Everyone loves the Tigers and I have no idea why.  They don't play a brand of footy, nor have the cattle, that will hold up in September.  Matthew Lloyd was even calling Dimma the 'Coach of the Year'.  I hope they keep pumping up their tires as their fall will be all the more enjoyable when it happens.

Edit - and by everyone I mean them media.  We all know every neutral fan hates the Tigers.

tigers are good to watch i think.

they are a bit like us in that they've been super-competitive in nearly every game (bar the crows for them).

dimma is rightly being hailed as he's completely revolutionised their game style over one summer, where they're now playing with run and dash, and only have 1 tall forward (riewoldt) supported by five small runners (rioli, butler, castagna, lloyd, and now bolton) and as such their forward pressure is also really strong.

Heretic! 

Wiseblood will have you at the gallows by dawn!

I'll call it now - Tigers will still lose this game of footy.

You can't keep up this manic pressure for 4 quarters. The Saints can't, Collingwood had a fair crack on Monday but it wasn't good enough for 4 quarters. 

You could tell it dropped off towards the end of the 2nd quarter just then. 

I'Ve already won my money so hopefully the Swans have weathered the storm and come back to win by a point.

I cant believe people are trying to say Rance could be up there with the greatest fullbacks of all time. What rubbish. Firstly he hardly ever takes the opps best forward, he usually goes 3rd man up and he gets support now. 

You cant compare him to the likes of Silvagni and Scarlett and others who had to complete with great forwards like ablett, Dunstall, Carey Plugger who did it 1 on 1.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
