A lot of good and bad. I think we look good enough for this time of the year.

Bring on the Blues Round 1.

well we where out played glad it was only a practice match

I hate Essendon

 

[Groupie_]

Why didnt we pick up Shanue Wiggins ?

 

[SplintWhisky]

Not good enough. We made mistakes that a side wanting to go deep into september should not have made. Vickery has to work his arse off to get back into the 22 because now Griff is just clearly out playing him

 

[Nostradumbass]

Vickerys a waste of space

 

[Rubber Hips]

Thank god the nob cup is over

 

[Infamy]

Take out the super goals and the score was
Tigers 14.16 - 100
Norf 16:15 - 111

Yet Norf are certs for Top 4 and we won't make the 8 apparently

 

[tugga]

Scoreboard flattered us, BUT I saw that as a positive in a way. The fact that we were only 14 points down after playing pretty poorly.
Practice match. scoreboard irrelevant really.
North look slick and will be thereabouts.
Thank **** we play Carllol in round 1.

I'm not blaming it as the reason for the loss, but the umpiring was bad today. Both ways. They just seemed to pay all the easy ones that weren't really there or didn't influence the contest ie- really soft push in the backs and high contact that was very minimal. It's just annoying as it ruins the contest as a spectacle.

Plenty to complain about today, but considering we were only 14 points down, it just means there's a lot of things we can improve here and show how good we really can be.

Don't forget we play them in Tassie and away from their favourite sterile Dome. Will see a different game with a much higher defensive mindset included.

Funny thing is, I ventured onto Norf's board at half-time... quite a few posts reckoning they were getting Milned by the umps...
Frees 14 - 27 in the end, numbers don't lie!

norf supporters are celebrating like they've just won the grand final

hang on - they did

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

How the **** did the scoreline flatter us. They had one more shot on goal but had five less inside 50's and 13 more free kicks.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Got carved up when they rebounded out of our 50. We looked slow.
