[Charlie Pannam]

Good to have Chol back was in cracking form and pushing for senior selection prior to breaking his foot
Is this on tv?

 

[tora tora tora]

Do you need a ticket in advance for this? Or just turn up?

 

[purr hana]

Gidday team, this game is on 7, and tickets available on line. What a geat game this should be with both sides choc full of their best talent and good weather predicted. Our 'spine' is now back to 'full strength' and now playing right through with no breaks and no 2nd chance 'IS' our best footy. Lock on fella's and now find the 'WANT' to win what we all play this great game of ours 'for', a ''GRAND FINAL''. All as one at RFC-Kill em Tigers!!! Cheers.

 

[TyroneVickery29]

Best thing about tomorrow’s game is that there will be no reason to hold anyone back as the AFL side doesn’t play next week. Expect Chol to be on a minutes restriction but other than that everyone should be ready to go!

 

[Lsta062]

Now this is a game that I think we can win. Essendon play North Port Oval well, but so do we when our opponent is not Port Melbourne.

There are a couple of loose spots in our AFL side, so today would be a good audition opportunity for a potential call-up.

 

[TigerTime_89]

We are not playing Williamstown, so we will win easy.

 

[wegetpumped]

Does anyone know why Buttler isn't getting a full game since we don't play next week? I hope his injury didn't re occur.

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Does anyone know why Buttler isn't getting a full game since we don't play next week? I hope his injury didn't re occur.

I heard they decided to put him through track training to try and get him ready rather than game day. But I believe he pulled up sore after his last game though, so not looking good for him.

 

[tigertigertiger]

Baker out, why?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Baker out, why?

Making the trip over to perth with the pies.

(Suspended).

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Is this game on 7plus anyone know... cant find any info.

 

[tigertigertiger]

Liking our VFL team being televised, feel like we are first preference although it's probably not the case

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Should've been on primetime instead of the pies game

[Shazza_]

why isnt butler playing

 

[Shazza_]

vfl hd on 7 is pathetic lol

 

[J_Simmo]

vfl hd on 7 is pathetic lol

It's SD they just put the HD logo in the corner lol

 

[telsor]

why isnt butler playing

As mentioned before...Pulled up sore after last game.
Realistically, he'd need to be right for next week (assuming the VFL team win), and play a significant part of the game in order to be considered for the PF. (and he'd need to do that to make the GF).

Not looking especially good you'd have to say.

 

[tunksy]

Just get the win tiges!

Team is a revolving door with players atm. Lots of player managing going on

 

[_RT_]

Important that the team wins today as it means guys in contention for the senior side continue to get game time into them as the finals progress.

 

[_RT_]

Miles kicks the first as we rebound quickly from D50.

 

[Shazza_]

It's SD they just put the HD logo in the corner lol

[Shazza_]

[_RT_]

Younan gets the Bummers first after they lock the ball inside 50.

Tigers 6 Bummers 7 5 mins in.
