Review Rd 1, 2019: Win vs Sydney - autopsy. 82-65

[_Mike_]

Glad we dig deep, there were bad signs for a few mins when we had a lot of tired players

Watching the team sing the club song makes my heart happy.

 

[ManOfClay]

Couple of good moments from schache late

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

OMG!! Just logged in and saw the result!! I said! There will be an AMBUSH! AND THERE WAS!!!

Some good signs with some players finding form. Having libba back definitely makes a difference on today’s outcome

 

[WallyStringhaus]

My favourite part was when Caleb got exposed and had all those goals kicked on him in the goal square...

Never read into pre season form peeps!

Go Dogs!

What the heck happened at 3QT?! Did all the players dip their hands in melted butter? Why?

Luke, moving Naughton to defence needed to happen sooner. Next time don't wait until our lead is hanging by a thread. With our defence as short as it was, there was always the possibility of a blowout if Sydney's midfield had a good period, which they did in the 4th quarter.

English has to go back to the VFL. Sydney showed him no respect putting Grundy and Aliir against him in the ruck, and you can see why. He is literally the skinniest and weakest 100kg player in the AFL, and if he's not tumbling down under minimal pressure, he's tapping it down the throats of the Sydney mids (especially in the 4th qtr). He's also not a good mark at all; guys like McVeigh and J.Lloyd are beating him in marking contests easily. I don't want to pick on him too much because he's still young, but Trenners should be our ruck right now, no question.

All teams are still coming up to speed match fitness wise. Paying more attention to how we did when we were running than when we weren't. A good scare in the last quarter probably good for us, in a way.

Contested ball is back.

Can the Thor jumper be our permanent home jumper please?

In all seriousness, that was a solid performance. Bont looked in very good form, Naughton was solid, Libba played very well and Sam Lloyd looks to be a great pick up with a couple of handy contributions near the end.

Contested ball and clearances back to a very high level, I think Libba being back to the side and playing well contributed to that.

Wonderful effort by the players & coaches alike. While we did tire in the last, we were definitely the fitter team - so kudos to the fitness & conditioning staff.

Onwards boys!

 

[DogDays]

I think Smith will be better for the run, the coaches obviously see a roll for him. Was surprised Duryea was so good. Knew Lloyd would be a good pickup. Libba back was fantastic.

Most players played their roll - Williams probably the worst of the team. I think English was great and dug deep late in that last quarter.

Bont and McLean were superb late. Daniel wasn’t a liability and was brilliant particularly early. Very even team effort to be honest most players had good moments.

I doubted Duryea's recruitment. He sold me tonight. Barely put a foot wrong.

Naughton is an extremely good prospect wherever he ends up.

Great having Libba back.

SO WHO WAS AGAINST US TRADING IN SAM LLOYD FOR NEXT TO NOTHING???

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Happy for bongs Lloyd big game for him he really should of played more at Richmond but was stuck in that 23rd man role and he’s much too good for that.

22 disposals 2 clearances 3 tackles 2 goals 8 score involvements

Hope he has a big year for your club have a massive soft spot for Lloyd

Dude seriously. Have a beer and enjoy the win

 

[Chicago1]

It's been such a long summer for me. I'm so glad the footy is back. Seeing the boys fight back in that last quarter was so uplifting. Thanks for Lloyd, Tigers. You w***ers!

I hope Damian Barrett watched that.

 

[BRWB]

Naughton.

Could he be The Answer?

Very exciting.

Libba back!

Lloyds polish was noticeable. Thanks Tiges.

Like to see Smith made to earn his spot. Not quite ready yet.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Bonti very classy as usual, great to see libba back playing good footy, thought sam lloyd was excellent as well.

Think smith needs to play some vfl doesn't look ready

 

[fronkalicious]

Bonti, Macrae, hunter and Libba is a tough tough midfield to play against.

Liked Mclean at half-forward. He’ll improve there too and start hitting the scoreboard more.

No problem

Think he played a better game tonight than he ever did for us. The moved did him good.

Lots of people. Hilarious.

 

[smasha]

Rapt for Sammy Lloyd,congrats.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Duryea and Lloyd were both critical tonight. I had my doubts but I’m stoked with how they both played

 

[the conch]

Great effort and intensity for most of the game, but looking rusty with the skills and match fitness second half. Think they’ll only get better.
