[MacDougall]

Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. This is just not fair. It's like the Tigers are cursed.

 

[Golden]

and as usual dumb play and we are going to lose as usual to a team that never wins away from home pathetic

 

[happy_tiger]

Forget the crap playing for penalties ,just play footy

 

[Demonborger]

The AFL works because the ruck officiating is neutral. When play breaks down the ref gets the ball and restarts it, this also allows for contesting to occur in actual play and not on the ground. The refs have to keep a black and white timing for tackles to create consistency and remove dominant rubbish (way to do this is to call a tackle after a player has made no more forward progress at at least a walking pace, then give them 3 seconds to play the ball and play on, and infringement is simply another tackle to the ball carrier, or if against the ball carrier a call to go back and play it from the mark). Then push the contesting and play to when the ball is in motion.

That way the ruck becomes neutral and the referee is not giving the same scope to influence the game.

and they take the lead, 20-18

Cowboys back in front.

 

[MacDougall]

For once we're the better team and we're still going to lose.

 

[Tigerdave]

[MacDougall]

[Tigerdave]

Mate you're about as boring as Marge Schott reading excerpts from Mein Kampf

They're clearly having a go, why don't give the pessimism a break just for one night.

 

[Tbone]

Tigers falling apart when they need to be playing smart footy. Get it together. Ava on. Could be a another try to the cowboys here. Decision pending…

 

[Golden]

I'm done can't even beat the cowgirls at home, might as well put money on us not winning another game this year

 

[happy_tiger]
