Up the Tigers

Well done Subi. I am so looking forward to a summary of the game from those who were there, especially the last quarter, wow, must have been tense. I just had to sit back here in NZ and keep refreshing the wafl.com.au page for progress scores. Was glad when it gave the final score!!
I did notice that Jackson, Sokol, Bradley and Mahoney all had under 10 touches. Injured or didn't get much of a run??

Greg and adam to come, plus yarren decent ressies game. Is kyle the man?

Problem with Hancock?

Really good win by Subi away against a strong AFL representation for Peel.

Terrific effort by the boys. The difference in height was noticeable especially in the ruck with Dela rucking for the first 15 mins of each qtr to be replaced by Clanger. The chunder had Zac Clarke and Hannath but I thought our guys lost the taps but won more possession around the ground than those two streaks of chit. I thought we tried hard in the first half and probably had more inside 50's but the likes of Silvani and co repelled far too often. Best players in the first half for mine were Dela, Horse, Lockyer, Kitch and Twomey. Our effort in the third increased dramatically with a five goal to one third qtr. Halligan was fantastic and a goal he kicked from about 40 meters into the wind really set us up. For once, I also the thought the umpies give us a pretty good run and we seemed to get the benefit of the whistle. Last qtr was outstanding defence. FART pushed hard but we withstood the challenge. It was at this point of the game I thought without Bennell who was very good, Silvani and maybe De Boer we would have ran away with it. Hancock hurt his knee and they were calling for a stretcher but fortunately he managed to walk off into the rooms himself. I was at the race after the game when the boys came off and he was saying to the others that he was ok. He might have a low grade strain with a bit of luck. Overall it was a brilliant performance against a team of fulltime footballers. Best imo was Horse, Dela, Halligan, Lockyer, Kitch and a special mention to Hamish Shepherd. I think he's going to be very good for us and presented up, took some strong marks and really added something.

Well done subi, shove it up the purple scum.

Just a knock to the knee, he said it's just bruised

that's good news outer as he's important to us. get back the cock, brought, stevo, rhysy waters and we should be ok. it was very noticeable today the difference with horse having a full preseason. he was outstanding getting the contested footy and kitch wasn't far behind
