Ready for tomorrow. Car'n the Blues!
Great start Blues 4 straight can't ask for better
Great start Blues 4 straight can't ask for better
You could ask for 5 straight. ;)
We got 5 ..... But evening up a fraction
So who wants to talk to me about how good of a kick Cripps is?
Kennedy in the rooms ankle
or perhaps how we are not too top heavy down back with Weitering forced to man up Martin?

Not a good match up that
We need a goal to settle a bit consolidate the early rush
Not a good match up that
3 scoring shots in a row directed through weitering man.

Yes he doesn't look in the zone today. Slow and unsure

That was a shocker.

Krudds has a new whipping boy ;)
Great start... 6 goals u beauty. Tiges fought back like a decent team should but we steadied.
Im happy with the intent... we are attacking so it's gonna bite us from time to time with turnovers.
Dont know if we can win if it turns into an arm wrestle... so lets keep attacking and see what happens.
The Tigers premiership hangover lasted about 10 minutes. Back on top by the end of that quarter.
Loving what the boys are bringing to the contest. Keep it up lads.
I'd forgotten what a sh1te channel Ch 7 is!
Anyway i guess it's been aboutwhat we could have expected so far apart from us tearing out of the blocks. Just noticed Kennedy back.
If we can get a goal early will be great need to steady, after our initial burst Tiges created a skirmish and unsteadied our players
Krudds has a new whipping boy ;)
Not at all, but i tried to tell people....nobody wanted to listen.
It should be a team balance thing...and there was never a matchup for him.
Charlie just got pinged for that... exact same thing in tiges fwd line 2 mins earlier... ball up... farrrrk off
We must be playing ok, umps doing their best to keep the tiges in it. Tiges seem to be playing to a different interpretation of prior opportunity/HTB....
I’m getting pretty sick of umpire 16 paying holding the ball against us ...4 so far...
Riewoldt talks the umps into WASP frees....pr!ck
Kennedy off again not looking good with that ankle
I hope it isn't an Achilles. We've manned up Martin 1000% better than last year.
Daisy.... slow... missing targets and fumbly.... a worry
Matty Wright - love him to bits.
Daisy too smart for the umps.
Gift goal Tiges bad decision against Daisy
I dont like sooking about umpires... but we are getting farked over... cotchin fair disposal ... ??? daisy illegal 10 seconds later.... farrrk off
I dont like sooking about umpires... but we are getting farked over... cotchin fair disposal ... ??? daisy illegal 10 seconds later.... farrrk off
And cost us a goal
umps are raping us.... we'd win a flag with umpiring like the tiges get.
Weitering is playing like a shot duck.
Gee Daisy getting a tough run mark disallowed
Maggots killing Daisy (& Blues), starting to get angry now ...2 teams 2 rule interpretations
Hanging on by a thread now... blow the bloody siren
onya Ciaran, don't take any crap from that piece of trash
Our forward entries are getting cut off to easily finding a clean target could have made such a difference. Don't really bash umpires but we have a bad run so far.
Maggots killing Daisy (& Blues), starting to get angry now ...2 teams 2 rule interpretations
Spot on... different umpires at different ends... farking annoying
Apart from the first 10 minutes, Tigers have been the better team, but not by much.
We're going ok. As soon as the umps get the hang of the rules we should be fine. ::)
Our forward entries are getting cut off to easily finding a clean target could have made such a difference. Don't really bash umpires but we have a bad run so far.
Yes, 2 or 3 times we've coughed it going forward.
Richmond getting alot more of it and doing better but we are able to score when they get close.
Please resign cripps for a further 10 years!!
Jack needs to contest harder and need more from Cas if we are going to win this.
Will miss Kennedy as the game goes on.
Just need to clean up our disposals and we would have been further ahead
So i was one suggesting that we should have played McKay tonight.
I thought it should've been at Weiterings expense, but would've been ok if it was at Casboults.
Just had a look at the half time stats.
Weitering - 1 handball
Casboult - 1 handball
Those 2 are the lowest possession getters, and supercoach scorers on the ground!

It may well have been McKay with only 1 handball. And just to be clear, I wanted him to have a block of games to start the season.

Settle, they have had 6 more scoring shots than us. Our good disposal in front of goal has kept us in it. (Cripps shocker aside)
Please resign cripps for a further 10 years!!

Weitering and Casboult are struggling at either end. Doubt we'll see alot from Levi tonight with Rance on him. Best he'll do is occupy Rance's time. Weitering will sort himself out as time goes.
It may well have been McKay with only 1 handball. And just to be clear, I wanted him to have a block of games to start the season.
Yes, and he'd be better for the run.
It will give no benefit to the other 2 to put in a similar performance. Their confidence will be shot.

Jack who??
4 points up and there are about 6 non contributors. A full team effort 2nd half and we could hang in there. BTW Dow hasn’t done a lot, but what he has done and what he’s tried to do looks very, very good. Just needs to find the tempo.
Yes, and he'd be better for the run.
It will give no benefit to the other 2 to put in a similar performance. Their confidence will be shot.
I guess so. And just to reiterate my pre season rants, I'm worried about Weeters, and it's got nothing to do with match ups.
Jack who??
I'm thinking that would be the Silvagni variety.
I think he hits contests about as hard as you could expect.
I guess so. And just to reiterate my pre season rants, I'm worried about Weeters, and it's got nothing to do with match ups.
I'm not worried about him long term, i just think he's our 4th best defender and he is simply not needed in certain games, this was the obvious one i pointed out previously, but there will be more.
Great start and honestly if we made a few less mistakes could have been much better. They worked their way back in with the help of further mistakes and umpiring assistance but you have to love their attacking flair. Very entertaining. Let's just keep our noses in front for 2 more quarters. :)
Have to think the young bodies will tire as the game goes on. Simmo, Crippa, Murph, Kreuz all good. Backline real good (apart from Weitering who looks panicked?)
Charlie and Wri.ght have been great up forward. Mullett, no good. SOS and Levi terrible.
If we are in front at 3/4 time we are a real chance I think.
Weiters does not look like a happy camper atm. Needs to settle and build confidence. Byrne looked a bit shakey early but seems to have steadied now. Levi is certainly struggling on Rance but many do.
And on a side note, can we nab the "real Daisy" for our women's team ?
True but at the end of the day it's about out put, and it's not there at the moment. A little make or break time for SOJ doesn't impact at times , if he has low numbers then he needs to have a few goals to his name, but does happen either
I'm not worried about him long term, i just think he's our 4th best defender and he is simply not needed in certain games, this was the obvious one i pointed out previously, but there will be more.
Well, I'm worried about him full stop.
I'll enjoy it now while we sit on top of the live ladder...lol.
Which we're not anymore.
But are again!
Well, I'm worried about him full stop.
Yes tend to agree PaulP, hasn't looked the same after the first season
Charlie C will be something.
Great goal,,,,,but knee? Charlie no....
Simmo should know better than that....poor from a senior player at a crucial time
That must be our best team goal in about 10 years.
We are getting hammered by those fecking maggots. Every time we get tackled, free kick. Where was Curnow's prior? Every time they get tackled, ball up, or the Kent maggots find a free for them.
Their first goal, which broke our momentum was the softest free ever given.
AFL love a fairy tale, so long as it's not Carlton wearing the tiara!
Tigers really are very slick, very well drilled, and very quick. Play on quickly, no mucking around with the ball.
Very good effort from us tonight. Loving what I'm seeing so far. Looks like a rusty version of 2011.
Would have been great if Dow had nailed that one . Kruze looks like a groin strain?
Out on the full...crap!
Would have been great if Dow had nailed that one . Kruze looks like a groin strain?
If he goes if we can release Levi from Rance to the ruck and put Weitering forward.
Levi can't judge the flight at all tonight......including the ruck contest then.
Levi time to make your mark for the game , hasn't been involved yet
Weiters made a mistake with his 2nd touch, but managed to get a free kick out of it. Doubles his entire game output in 10seconds! lol
Levi's having a shocker. This'll go out on the full.
EDIT: Knew that would work..lol.
...and now casboult gets a hand from the umps to get into the game.
a considerate bunch.
Nice goal too.
Nice one Levi ,
Levi's having a shocker. This'll go out on the full.
EDIT: Knew that would work..lol.
You got it wrong, when he dominates, he f***s up the kick.
When he is very average, he slots them.
Liam's misjudging his leaps too.

Haha...yes!
weitering looks slow and disinterested
Had to rewind, but that was Weiters direct opponent that ended up with it then. He peeled off him just before he got the ball on his own.
He's having a 'mare.
Umpire 16 strikes again...who is that germ?
...and the umps giving weiters a helping hand again.
EDIT: Should've kicked it for him too. :-[

I'm tipping he'll never play this bad again ever.
Charlie reminds me of Waite at times just slight brain fades at time
Charlie kicked that like me.
I'm thinking Cripps is leading the Brownlow so far..lol.
Fox just showing Kruze in the rooms doing some run throughs could he be coming back?
Cream rising?
Cream rising?
Injuries taking their toll.
Playing 2 down at the moment.
Scratching and clawing to keep staying in but we are.
We so need another big body to support Cripps. Dow, Murphy, Fisher, SPS... they're midgets at AFL level. We need another smash and bash merchant who is actually good enough to play.

He injured himself in the first half.

That would be Kennedy :o
Murphy was almost our best in the first half but completely disappeared that qtr.
I understand its Kennedy but if he's injured what's the next big on ball option.... ?
Simmo showing he was right not to retire, standout again. Worried about SOJ , not many places he can play really? Little impact.
Murphy was almost our best in the first half but completely disappeared that qtr.
Yes we need a lift from him, Weitering and SPS. Just need to hold on and hopefully they don’t risk Kreuzer as he doesn’t look right
Too slow.
4pts down 3qtr time... Id have taken that if offered at the start of tge game.
Battered and bruised I cant see us hanging on... :(
If Kruezer can get back out there maybe Casboult can clunk a few in the last and get us over the line.... hmmm Im clutching at straws
For the amount of guys who have not had any impact it's amazing we're only down by 4 points!
Need a big quarter from Muphy seeing as he had a real good rest that quarter. Cripps has been ENORMOUS. Can he carry us on his back?
Looks Kruze is back on , hope medicos are doing the right thing?
I50's, shots on goal and tackles are a worry. Only 40 tackles to 3/4 time.
Still amazed that mob won the flag, gees they have some crap trucks running around.
Marchbank has been impressive tonight , some nice marks and clean.
Ok take the goal but? Really light free?
Looks Kruze is back on , hope medicos are doing the right thing?
Kruezer on 1 leg is still better than Casboult on 2.
Still amazed that mob won the flag, gees they have some crap trucks running around.
You're falling into the same trap as flyboy - looking at their players individually they're average - but as a collective, as a team, their best 22 is great.
Charlie first player to kick 5 goals since Henderson
Marchbank has been impressive tonight , some nice marks and clean.
Probably been BOG, won't get the recognition though. Has not been beaten all night.
Plowman either really.
Stuffed that up. Lucky it was a point.
Still amazed that mob won the flag, gees they have some crap trucks running around.
Don't sell us short! :)
I'd take the draw from here.
Blow the siren.
Hope Richmond's crape kicking loses it for them.
want us to win just to piss Dusty off
See what crape kicks do SOJ!
Poor forward entry cost us that goal
We refuse to use the ball properly. FKKKK!
Starting to open us up now :(
Floodgates open.... could end up losing by 6 or 7 goals now ????????
Looking shakey but still time. We are making too many mistakes now though.
Goodnight Vienna! :(
Told ya to blow the siren ::)
Our good players have been swamped by the putrid efforts of teh bad.... Weitering has given up about 10 tonight, has stunk. Byrne. Mullet just as bad. Jack, Levi...WTF?
Nice goal but look exhausted.
Soft Mullet, very soft.
Let's at least kick 2 more and get 100.

Another free man courtesy of Weitering.
I expect several apologies after this game.
FWIW, i thought we got more out of Mullett than i was expecting.
Levi's at least looked better since he's been rucking but is looking exhausted looking at a couple of those contests.
Hasn’t Fisher looked more at home in the midfield than the flank ?
Rolled tonight, but if you’re not happy with where we’re going then go find another club/sport
Come on, one more to get 100.
Same old same old, gotta play 4 qtrs kiddies. Tigers are a well drilled side.
there was an incident in the centre with about 2.15 left=- either a kick or a stomp but it was very ordinary.
Nince tiges mark, obvious shepard by Lippy Riewoldt, gees they get a better run with the maggots than essenscum, and that's saying something
Byrne, Lamb, Silvagni not up to it tonight
Weitering, Casboult, SPS not enough

Graham and Byrne would be the contest. Bit of a scrap from a rundown tackle on Byrne. Didn't see anything too bad from it, but i dont think the camera caught the whole stoush.
Credible performance against superior opposition, well drill team. But great to see a strong team effort new boys will be better for the run
We look better than last year but there's still some ordinary players in our side.
After quarter time we were only hanging in, if not for Cripps and a few others we would have been well beaten.
We were dead exhausted that last qtr but we did keep hanging in. Bigger, stronger bodies ran then game out alot better.
Weitering will never play a game that bad again............ever! SOJ struggled big time, Levi couldn't get near it in the first half but waaay better in the 2nd half when he was rucking and away from Rance
Having Matty Wright on our list is like finding a mint copy of the original release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (the one with 4 tracks that were subsequently deleted) in the dollar bargain bin.
Come on mods. Let's lock this up.
Great effort by the boys, but still plenty of work to do.
I hate to say it because it sounds like a pet hate type situation but.......... Marc Muphy.
Jeeeeez.
He's a follower not a leader. He's the guy that gets on the end of others good work and when the whips are cracking he disappears from games to an extent where you could be forgiven for thinking he'd actually left the state.
I hate that he's our captain. He's just not a leader.
We would be a 4 goal better team by making Cripps captain.
We hung in for a long time against a much stronger team that put us under a lot of pressre. Imo a respectable result and I think we 'll definitely gobetter than last year.
Cripps is already half the team as it is. No need to burden him the captaincy, not for a while anyway.
got out of the starting blocks like we had a point to prove,
when the game settled, a few couldnt get into it, a few lifted and a couple got hurt
Could have blown out in the end, it didnt which was good, but the following were poor
silvagni (lack poise, fustrated quickly)
weitering ( a real concern)
casboult
lamb
fisher stepped up, garlett was ok, cripps had to do it all, wright was great, curnow lives up to the hype, dow needs to learn pressure the other way
3-4 years ago we laughed at this mob, they are reigning premiers now and finished like them.

What an ass about way to look at it.
We hung in for a long time against a much stronger team that put us under a lot of pressre. Imo a respectable result and I think we 'll definitely gobetter than last year.
Didn’t they have 15 more shots than us? We really got lucky tonight with some fortunate 50s and we were a mile off the pace at the end

I say give the captaincy to Doc.

Our smaller bodies were exhausted by the last qtr. Some could hardly raise a gallop at the end.

Surely u jest.
Cripps couldn’t have done much more And Murphy the. Same

Often though, when it looked like they were on top, we found a way to kick a goal and stay in it.

Alot to take out of the game, alot to improve on too.

Absolutely, farking bizarre
Let’s not let our toughest leader be captain.
Let’s give it to the bloke getting shoved to the ground all the time

Docherty doesn't get shoved to the ground at all. Cripps is already carrying half the side as it is.

Year 3 of a 5 year rebuild, running out of excuses. Need to deliver, run out games, less fumbly panic stricken running.
.
.
Best we go and end it all now...
In support of Kruddler’s point of recent weeks, Weitering was on a mismatch with a jumping jack, someone did mention that he looked panicked, it’s no wonder...
SPS was patchy, I liked Fisher in the middle, Kennedy was sensational before being injured, as was Kruiser.
Sos was in a lot of contests and presented, just didn’t win many.
Not sold on Mullet. Cas was ordinary before going into the ruck.

Yes, but remember who we were playing. That will sort itself out in the wash.
