I still think that we need a tall for the long kick down the line. That was killing us early before Freo went into full witches hats mode. Geelong did it well against us as well. I think teams have realised if they can stop our overlap they can force us to kick to their talls and it's either a mark or stoppage for them.

Or is it only a problem when we are playing badly and not winning the ball out of the middle?

I really really like not having a big goof in the team but scared against teams with a couple of good marking half backs. :S

Just gotta get that four points next week by any means necessary.

Costanza out and caddy in

It will be Graham. Although Castagna has poor output recently. His pressure and perceived pressure in the forward line is important.
I'd love to see Graham stay in, but he will probably be the unlucky one.

I agree in a sense but would love to give hammer ago. As much as nank did hammer I believe for the finals will give us that better chance at the centre and stoppages. Its tough but we have to loom for the best edge we can get. Iam not a Hammer man but I think he will just give us a better edge

I don't think it's wise to bring someone in for finals when they haven't had any AFL level exposure for over a year.

Oh absolutely, but we started to use the corridor a bit more. Going for the pockets was pissing me off too. We have to play to our strengths and not burn out Nank before his time.

WHEN Jacob Townsend was warming up for his first senior match of the season on Sunday, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick set him two simple objectives; apply pressure and kick a bag of six.

Wow, Townsend actually took that challenge seriously. Hardwick was probably just joking around lol, but great for him to rise up to the challenge

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

We are going so well that a bloke who got 50 possessions and kicked 4 goals still no certainity to get a game.

We didn't just win. We won playing a fantastic brand of footy. Tough. Attacking. And honourable. When I see Hawthorne playing their stupid game like blocking the man on the mark ... and Essendon diving and playing for free kicks instead of actually trying to win the ball ... and then I see us playing the game the way it should be played it makes me proud to be a Tiger!

Absolutely. Would be a huge mistake and an unnecessary risk especially on a guy who is not best 22.

Jack Graham 13 possessions ,11 Tackles game high 78mins game time

Yer it's not so much the i50 that worries me. We have forced the ball to ground all year. It's between the arc when a teams really pressuring us. If Freo were a better team and we able to replicate what they did in the first quarter...it would have been a long long long day. I am still undecided and I'm sure the coaching team are as well. I think man on man defense works really well for us and a team like Sydney can actually stick to it. If you are forced to kick to Grundy/Rampe/Mills all day without a reasonable tall...it could be a disaster. When teams zone against us we are fine...but i've got the feeling we've been worked out. Freo just couldnt sustain it.

Career saving game?

No, time to trade him ,buy low sell high .

#43 for Essendon

Some Stupid unfunny Troll picks a night where our team flogged its opponent by over 100 points, and thinks he will get us to bite.

Is this a new way to troll is it?

What a dick.

 

[Michaels]

If Graham plays again next week and puts up double digit tackles again with some more clean possessions it will be extremely tough to drop him potentially

I actually agree.

If you look at our losses we've struggled to move the ball between the arcs because our run out of the backline has stopped and we don't have a good marking target.

Unsure what the solution is. Maybe Griff. Big call though.

Pav one of the best commentators going around ,gives great insight into what teams are trying to achieve by their game style .

 

[GoTigers2015]

Career saving game?

No, would have given him another year regardless. His form in the VFL has been exceptional and great that he has taken this opportunity with both hands.

Townsend has to back up his performance today for sure. It's out of those two as to who comes out for Caddy. However, if they both play to a similar level next week, Caddy might find it difficult to come back in. Who knows.

Good problem to have.

Or is it because he pumped us up all day?

I can see your point but I do believe we were a bit better with that 2nd ruck and hammer would be a lot better than Sodo. Even for next week I just think the support is helping Nank get thru the season

Interesting comment but remember Sydney only one by 104 points as well. We are so used not seeing us do so well we miss how well we play at times
