They also won’t kick that poorly in front of goal next time. No top 8 side should fear us at the moment, we will go out the same as last year assuming we even get a double chance

Game plan imo, we haven’t adjusted and teams have us figured out. We always play an extra behind the ball giving up equal numbers at the contest, this only works if we can split it at the contest and get the ball back via an interception often enough when we don’t. Problem is we aren’t winning it at the contest nearly enough and teams are being smarter when going forward. Goody needs to even out the numbers at the contest to give ourselves a chance.

Score line flatters us, we were beaten for 3.5 qtrs tonight, unfortunately same story as our other losses out worked round the contest, black line under pressure all night, fwd line non functional

Half a qtr of good footy blame Umpires all you want it’s our own fault been 2nd to it most of the night

How does port have more tackles while also having more of the ball shows a massive lack of effort

As weird as it sounds we need to stopping dropped an extra behind play it’s not helping when port just wins the contest at the ball 9/10 times

Once again we found lacking when playing top 8 teams

It’s imposter syndrome, if it was cats or lions or pies we wouldn’t think any think less of them. Having said that the next month will show if we deserve to be equal flag favourites

Not confident about us stopping there scoring, think this will become a shootout which means the game becomes a coin flip

Dunno what people are freaking out over, petty was never going to be fwd come finals and it seems he is surplus down back based on how Goodwin has played him this year. Surely it’s better to get Ben Brown in form as he will be needed if we are going to push deep this year

Easy win but once again we can’t stop teams scoring if we drop our tempo

Does anyone else feel this year has just continued on from the end of last, the gap between our best and worst hasn’t improved. We seem to have issues on every line. Doesn’t feel like it did in 2021 when it felt like we wouldn’t ever loose to anyone regardless of score. Maybe we hit our straps come end of year but feels more of a hope than a certainty

Why is gc always finding a loose man even after a stoppage in the 50, some lazy defending going on

Blues got a toxic supporter base went tonight and I’d hate to be a player for them, the crowd is so fast to turn on their own. Makes our meltdowns mid game look like a picnic

Now the moz is on him, watch him get subbed this week

I like to know which of our players under 21 excluding JVR he is most excited to see over the coming years and why.

I understand that if your 2 tall fwds only kick 2 goals from 22 that’s not a good thing and we should expect more output than what they gave.

Lost a bet with a mate who goes for blues on who would win by more not happy

Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

Good to see most of the role players not taking the foot off, shows the competition for spots is real

Only 1 of those picks is likely to be top 5 and the other 2 15-18 so it’s not much of gamble, we will still have freos 2nd pick which potentially is only a few down from our own 1st this year.

Feel like most people said the same thing last year and we went out in straight sets, the early season form tells me we don’t have what it takes vs the best and will just be making up the numbers come finals. This could be partly address if we didn’t muck round trying to play a fwd line primarily lead by a rookie, a backman and a ruck.

The luck been tigers aren’t a finals level team and are presently in the bottom 4. Tigers of only a few years back would have put us on our backside. We have lost 2 of 3 games against the present top 8

Good to get the win but hopefully the team learns some lessons from that. Petty isn’t a forward and needs to go back. Hibbo is done unless injures dictate he plays, he gets beaten way to often these days and has lost a step, I counted his direct opponents kicking 4 goals tonight possibly more Tmac or Brown needs to always play to assist Vanrooyen, a forward line consisting of him Petty and resting ruck won’t work against any sides come finals. All in all we just got lucky tigers aren’t the team they were.

Or is this our level at the moment, we are on track to concede another 100 points again, win or loose that’s not finals footy
