Autopsy Roast, toast vs Sydney and changes for Port Adelaide in two weeks

[Sir_Loin]

This sport is drowning and the AFL is doing nothing to rescue it.

It’s drowning because of the decisions they’ve made and they’re too proud to accept they’ve been wrong

 

[smurfin]

In the end, they had Buddy.
We had no Lynch and basically no Riewoldt.
Did well to be as close as we were.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

If all our players had the heart of bakes!

Like the ones from the 17 to 21 campaigns.
Geez some people have very short memories.

 

[Dr Tigris]

That ending was tragic. Free to Dion - yes, 50 for kicking the ball away - yes .. no "didn't know". But every week in every game there are 50s for not knowing.

We could have, maybe should have won.

Dusty doesn't have his kicking boots on. Stupid stuff from our top end players. Forward entries to talls surrounded to 3 defenders.

But when we were on we were amazing.

So glass half full. But we desperately need Lynch to make our forward line function. To win the whole thing we need Dusty back in genuine form.

And we were out coached. Sydney changed their back set up and rebounded form tehri really well. Shouldn't let that work

 

[richard parker]

pretty sure the coaching staff are aware of the deficiencies in george, soldo etc's games but dimma has clearly explained recently why they are important. he has made a distinction between "structural" players and the prime movers or more damaging players (not sure what he called them). I'm sure the coaches and fans all want every player to have damaging skills, elite awareness and composure but i'm not sure that's realistic. the structural players are what hold up our defensive structures and allow dusty, bolton et al to focus on their weaponry. if every player was a dusty we would concede 200 points per game and be millions over the salary cap. might score 300 but still.

 

[Kingsofchaos]

31 up.

but get what you say. spot on with everything you said

Gibcus made some mistakes that cost us, but he did well against awesome opposition (Buddy). That goal of his was special too. But just look at the last half - we kicked only 4.8 to 10.3. That's just crap, no matter how you look at it. You really start to appreciate how our GF teams were special, and missing Lambert, Balta, Lynch, and Pickett makes a difference.

 

[Ma Xiao Long]

Don’t like the look of Soldo in forward 50 - too slow and can’t do anything when the ball hits the ground. Ross I don’t want to call a dumb footballer, but he’s never done anything that I thought was clever or interesting. Seems like it’s just get the ball and kick it, which doesn’t seem to be working

 

[Groupie_]

Which one of George's two possessions did you like best???

bye next week

dimma will send him to costa rica to have a rest

will come back and
have 6 touches against port but will kick the winner

 

[Harry Bosch]

If dimma doesnt drop one of tarrant , edwards or mike it is a disgrace

 

[Lsta062]

Using "common sense" as opposed to not using common sense for nearly every other call is a terrible argument. Either allow common sense for every decision or follow the rules to a t, picking and choosing is why the umpiring is in the state it's currently in

Exactly. From now on, any player can say "oh but I did not hear it" and mount a defensible argument given that there is precedence

 

[Dreamend]

Poor umpiring, poor/stubborn coaching, missing key players and poor performances from a good 4-6 players in the team and lose by 6 points.

I don't know how to feel.

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

Let me tell you now Sydney did not win this game we LOST IT

Nankervis gives away a goal in the last 12 secs of the 3rd qtr. terrible clumsy play. Undisciplined

But if I had to point out why we lost the game, Gibcus on buddy cost us, Hardwick that's terrible coaching, being too cute, sorry but you can't put an 8 gamer on buddy who kicked 4 goals on him.

I didn’t hate it. Buddy was always going to be focal point. And Gibcus did ok. On the best for of the (post Ricoh) era. Not too many more opportunities to play on him.

 

[TigerImposter]

Tarrant is a defender who played on McDonald. McDonald had 6 touches, 2 marks and was scoreless.

Get this in your head. Tarrant is utter rubbish and a list clogger.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Oh yeah. The umps didn't cost us the game this week - not like last weeks abortion.

They were garbage to both teams. Absolute inconsistent garbage.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Where the hell was Soldo tonight?

Attempting to run

 

[Sol23]

Like the ones from the 17 to 21 campaigns.
Geez some people have very short memories.

No point getting stuck in the passed…

 

[Tenacious T]

Must be duck season….

Was soft. Half a sec late, play on. Ffs

[Karp3_dm]

Remember when the AFL umpires started the swans with a made up free kick at the start of the game for 6-0 head start?

 

[Juke]

Don't think we deserved to win at all, we played a deplorable second half and kept blazing away to 1 v 3s. Bad coaching to leave Gibcus on Buddy for so long.

Umpiring is what it is - we need to stop giving away undisciplined free kicks. I also thought we had the rub of it the first half.

6 - 5 at the bye is no disaster but realistically we aren't winning the flag this year, so let's continue focusing on the next crop of players coming through.

 

[Wooden Robot]

George didn’t touch the ball for THREE QUARTERS!!!! Give me a break

Two handballs ... one that was no good either.
Worst game I've seen from a Tigers player.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Sydney didn't play that well. We stopped punishing them on turn over after half time. Too many poorly skilled players.

Soldo a one trick tap ruckman and is useless around the ground. Unless he marks from a good pass is a liability in the forward line.

back to turning the ball over from modest disposal numbers. George WOG with 2 touches. KMac was below average and Shedda was poor in the 2nd half with only 4 touches.

faaark the corporation called the AFL off,give the keys to another business,someone ,anyone ,just not the AFL,theyre times done

Worst game I've seen from a Tigers player.

I’ll second that
