Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 3 - Tigers v Swans Sat April 3rd 1:45pm AEDT (MCG) Tigercast Link in OP!

[Number37]

Swans were miles better today no doubt but we were flat from the very start. Dropped marks, fumbles, shanked kicks... very much like how we played in rd 3 last year against the hawks. Take nothing away from the swans as they are probably the hottest team in the comp at the minute and I think they’ll play finals but we’ll get much better from what we dished up today.

You'll have to get better, like Lions, Cats.

Every team has to deal with new rules. Stop complaining about them.

Last 4 years tells me we do.

Only going to risk Buddy for games they believe they have a realistic chance of winning it seems..

Guess thats why we have decided to give Houli and Vlastuin another week as Swans won't be as dynamic as last week down forward without Buddy..

Bit of a shame they don't play him, Certainly would add to the ratings and crowd getting to watch Dusty and Buddy at the G..

Will be close


Tigers 66 points

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Absolutely

I highly doubt any of your players let alone your young kids would have had the opportunity to have played against a 3 time premiership team thats full of stars and AFL Royalty such as Dustin Martin.

Lets just hope they dont star gaze and actually participate in the game

Tiges need to consider a rebuild

Im sure you are creaming your jocks after seeing that win. Just like that lady on your avatar pick lol

One of the great moving pictures!

One of the great moving pictures!

Funny that the last time Richmond lost in the. MCG vs a non Vic club is ironically the swans in 2017. Freo beat them at the MCG with a David Mundy kick after the siren too

When was the last time the reigning Premier lost to last years 16th placed side?

I was curious about this too and busted out ye olde program to search for it, results are extremely discouraging:

• '99 crows twice to soon to be contending lions
• '00 kangas to soon to be contending pies
• '05 port to still going nowhere tigers
• '15 hawks to soon to be contending giants
• '17 dogs to going nowhere dockers

The only home losses were crows and kangas.
The only 20+ point losses were crows and port (must've been a nice game to see at the time).

Hawks the only ones to contend in their year.


*edit: well, kangas did have a top 4 finish and port would reach a gf soon enough but still

The Swans aren't going to be a 16th placed side, so I reckon we went down today to a 2021 finalist.

The best part is you actually believe what you write.

You should see what he wrote on the swans board. Arrogance is a paltry stance to take.

 

[Tristan34]

Swans look good ATM, but i still don't think they will play finals... Usually teams that have got a lot of youth start well, but decline at the back end of the season...

Perhaps. Though usually teams that have a lot of youth that start really well in a game against the best in the comp, decline in the second half. That didn't happen. I'm cautiously optimistic. Which is extremely unlike me as I'm often pessimistic

 

[momentbymoment]

As much as I hate Sydney, and I do...

Suck it Tigers you arrogant flogs

As much as I hate Hawthorn, and I do ...

I support this message.

This is probably a fair comment.
We also have almost no injuries and most of the team were well rested last year lol.

Then again, AFL is a different beast this year and who knows what will happen.

captain blood 17 can't wait for you to wake up at 5am tomorrow and come through this thread liking all the hindsight posts have a good sleep old fella

It wasn‘t all bad yesterday. Got smashed on tequila, had a swim and won money on the ponies. What’s a good page to start on? And i will give you the first like.

 

[captain blood 17]

Tigers next Port ,saints and bullies

3 wins coming up. Probably should get some percentage as well.

 

[captain blood 17]

Tiger fans on their board blaming the umpires. Lol.

I only listened to the game on the wireless. But from what i saw, the posters were correct.

 

[captain blood 17]

She won't show after a loss

You should come back to our board and we can chat some more. I gave you some love eyes gorgeous.

 

[captain blood 17]

I am sending an e mail to Focus on Footy today. Looks like we need to #sackdimma again and retire at least 6 blokes. I’m not crying as i type this, it’s just dirt in my eye okay......

 

[captain blood 17]

**** it, i’m off to Harvey Norman as well. They should have some new souped up microwaves i can purchase.

They're still more bearable than Hawthorn supporters were.
