Vs Collingwood match thread

[jezza]

Bowden starting on Rocca
Gaspar on Medhurst - not thrilled about this one
Polak up forward
Patto started in ruck but Simmonds quickly took over.

 

[jezza]

Schulz getting involved early is good, need him to keep up the intensity.

Richo some good early grabs but poor kicking.

 

[jezza]

Raines looks to be marking Lockyer.

Tambling some good early touches.

Schulz presents well again for another grab. Clement out is helping, leaves Wakelin to mark Schulz who is running hard.

 

[jezza]

Lot of good signs through the middle so far. Delivery to forwards has been excellent early.

Tambling hurt, copped a stray elbow from Lids.

 

[jezza]

Nice to see a hip and shoulder from Petts, not shying away from it.

 

[jezza]

Howat not looking good again, couple of very poor kicks early and not showing any confidence on his right boot.

 

[jezza]

Finally we see Bowden trying to exploit Rocca and run him up the ground. Hopefully we will see more of it, need to wear him out early.

 

[jezza]

Patto doing ok so far. Simmo now moved forward to start the second half.

 

[jezza]

Some good pressure across half forward so far has created a few turnovers and made it hard for the pies to clear out of defence. A few of the guys that were quiet early getting involved now like Krak and Johnson. Tambling have a good quarter.

 

[jezza]

Bit worried we're not putting them away at this stage. We haven't finished games well so far, would like to build a big lead by 3/4 time.

Richo kicking 1.4 doesn't help.

 

[jezza]

Gaspar's disposal seems to get worse each week if that's possible.

 

[jezza]

Half Time and we let them back in a bit in the second quarter. Some ordinary delivery and decision making into the forward line wasted a lot of opportunities.

 

[Tigerdrive]

tambling having his best game by the sounds of it, we need to put the pressure on in the 3rd qtr, richo having one of those nights i reckon but still hes got 2 goals at half time but really should have 4 or 5

 

[jezza]

He's doing well. 12 touches to half time and some really good pressure so far, couple of decent marks to help keep the ball in the forward line, plenty of hard running to create an option when we run the ball out of defence.

 

[Wally Matera]

Fking disposals are terrible... Howat, Gasper, Hyde... killing us in bullshit footskills.

Deja vu... 3rd quarter and here come the scum. Exactly the same as the Blues game.

 

[jezza]

Agreed. Pies get the first couple and look to have the momentum. Need to hit more targets with kicking and use our advantage with tall forwards.

 

[kendo]

we just dont know how to win

 

[jezza]

We don't know how to use the ball under pressure. The slightest bit of pressure from opponents and we fall apart.

 

[Wally Matera]

Deledio is getting heaps of it, but he's not punishing them.

How bad are we going when Leon Davis is tearing us a new a-shole. Seriosuly, we have that many small defenders and we cant find one to man this spaz up.

Shaking my head.

 

[kendo]

if we cant beat these hacks where are we going to get a win from?

Shaking my head.

Davis has touched it about 4 times and one was a shocking turnover. He gets massively overhyped by commentators who fool everyone into thinking he's having an impact.

 

[jezza]

Horrible quarter, no composure under pressure. Consistently running into tackles, making bad decisions, using it poorly.

the story of the tigers unfortunately...

 

[jezza]

Yep. We want to play this fast style where we play on at all costs and run hard out of defence but we continually prove that we're not capable of executing it yet. Gets frustrating as it's often pretty basic errors that cost us.

 

[Wally Matera]

This is making me want to spew... throw us the spoon if we let this slip.
