Game Day Round 3 vs Collingwood, MCG, Friday March 31, 7.50pm

[Greggy]

Smashing them in clearances by 9, it’s that outside link that’s not there. Pressure on the ball carrier is making life hard.

Need some midfielders to start stamping themselves into this game.

Our outside runners are having zero impact, we’re winning clearance but the young guys are failing to get into the right places, we miss Shorty.

 

[Groupie_]

The wet weather hasn’t helped us funnily enough.

its dry now

 

[Boston tiger]

Enjoying watching the backline. They are having a go.

 

[docko911]

We’re outnumber everywhere. Should’ve brought Sonsie and Dow in for Ryan and Young when we saw the weather.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Storm 12 rabbits 6 second half

 

[living_in_syd]

Be good if had sonsie and Cumberland starting instead of mansell and hugo . If you want to play ryan then jack cant play, atleast he can second ruck. Changes the team immediately. Need to bring back our speed and pressure. Got none.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Mansell, Young, Ross...

Good to see Baker, Vlastuin, Grimes and Balta the only ones who decided to turn up tonight lol

 

[lumpinee]

I find it hilarious that despite playing s**t, the fact we’re not 10 goals down is a huge tick for our defensive line lol

absolute shining light in this debacle

 

[docko911]

Can’t have Ross, Graham, Riewoldt and a genuine second ruck in the team. Getting badly exposed for lack of pace.

 

[Chunky09]

Surely one of Ryan or Riewoldt comes out for cumbo at halftime.
Don’t think it’ll change a lot but we are wayyyy to tall

 

[NZ_Tiger]

The way we play you’d think the mcg was only 20m wide.

[Rocco sifreddi]

Midfield is getting taken apart
Get baker on the ball

 

[sante]

its dry now

Slippery though. We are fumbling everything

 

[tigersab]

This game is fuggin toast. Get ya arse turned around Tiges and let’s go.

 

[DustinsGuns]

What is Ralph-Smith? He's defends like a B-Grade Houli but has none of the run.

 

[chriso11]

Some credit due here. Our backline has been absolutely immense to stand up to that. And a big shout out to Judson Clarke. Keep the kid in the team !!!

True they are holding up well

 

[smurfin]

Lucky to still be in this.
Tarranto, Baker, Prestia all better that term.
Hugo done a few nice things in the backline.
Cotchin, D Rioli & K-Mac been our most consistent.

One of those games where we seem to be handballing to flat-footed teammates. Collingwood appear to have more numbers everywhere around the ground.
Maybe we're conserving our energy to completely run over them at the end?

Maybe we should make Mansell the Captain to pass the form curse to him ( which would be unnoticable) so that Grimes and Nank can get back to their best.

 

[lumpinee]

oh well guys we gotta take the positives sometimes the backline has been mighty,even HRS has shown some dashing moments

 

[Snatch]

Taranto can piss off back to GWS whenever he wants.My 7 year kicks the ball better than this lemon.

 

[Forensi Tiger]

C’mon - game plan is not the issue. Won’t matter what we do. We are now playing hungrier faster teams- many of whom have had better draft picks than us for 5 years

 

[joelsyt]

How many forward 50 entries we had all game? How many touches has Lynch had? Sub Lynch for Cumbo?

I would agree with you, love Lynch, but so far not been his night, however he’s the exact type of player that can turn the game around if we can clean up our ball use and actually do something in the midfield so we can get the ball forward.

 

[Grechy]

Collingwood look hungrier. They get to more contests.

Grimes consistently overruns the ball.

 

[TigerTime88]

Cumberland on, Graham off.

Riewoldt or Ryan. Way to flipping tall.

 

[Coach_Required]

Need to get Nankervis out of the ******* ruck. He’s s**t.

He is even getting towelled up by Grigg (Johnson) tonight.
