Post away ladies and gents.

Deep breaths everyone...because we're 8-4!

 

[Vitriol]

Didn't really get out of second gear and won by ten goals.

Pretty good result, hope Chaplin is ok but it didn't look good.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Astbury and Chappy......... Bugger

 

[jko'neal]

4 Points, bank it and move on. Sloppy win against an average team that turned it into a scrap.
Waits for injuries when thinking changes................

 

[aussiebob14]

Must say I am worried about Chap's injury

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Did enough to win usually when we play as bad as our 1st half we would of lost so shows improvement but really need to lift if we are going to make something of our season

 

[Cotcho]

Great win. Hopefully Chaps is ok. Fingers crossed.

Did anyone else watching the television telecast see Trent Cotchin catch someones phone, which was falling to its death? What a f*ckn hero!!

 

[cairo tiger]

chappy real worry-
who do we ahve that can handle major defensive post- griff?

 

[NZ_Tiger]

That was hard to watch. I think the goals just came too easily for us and we didn't have to work hard to lay a platform.

 

[DontArgue4]

Can someone pleaseeeeee tell me what happened with chappys knee

 

[Pounce]

It was a good win in the end. The players stepped up. Looks like we have some injuries though.

 

[The Goon]

As a bottom of the 8 side did we beat a bottom 6 team comfortably while playing well below our best. 11 tackles in the first half was completely unacceptable and seeing what happened after half time I'll bet they had a rocket put up them. Having said that, 60 points was my pass mark for the game so in general I'm happy. Praying Chappy is ok.

 

[theflea]

The only thing we got is the 4 points. everything else junk, plus injuries. How many missed targets by the cotch??

 

[Bazzar]

Ordinary game and our skills were basic, but we won by ten goals. That in its self is telling.

Also, Matty White is no sub, but how can we get him in to our starting lineup. Times are good.

And PMSL at Boyd and Griffen racking up 70 disp between them. Front running downhill skiers at their finest.

Dimma just said it looks ok structurally, but will need scans.

 

[Grechy]

Thought we didn't play well but we got the job done by 60 points still. Shows that we're an improved side.

 

[Cotcho]

BT is a flog. How many times did he mention that the tiges have played finals twice in 30 years. Absolute tossa. To his credit, his smugness does make me enjoy the footy more. Still a w***er

 

[DontArgue4]

Dimma just said it looks ok structurally, but will need scans.

As long as it's not a long term thing, if he misses 2-3 that's fine. We really need him though, any chance of a season ender?

 

[Neen]

Do we expect too much ?

We beat sides around us comfortably, and beat bottom sides with ease. Seriously, the Tigers didn't get out of second gear tonight. Looks like we will have a few injuries to worry about. Grimes, Bachelor and Griffiths may get their opportunities.

Jackson was very important tonight. Cotchin is a bit of a worry.

 

[theflea]

He was walking after the game down the race. Suspect he will go down the Nick Reiwoldt treatment way.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

60 points. I'll take it 8-4. Will take that too. Hope Chappy is ok. Astbury obviously out with a hammy so Batch comes back in.
Agree that we didn't get out of second gear and many of our stars didn't fire but still won easily which is a great sign.

 

[RichoLedio]

Every time Astbury goes to ground he looks injured to me he seems to take an age to get up, hope he's alright though

My god. I don't watch a lot of the Dogs but it's no wonder Dimma decided to leave Griffen off the chain. I don't think I've seen a player rack up so many disposals as a midfielder that were completely ineffectual. Him having that many disposals was actually a detriment to their team. Jackson was twice as damaging offensively tonight, great coaching by Damien.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

We had an ugly win on a crappy surface against a side that was not going to let us win easy...and the maggots tried to keep it a contest as well...
We held our structures...
Really think its time Astbury regained some form in the VFL before he's picked again...
!0 goals is a fair win...room for improvement...still...
