Game Day Tigers v Blues Rd1 at the G

[SunshineBoy]

mckay best player on the ground apparently lol 1 goal and got all his marks 60 out. wtf is brown on?

Obviously trying to get on the concussion class action, he has footballs bouncing around in his head, meathead,

 

[RFCGloryJC]

We scored one goal for the entire quarter with less than 2 minutes left.
Voss looked furious in the change rooms.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Miller may just be our FB. Balta seems better suited to CHB anyway.

Said it 100 times
Balta isn't a defender.

 

[fleabitten]

So, I reckon the umpires allowed a Carlton point at the end of the second or third quarter when the siren went while the ball was in the air and was then touched by one of our players.
Is that legit or should not have been allowed?

That's a point but I thought we also should have got a point on the quarter time siren. Ball looked like it hit the post off hands. Or is the rule different for a kick after the siren vs a loose ball after the siren?

He'd be insane as loose man in defence type role just told to clunk marks and not worry about a player. Oppo players get away from him way too easily, just doesn't seem to have that focus you need as a true key defender.

 

[Grechy]

This has aged well

He wasn’t great tonight. Better in the second half admittedly.

Yep.Ball watches.

What is he?

 

[Tiger51]

Ross forever my whipping boy, just a good VFL player that guy

I think Ross is better than a VFL player but we may need to inject highly skilled players such as Clarke and Sonsie sooner than later.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

What is he?

Pinch hitting CHF so far and maybe ruck him a bit.

So a trade then?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What is he?

Play him as a high fwd.
Between 20 & wing.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

So a trade then?

Dunno mate he really doesn't hold a position but has a booming kick at least.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

I'd love to see Balta play on the wing. The problem is we are thin on defenders, I would have liked us to go after Liam Jones

we go back to that rubbish don’t be stupid

I hear ya. He’s dripping with potential athletically and his best is thrilling.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Dunno mate he really doesn't hold a position but has a booming kick at least.

He was catching everything that first quarter. Pretty harsh

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Reckon our kpd did a pretty good job tonight.
Personally thought Balta competed very well against A grade opposition.
Also we should settle Short back into that permanent hb running role. Take some of the pressure off Rioli.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

He was catching everything that first quarter. Pretty harsh

I'm not saying he's not talented, he just needs too be more consistant and get involved in the game more as well.

 

[Pattiger]

If we get that connection from mids to forwards going, we'll be fine.

Also cut out the cute kicks and handballs, just get the pill forward

 

[Pattiger]

I agree there were times that pretty football cost us turnovers Great to see a Centre clearance kicked to Martin who found Lynch then goal

 

[guruisatiger]

Hate to beat a dead horse but...

If we play Cumberland over Mansell we win. We escaped with 2 points.

Take it, move on and make a couple better changes next week.

lol

 

[captain blood 17]

Cotch for 25 goals might be a stretch captain blood 17

Played mainly midfield, so yeah, it's gonna be a stretch.

 

[tora tora tora]

The woulda coulda moments were either one of Ross or Miller kicking a point for a win.

Or any other player who had a set shot and couldn't score

That's sorta the role he started with in the backline when Rance retired. With Astbury at fullback on the monster forward.
