Finally, the Tigers have come back to the MCG.
After what has seemed like forever the Tigers are finally back at the MCG for a Saturday afternoon game against a Hawthorn side, that has been consistently inconsistent this year, one week they beat top 8 sides in the Saints & Lions, then they get smashed by bottom half of the ladder side like Suns & Carlton. On Sunday they seemingly had their way with the Roos winning by 8 goals, but straight kicking would have seen the margin blowout to 10-12 goals. So what Hawthorn side will we get on Saturday, the one that can beat top 8 sides, or the one that struggles to compete against fellow battlers.
At the same time, we're coming back from a trip to Perth, where we didn't exactly have it all our own way against the Eagles, sure we won comfortably enough, although not enough for some. The Eagles made things difficult by parking the bus and getting plenty of numbers behind the ball. Add to that we struggled to convert once we got inside 50, our final score of 14.14 should have been in the range of 16.12 - 20.8 had we been on our game. Hopefully the short turn around between game will mean that we're up and about from the start.
Possible line up:
Out - M.Rioli McIntosh
In - Mansell Sonsie
B: Grimes Balta Young
HB: D.Rioli Broad Vlastuin
C: Sonsie Taranto Ross
HF: Graham Prestia Baker
F: Miller Martin Riewoldt
R: Soldo Cotchin Bolton
INT: Hopper Mansell Sonsie Banks
Prediction:
Tough hard fought game with the Tigers coming out on top by 4-5 goals if the weather holds, 2-3 goals if it ends up being wet.
