Autopsy Roast & Toast Round 14 vs West Coast and changes for Fremantle, Round 15

[RFCGloryJC]

Balta bombshell.
Great to see Noah and Dusty pumped.
Team is more or less settled now, apart from the major stars, if they return.
No chance for Stack, Higgins.

Might not be a bad choice actually. Freo have Taberner and Lobb down there. Balta will go to Taberner for sure, so we need someone who can deal with Lobb's height, and both Garth and Broad are undersized.

Just send this bloke onto Lobb & he'll shit himself.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Saw on the highlights a passage of play where Aarts backs into the pack, as three of our forwards, three WC defenders, approach for a mark.
He was completely fearless to create a spoil and goal.
The fighting spirit which epitomises the Tenacious Tigers.
Six score involvements.

How bloody original................................weagles had their first gameday podcast tonight!

Michaels.........get Dennis Denuto onto it asap.

Nah its all good, I've been discussing it with them recently pointing them in the right direction.

Good to see someone else doing it too, kind of helps validate why we did it in the first place.

Cause footy fans want something different.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Looking forward medium term, I guess the premium stars Edwards and Prestia would return.
Current players would be stiff to be omitted though.
Markov and Dow, I guess.
An invidious task to omit though.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Thank you QLD.

 

[TigerMoz1973]

West coast ain’t that good.

True. They will be better next time. So will we

 

[Soberian Tiger]

Fair dos to the West Australians. They did well tonight.

Baker, Bolton, Pickett, McIntosh...

With Broad and Stack to return.

Picks:
rookie 18,
29,
mid-season rookie 13,
31,
67
& pre-season supplemental.

Cheap as well as good.

Must admin Michaels, I missed you and the boys tonight. Had to watch the game with the volume turned off.

Don't let minor things like fatherhood and birthdays stop you

isnt his woman and kid in qld with him or does only chimp get those benefits ?

Not sure..

Good solid team effort against the West Coast Bradbury's. Got the game on our terms for much of the night and didn't go the long bomb. Very pleasing to see.

Aarts justified his place in the team. His pressure, typified by that defensive fly through the air in the first quarter was outstanding.

Graham is a new player since his shoulder strapping came off. A couple of solid weeks now.

Balta Baker and Bolton are evidence of our brilliant development and recruitment systems. Outstanding young players. Balta's goal, WOW, Bolton's goal pretty good also. Darling did Nothing on Balta, another scalp (kicked a couple on flossy)

Lynch and Jack coming good at the right time of season. Kept Mcgovern quiet. Kicked straight too. Jack at the end lol.

Thomson Dow solid debut. As someone mentioned, what Thomson is to Paddy may just be what Dylan was to Jack.

Cotch delivers another captain's knock. He and Dusty sublime. Dusty's banana... ****

Ruckmen held their own. Great having Nank back. Using them as an extra forward option was good. Both hit the scoreboard. They can defend too when needed. Loved Soldos mark over Williams. Williams has footy pedigree, Soldo's family had never played until five years ago.

Backline was solid as always. Flossy is the general. Hopefully Dylan only a couple of weeks.

The small forwards aren't firing but they're not horrible either. Good to see George and Daniel hit the scoreboard. Aarts also.

The umpiring didn't bother me. Some inconsistencies but just as many went our way that didn't so no big one there. I was happy they didn't pay those dinky 12 metre kicks.

Well done Tigers. Stepping up nicely.

With the glaring exception of their first goal (dinky kick to Kelly).

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Dusty’s goal from the boundary and Balta’s from 55 out were creamable for mine! Phwoarrr!

Balta 65m

 

[richoatthedisco]

Instead of having anti Richmond derangement, Eagles fans should be grateful for us shitting the bed and losing that Prelim .....they wouldnt have the 2018 cup if we didnt.

We literally shat the bed. Gastro.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

did u see him stick his fist up at the tigers fans behind the goals

Was he asking to be fisted ???

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Amazing thing too is they manage Cotch at 65-70% game time, still dominates.
Gutsy move by our defence coach to omit Broad too, has paid off.
Houli returning to brilliant form after a quiet start last week.

The city of Perth is checking under its bed for Balta before it can sleep tonight

yep is making me eat my words that bloke what a gun

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He has a contract for next year and on his podcast said no way he's retiring.

Don't care about the contract or not.
He looks cooked.
He looks that sec slower at it shows.

 

[Big Unit 30]

Wtf

As amazing as a kick it was , I’ve played at Preston’s ground a few times and watched plenty of NFL finals there and the wind tunnel there is like a hurricane.
Tony Shaw could roost it 50+ there.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

When you consider how relatively short Aarts is, backing into a pack sight unseen, with six huge blokes ready to take a pack mark, it's gutsy and inspirational.
It's those moments that lift an entire team.

No shame in losing to defending champs. However you better not absolutely smash us. I will be absolutely livid then

 

[Karp3_dm]

Delicious.

Warning: extremely high levels of salt.

go to 2:19 min mark where balta bombs the goal... they go off their heads!!! This is amazing

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Was that Soldo's best game considering the opposition. Knew he was a good match for NicNat.

Soldo is fantastic... especially where he has come from

 

[Big Unit 30]

j

no wonder we won, west coke fielding the most ancient sports team of all time

Beating Hawthorn by hours or days only
