Well

They certainly don't like the umpires and the coach aka Mini is on the nose (mention of not having a plan B....where have we heard that before)

Yeah, I though all our HTB frees were hilarious.
Icing on the cake in the goal square 😂

    This post is quite reasoned but has that touch of despair that we MFC fans know so well....

    I can't take the blatant cheating, it's too much.

    It was terrible coaching and team selection.

    How JR8 can continue to play is beyond me, he is offering nothing.
    Why wasn't Cumberland selected after kicking 6 last week? We are screaming out for goal kickers and he is not there.
    Banks made too many errors, we need to give Hugo a run of games.
    Pickett needs to go back to the wing, Ross on the other wing and I would play KMac as a forward he would be 1000x better than Jack.

    Cotch can retire himself now he has been average

    It's season over, I can't see us winning many games from here on.

    I reckon the Tigers played out of their skins today. Martin was the best he’s looked for years. Shai is a gun and his speed from contest killed us.

    I’d be ok with that I saw from them today as a supporter. They tried to win. I like that attitude.

    Agree entirely.  It was a great game to see live.

    GAWD!  I just scrolled through about 10 pages of the toiges on big footy.  Apparently the umpires are cheats and are responsible for the loss.  THey are also responsible for the ;stand’ rule that means the tigers can;t win (what, they cannot understand the idea of ‘standing?)

    Hilarious.  I had a bit of a sick up into my mouth and needed mouthwash and a good hand sanitiser after that.  Suck it, toiges!  Too old, too slow, not good enough!

    I thought the opposite but it may be that my sarcasm monitor is down.

    How it is possible that we had only two frees to half time in a game played with finals-like intensity and crushing physical pressure, yet in the final term the umpires decides to start paying failure to dispose - think Kossie's goal square tackle?

    The umpiring was schizophrenic: Tiges 8 to our 2 early in the third quarter and at the end it was Tiges 9 to our eleven!

    Im with this. I thought they were fair and largely stayed out of it. The exception was the centre bouncing which was disastrous and directly cost us a goal in one instance, and before halftime (it changed after the break) they were curiously reluctant to recall the bounce.

    Lions was the best finish I’ve witnessed, crows game was a heart stopper and yesterday see sawed for 3 quarters. A regulation would against north this weekend would be a nice break for my heart.

    I was surrounded by tiges fans at the game. Most were ok but there was a group right behind me that mouthed off the whole game. Complete numpties.

    Any more talk about "shemans" in the Tigers' post match thread?

    Re umpiring ... Hunter kicking out after a point. He ran 30 metres without bouncing the ball ... lol!!! Tigers supporters round me were (justifiably) going spare.

    The HTB call in the goal square was harsh as well. I wouldn’t have been happy if a call like that went against us

    Broad putting his arm up to block Kosi didn’t help his cause. But I agree, very harsh call.

    It's a steep price, but he finded off and flopped to the ground and then held the ball in. Kossie earned the free from his pressure.

    I reckon a condition of entry to an AFL match should be to undertake a quiz re holding the ball rule. The Richmond supporters would literally call "Ball!" every time one of our players were tackled.

    Na he puts his arm up and flops before there was any contact. 100% should be punished.

    Yes the outrage is more about where the free was paid  - in the goal square-  when really that should be irrelevant. If its there , its there.  Nate Jones I'm looking at you. 

    Salem was hit high in front of us earlier but didn't receive a free as he shrugged his shoulder into it - play on.  Fair call.

    Objective tiges fans with us were conerned that the fighting spirit still with the team might mean Mini gets the gig under emotion . They want a change and don't see him as senior material.

    Statistically the umpiring was very unusual. It was 8 free kicks to 2 Richmond’s way in the third quarter, and then we got 9 frees in a row over the next quarter.

    I thought it was over umpired in the last quarter. In the first half it seemed the umps stayed out of it.

    I forgot about them. They’re that irrelevant. Been crying for 20 years about how they were hard done by when they took illegal drugs and got busted. So sad.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
