A forum is a great place for emotionally stable adults to vent their frustrations... life has enough people butting their noses in and telling them what they can and can't say ... being the fun police jumping in and calling people children and emotionally stable, really?

The irony is after an amazingly positive win that you are the one spoiling the party with your negativity.

You’d drop Lefau when Lynch is injured and he’s just kicked 2-goals? And bring in Kosi who went goalless at VFL level? I know Lefau didn’t get much of the ball, but he competed well and showed improvement on his first game.

That’s an A1 way to kills a newbies confidence… I’ll be pretty disappointed if Lefau is dropped.

Great that he kicked 2 goals, but when our number 1 key forward goes out, I'm not sure Balta & a 3rd gamer is the answer to come up a decent Saints key defensive duo in Cordy and Wilkie. Maybe Lefau stays and Banks gets omitted but it's clear we'll need 2 key forwards who can play at a consistent level across 4 quarters, rather than flash in and out as Lefau currently does.

Because we lose Lynch for hopefully not too long, as crazy as this sounds do you think instead of Ryan or Kosi this week what about Naismith up forward. He's hard to move off the ball, can take a great grab, kicks well and can take all the ruck duties up forward. Frees up the pressure on Balta and Lefau. Just a thought

Interesting concept, but Naismith is a ruckman first and I'm not sure he'd have the nous to play KPF for the majority of the game. Ryan I didn't really consider, but he could come in and give Nankervis ruck support which leaves Balta as a permanent forward rather than playing on the ball.

What did Naismith kick in the seconds yesterday - 2 or 3 - after potting goal of the round on the run from 50, the week before, against the Bears ... has form ... and if Balta is sore ... not having him have to play second ruck ... would be a smart move
 
The Tiger Army was up for it too.
Young kids in,lots of prem legends out.
A nothing to lose game for mine and the Tiger Army came with that mindset and roared the team home.
Amazing win and congrats to Adem Yze on your first victory for the Tigers.
What a way to chalk it up.
A fighting Tiger win!
 
The melts over the past two weeks were ridiculous and there would be a lot of embarrassed posters after yesterday’s win. Of course, those posters now act like everything is all good and forget to mention they were calling for Yze, Grimes, Broad, Macca, mansell etc etc to all be replaced. Honestly it is *ing embarrassing reading those melts. You’re either children or emotionally unstable adults.

Regardless, yesterday’s win was about pressure. We kept them under high pressure all day, they struggled to use the footy cleanly, and we pounced on turnovers.

Lynch was outstanding up forward, fingers crossed he doesn’t miss more than a week or two. Dan Rioli again was fantastic, one of his best games. Vlastuin BOG, he was everywhere down back. Taranto another good game.

Rioli Jr finally looked like he belongs at this level. Couple of bad turnovers but did so many good things. His best game by a mile. Dow also big bounce back game. Campbell is super clean.

It’s a simple game sometimes. Put on pressure and work hard - you’ll be in with a shot.
The melts last week about the low pressure was justified. Pressure and effort should be non negotiables as the most unskilled footballers should be fit enough to follow, tackle and run.

This week there was a fire under the arse of the players so I hope we can maintain that aggression for a few weeks.

It's all between the ears with Sampson Ryan. I believe he can do it, it's really up to him. I'm sure Yze will nurture him to believe more in himself just like Yze is doing with Maurice Jnr and look at the spectacular result that produced yesterday.
 
Pls no Ryan this week,blokes still lookin for his first possession,by the way i called it yesterdy,2 leg multi,had swans 2nd leg and we win leaving me w/o food on the table till wednesdy,anyway guaranteed win when i bet gainst tiges :shrug:

im backin em this week tho,last start winner $2.60, FMD:oops:

Is wayne King playing for the aints ?

Balta IS sore, watching him after the game and walking around in the rooms, he’s carrying something for sure
