That first half tactic of kicking long to a 50/50 contest to half forward, while the pies played the run and carry tactic with numbers around the ball was frustrating dumb football.
Once we started to run and handball more after half time everything began to click.
Simply couldn’t match their numbers around contests once the ball hit the ground.
Still confident we’ll come good at the pointy end.
Go Tigs

Our skill level was shit becouse of their pressure
On the ball carrier
They played our 2017 style on us.

 

[DickieKnee]

Baker.

Good call, but that would also mean we need to introduce young players. I've worked in these situations in pretty high pressure jobs (not football)and old stalwarts dont like being told what to do by youngsters. Rumours are Deledio was like that. We are in transition. Hopefully it was just a bad night, but geeze we looked bad at times and the scoreboard flattered us.

I'm glass half full that the coaching committee will now be humble enough to realise we need a more dynamic team selection and stop hoping that 'our best' comes to play each week.. don't go kamikaze with playing the kids, but don't go arrogant with 3 talls and rewarding players because they won a flag years ago

"Yeah, look. Credit to the Pies, they're a good side and they'll play finals. We identified some areas today that we need to work on and made some mistakes that we normally wouldn't so we'll work on these during the week and learn from them going forward."

Same old line from Dimma, bookmark it. He'll spout on about learning from mistakes and working on things, but nothing will change.

Game went as I thought it would. We got smashed around the ball because we replaced two contested beasts in Dusty and Hopper with outside runners — and yet we still looked slow.

 

[Rubber Hips]

When does our VFL play?

edit…found it…1 April 2pm v Coburg away

 

[Juke]

How many times at the contest did we get it forward only for the Pies to release out the backdoor and then handball over the top of all of our stoppage players?

Our midfield is so slow and we now have the opposite problem to last year, where we can win clearances but they're ineffective and under pressure.

A lot of tuning to do.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Really no point of difference when our midfield
Are one paced that's why Sonsie gives us that
Leg speed around the stoppsge

 

[Groupie_]

Our skill level was s**t becouse of their pressure
On the ball carrier
They played our 2017 style on us.

no stand rule in 2017

 

[Grockadoc]

When does our VFL play?

Tomorrow, 2.05 pm at Coburg.

Not saying we're winning a flag this year but in 2019 we got belted by the Pies in Round 2 by 44 and then followed that up with another belting at the hands of GWS in Round 3.

We've been here before.

Up the Tigs!

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

No major changes , put up a good effort in the end against the flag favourites.
Lay off Nank, conditions didn't suit him.

We are old and slow.

Dimma can't keep persisting with the old firm all year, they are not the players they were.

How ****ed is it we recruit to sort clearances
Now we have a one paced midfield
Sonsie must come in

 

[voorhees]

fantastic display of leadership by cotch,the champ has still got more to leave on the park.
Ross has to stay in the line up.
steady the ship next week and were about were we should be.
proud of you tige's!

 

[crackertiger]

In VFl report mentioned he wasn’t fit enough for seniors just yet but not far off it

This makes me angry. We make kids get 100% fit while we play old blokes that play at 70 to 80% pace.

 

[Groupie_]

first time pies have lost a free kick count since 2017

our players were confused and didnt know what to do with 3 extra frees

 

[Turka]

feels like a scrape into the 8 year

Yeah it could be Groupie_ But at least we scrape into the 8…

[Juke]

Also, would it trouble our key forwards to lead at the football? So predictable and to easy to kill when all we do is send it as far and as high as possible. Although the first half I note we over possessed and seemed scared of even going inside 50.

 

[lumpinee]

we're not winning the flag with Cotchin,Taranto,Prestia,Graham types all in the same 22,we just dont have enough outside run if we play all those guys together unfortunately
so we gotta bite the bullet & play for the future,Clarke,HRS,Banks,Sonsie and Gibcus when fit,we gotta play these guys as much as possible from now on
same goes for Ryan when its appropriate and Cumberland,he needs to play every week to

 

[living_in_syd]

Macare and leppa got the lies playing more like Richmond than we do. Starting to think dimmas gone back to playing favourites and no speed
