Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers

[shadesy]

Who identifies players like Jason Tutt to

A. Get drafted in the first place
B. Get picked up again after being delisted.

My god he is terrible.

Reckon we are ok. 10-11 players could go tonight and we would be better.


Tutt, Everett, Wood, White, armfield, Curnow, Carrots  (retired)... Etc.

Need a crumbling forward (amazingly), and some
Key backs.

Missed Nick Graham around the contest.

Umpiring was god awful. Kruezer clean mark then 3 50/50
Kicks in a row leads to a tiger goal and game over.

Injury issues tonight were genuine. It looked like it had an effect on our confidence. We looked for the boundary rather than the corridor. I am keen to see Sheehan and Byrne back in action. Something about them tells me they will be winners. Especially Byrne. I don't know what it is but I tell you it is there clear to see. We need Rowe back soon. We miss Judd tonight. He cut them a new one in the finals game we played against the Tigers. We are very shallow in the list department when injuries hit. Especially when players limp around during a game when things go wrong during a game.

We were down our 2 best mids in theory (Judd, Thomas). 2 best defenders (Rowe, and Jamo early in the 1st quarter). Had Murphy limp through the last quarter, and Gibbs having his left pec cause him to have no input of real use in the last quarter. White did have mobility issues after his hyperextension.

All this added to a list that is green without Betts, Waite, Garlett, Robinson, and McLean. One which has left last season, but we haven't replaced these key players just yet. I would love to see how the tigers go without Cotchin, Martin, Deledio, Riewoldt and a couple of players or 3 limping through a last quarter in their side.

Henderson was weak and hopeless down forward

this. has become a spud. play him down back or drop him.

Bloody well said Spanner, couldn't agree with you more.
We are definately one of if not the softest teams in the comp. It would not surprise me if Brycey boy has feigned his pec injury so he does not have to face the Hawks and Freo and embarrass himself with his soft c €$k game.
PS Pinning a guys arms and slinging him to the ground head first does not make you a tough player.

It does if you're Jay Schulz.

Gibbs lead the tackle count and had clean hands all night. Far from our worst.

Grigg had 25 disposals and 7 tackles...didnt rate his game much either....

Martin had 21 and 1 tackle...had way more impact IMO...

Free kicks were 30-25 in the Tiggies favor. Even if we play timidly, we cop it.

[Jack Burton]

Can someone explain FA to me... Apparently higher clubs pinch players from lower postioned clubs, who get picks to help them rebuild.

So we lose our only true forward, who apparently wasn't worth any compensation....

Is it just me or is the AFL toying with us?

We didn't get compensation because we picked up Thomas through FA the same year, and they were deemed to be equally valuable. The joke is on us....
