROW AWAY LEADS IN FINAL QUARTERS, no matter how much they are in front. Geelong beat us because we could not give a yelp. not because we were spent but because we are not that good a side.

Don't care if this upsets people, the truth is out there. We are either not fit enough to run out a game or we are not skilful enough to match it, its straight out one or the other.
