Two things that stood out.

[DoItForCaptBlood]

After the 1st quarter.

1) Hislop has poor skills and is a bad decision maker and will only be good as a depth player.

2) Tambling is proving his critics. Why is he out there?...will need a huge 90 minutes of football surely to play next week.

 

[DerpWerls]

Bling is playing one of his worst games ever

King is shiezer as well

Bowden needs to go play in the VFL

 

[richcogs]

Whats Tambling doing out there. I've nearly never seen a worse game by a player. Just jogging about loose, looking completely uninterested. 1 handball, 1 turnover and 1 free kick against. MUST BE DROPPED NEXT WEEK!

 

[Riichoo(12)]

If King makes the side again, that will be the biggest joke of the 2009 season. Edwards gutless and too small, as for Bling well he is just plain lazy and weak not good enough for AFL standard.

 

[beaver fever]

Same old same old in the 2nd quarter. Geez this could be even worse, the dogs have missed at least 5 very gettable goals so far. Impressed with Rance, Polo, McGuane and I was with White until his poor kicking resulted in a turnover and goal. Bowden, King, Edwards, Tambling, Schulz are adding yet more nails to the coffin. Deplorable game from this fab 5.

5 years to develop a list, and these are the players we have.

 

[sante]

Tambling and King have to be dropped for next weeks game.

Graham hasn't looked that bad. We need players like Deledio, Newman, Brown and Morton to get the ball more often, not players like King and Hislop who turn it over. We always seem to use McGuane/Moore/King out of defence. WTF? Moore and McGuane especially shouldn't be running it out of defence.

 

[I love DELEDIO]

Tambling yet to tuch the ball not up to AFL standard shorely back to Coburg til he can actually find the ball what did he do for Coburg last week??

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

King , Edwards and Hislop not up to AFL standard, Brown, Bling, Lids, although tagged and Foley are not giving enough week in week out.
Richo is a fair way off his best , guess the good thing is we can hopefully only improve in the last half.
Newman is without doubt the clubs most important player .

To be fair to Tambling, he had one handball.....that was a clanger and led to a Bulldog goal.

He didn't play last week he tweaked a hammy and didn't play .... He was not dropped but should be after this performance

These two need some sort of psychiatric coaching to toughen them up mentally. Nothing wrong with them physically and skill wise, but something needs to happen between their ears.

 

[Rosstickle]

Is it just apathy or does tambling not have a tank?

Its not the players fault its who is doing all training drills and planing their structure fualts and all that lead to wallett, the tigers need to believe in them selves and they can win this i have said over and over again the dogs are way over rated and in the 1st quartet the tigers proved it..
i hope the tigers win and prove me right about the dogs...

NOT the players' fault?????
WTF??????
It ain't you and I out there making mistakes, it's our PLAYERS!!!
Of course they are to blame. They are paid good money to execute basic skills...they simply can't!!!
The turnovers are plain embarassing..... other teams just sit back qand watch us fumble and bumble and turn it over!

And afraid to say it, like Jordy McMahon, I can no longer keep defending Richard Tambling as well. Seriously not up to scratch and doesn't seem to care!!

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I don't think the players give a cracker, Dr Pink , has rumbled on with this leg problem for way to long and is soft and lazy.
Terry Wallace is under the pump and think he should be really pissed with some of these blokes who he has given more than anyone else would have and who haven't given him anything in return.
When clubs put in 2 performances like these blokes have in 3 weeks , coaches heads normally role, doesn't look as though they want to play for him or have respect for him.

 

[Drummond]

I feel you're all harsh on Hislop, I think he has a future. Tambling on the otherhand doesn't, just not up to it.

Where is Adam Thomson? And how long until Cotchin returns? At 19 he's just about your best player.

You see when you continue to play Schulz, Edwards, King, Tambling, Bowden etc you will get burned. It's his own fault.

 

[vegieplus]

King should never ever play again, and if we weren't short of ruck stocks I'd almost say Simmonds could join him - owned by Minson in the last! Tambling should saty in the Magoos for weeks.

 

[boodsyboy]

If Tambling and King the worse game by those 2 players have no idea WTF Tambling I also defended him but no more that was shameful display thank F****k for the Cho.Looks like Wallace GONE.I know its only rnd 3 but FFS

 

[Goldust]

OUT next week: TAMBLING, KING, SIMMONDS, BROWN, EDWARDS, SCHULZ
IN: THOMSON, CONNORS, COLLINS, PATTISON, THURSFIELD, POST.
Time to make a statement like we did last year, send Brown and Simmonds packing!!
Simmo has been deplorable all year!!

 

[Vitalogy]

Funny there are a few bowden bashers in here, seeing he won us 3 or 4 games last year. Actually thought he was one of the only ones who tackled hard and made his player accountable.

 

[DerpWerls]

He was only good last year after being dropped for a few weeks.

Agree 10% on this one, very few who could say theu tackled hard and made their direct oppnent accountable. We had 18 players on the ground and all lost to their direct opponent but Bowden gave a shout unlike the others that have been mentioned so far. BTW you can add Lids to the list on non tacklers and non triers today.
