Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Fremantle & Changes for R9 vs Bulldogs

[tugga]

we could buy both hawthorn and the dogs and still be more financialy vialble than all the minnow clubs put together

Saints and norf have no right even being in the comp. Shitstains.

genuine fruit loop!

But wouldn’t it be better to play him in conjunction with Dow instead of replacing Dow with him?
That way Dow has more support on the inside that he desperately needs and likewise for Prestia he won’t be the sole inside mid in the team and set up to shoulder a load that is just setting any player up to fail

Dow is not going to make it unless he puts on size and by the look of his frame that doesn't look like it's going to happen, he is currently too light to be a inside midfielder.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Not really. He runs under the ball 7 out of 10 attempts and the remainder the ball hits his hands and bounces off like a trampoline.

But I agree with the general talent comment.

He’s exactly what he was when at hawthorn. He was a waste of time, but we refuse to invest in tall talent at the draft so

Disagree
With the right players around him he’s shown that he can be a vital cog on the midfield group during games

But he needs the support around him to take the heat and match up so he is only matched up to players who are a similar size
Even last week he looked like an AFL player

 

[Growapair]

The Dow experiment is over, get KMac2 in.

Zero bloody tackles ... Dow should see himself out!

Sonsie and Banks had zero too

I'll lay any bet you like within 2 years dow will be either traded or delisted are we on?

 

[captain blood 17]

Oh gosh, Freo’s biggest win over the tigers at the G

Yeah, that midfield missing Hopper, Tarranto, Graham, Ross and Prestia was a disgrace. And our forward line is performing amazingly without Balta and Lynch……
That midfield of Dow, Pickett and Sonsie should be killing a top 4 midfield in the league. ……… wake up will ya.

Na I’m not silly enough to take that bet when the odds aren’t in his favour
But I can still see the upside that is all

It's ok it wasn't going to be for anything serious just a friendly bet between us both.

Perfect storm at the moment. Injuries to key players, getting umpired out of games, young blokes getting experience but they just don’t have the size or fitness to go with the bigger bodied mids.
Positives:
Miller and Young
Banks, Dow, Sonsie, Campbell, Hugo and a few others going hard, but they are just making some errors young blokes do. We gotta be patient.
We get Balta, Prestia and maybe someone else back next weekend.
Negatives - umps. Deadset ****ing corrupt cheats.

We’re just not up to it at the moment due to the personal issues. We all know this.
Our draft hand is gonna be mint. This is not a bad thing for us.

tigers fans booing the corruption but still attend games lmao

I've attended 4 games so far this year. My next will be Dreamtime. I'm not going next week because it's my little form of protesting against the BS going on in AFL headquarters. Their happy to take some of our hard earned money as paid up members, the corrupt dogs and what do we get in return? When Andrew Dillon said "it's a balancing mechanism" it made it so obvious their not even scared of hiding their bias and pure distain for not just us Richmond fans but footy fans in general. Thank you for listening to my rant. I feel better now. Up the Tiges.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Hopefully mate because our 5 in the top 30 last time has been underwhelming

We need some cream for sure.

 

[beema limapep]

If we lose to Bulldogs and Brisbane, our round 10 win rate and percentage for 2024 will be worse than at round 10 for every season since 1917 (including every season of the dark days and all wooden spoon years in the last 107 years).

Let that sink in.

Thank you CB for putting some perspective on our current situation. I'm normally alright at games but today it got to me. Not our boys, their having a dip but the f...... umpires. Even by our own standards that was next level diabolical.

Reckon the beers might have got a nudge at your end today!

Thanks for cheering me up brother. All good, we're all feeling and sharing the pain here.

 

[El Duderino]

McIntosh, God love him, has been out of form all season. Just running around in circles like a chook with its head cut off. I know we have injuries but surely there's a young bloke in the ressies who could be getting a game instead. Disappointed the selectors haven't made the call.

I can't believe what we aren't getting paid atm, I can deal with what we give away but it must be demoralising for the players

 

[Karp3_dm]

If we are gonna get spanked every week then what is the point of Naismith playing instead of Samson?

Like seriously… get real selection committee
Time for Samson, Cumbo, Coulthard, Tresize to have a run of a few games in a row

 

[Tiges1229]

I havent watched any vfl this year but does our vfl team play like khamazi pilots under Morro ?

 

[db26]

Time to draw a line for Yze, pressure, tackling, effort and general skills and kicking not negotiable or your out the team no matter who you a.

I get it we need experience heads with kids , but alot are the problem besides a few.

I saw diehards leaving today in disgust/protest for the first time ever today, they went to the netball because they felt at least their team would get a fair go

 

[captain blood 17]

We need size!!! Are we the smallest team in the competition!!
Big mids at the draft
And some kpp that split packs.

On a brighter note on the Hurstbridge line and Terry Wallace is in my carriage. The Tiger fans are peppering him with Questions

We’re the smallest team because we got 8 big bodied senior players out. You reckon Taranto, Hopper, Prestia, Ross and Graham are tiny? Lynch and Balta small?
