Absolutely thrilled....

Just back from the game, sensational win from the boys…easily one of this clubs best ever.

It was cold and soaking wet, the Raiders were desperate, complacency could have been an issue, fiery game in the twenties had revved the crowd up....and we did that! Our ball control and defence was faultless, our attack sharp and precise, our fingers covered in glue....we played the entire 80 and demolished a team at their home ground. Just supberb.

Spoke to a couple of blokes after the game, grabbed Beau and told him how impressed I am by his game over the past year and a half asked him if Beau knows origin...he just smiled Heighno laughed and slapped him on the back. Robbie, Benji, Woodsey....all the boys were beaming they would be having a raucus ride home I would say.

This is how I wished the team to perform this year. It has taken 3 long months but we are almost there...I am over the moon with that win.

Isn't it funny how a teams performance can effect you so much. I'm bouncing around the house after that win! Dunno if I'm more happy that we put 40 on them or that we kept them to zilch

Both mate…plus our kicking game and decision making was top notch. If we couldn't score, we didn't panic and throw the miracle ball. We calmly rolled it in goal, got another set and tried again. It was a very professional, Melbourness performance mixed with our attack...ie the short drop out...it was almost perfect and was in horrible playing conditions.

Wasn't it nice to win a game and not have your blood pressure soaring through the clouds for the last 30 minutes .

Made the comment while watching the game to a few other Tigers supporters and we all had this relaxed satisfied grin :smiley:

Isn't it nice to have that confidence back in our team again

Yeah mate there was a tremendous feeling of satisfaction tonight. First time this year I have felt that. The only other time that came close was our ballsey second half against Brisbane.

Am thrilled too! It was very wet tonight but I've been colder at games at Bruce Stadium. Outstanding game from the tigers. A very happy Canberra based tigers fan here

Finally getting to watch the game now, I only heard the first half in the back of the ambulance on way to hospital after the wife insisted I could not wait to see the game had to record and leave. Luckily the Ambo was also a WT fan and had the radio calll up loud and clear. Of all the games I could have done with high blood pressure it would have been this one, as it would have saved me having to suffer the drip feed to get BP up. All good now enjoying the replay
