A nice early one on TDL's chest would be beautiful. Looking forward to this afternoon. Our Mids need to win this one for us.

Playfair at full forward by the looks

Dwayne Wussell said in last night's game coverage that the Tigers were a very good chance to beat the Swans.

[Bas]

Mattner appeared to be standing there looking at the ball and no going after it. Replay showed same.

[hammo]

Mattner's having a shocker. Skills from both teams awful.

Jude working hard for a Goodbye thread this week. Felt left out after last week.

So is Playfair. No defensive pressure and dropping chest marks.

[Foreign Legion]

Sounds to me (on radio) as if Jude is getting a bit of the ball.

Does one of the Tiger players have a tattoo across his neck? WTF?

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Yes, Dustin Martin. Some Maori thing apparently, still looks crap though.

[Nich]

Usual suspects doing the work for us. Benny Mac is working hard again. Were would we be this year without this kid?

Jude is getting plenty. Hanners looks OK, Reg is doing a bit. Forward line is non existent again and there is no delivery coming in to leads.

I just don't understand why Playfair is in the team. He can't mark, drops uncontested marks, is slow so players run off him and to make it worse seems to be playing a roving sort of role rather than as a true HF or FF. He is just a nothing player imo.

Very scrappy so far, but I feel we can get on top of them as the game goes on.

It translates to "If you can read this you're tackling me too high"

Sloppy first quarter, the double team on Riewoldt (LRT + Mattner) not really working that well given he has kicked 2. Mumford was lucky at the end there to get the free kick. Richmond's intensity was super in that quarter, hopefully it falls away as the game goes on.
