Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Storm @ AAMI Park

[super_coach]

We did but we just rolled out the red carpet for them...our stats ..completions were good...even the commentators said we didnt play badly, but trying to compete with them with a standard error free game was just a blank canvas for the chooks.

Bottom line, outside the top three..Chooks,Storm and Rabbits and possibly a near full strength Sharks we are a good chance of winning...but with the sides I mentioned we are still along way from being able to beat them......but I am hoping the next few weeks will prove me wrong

 

[Tiger05]

The team to me looks pretty good. Aloiai back in for Clarke. Our bench looks really good. All those players can have an impact on the game. They also have some mistakes in them but hopefully we see their upside not the downside.

 

[The unknown]

The backs have switched sides which is interesting. Marsters with Thompson and Jennings with Fonua

I'd like to have seen Clarke stay on the bench but I guess Chee Kam adds more (?) at this point and Aloiai definitely belongs in our strongest 17

 

[Fordy20]

Yep, Cheeky is the designated utility. He can play centre pretty well and has good footwork to play in the second row. The real question mark is why Aloiai isn't in the 13 and why Clarke isn't one of the props on the bench. Maybe Madge is just easing him in.

I don’t think Aloiai is anywhere near as effective when he starts. In the first 4 rounds he was a beast off the bench, I’m pretty happy for him to go back there

Aloiai was playing his best footy off the bench imo, plus Einsenhuth is one of those work horse players - isn't too flashy but gets through a mountain of work so I agree with Madge there

Clarke added more than Packer in 15 minutes than Packer does in his usual 40 min stint so unsure why he got dropped. Maybe like you said, just easing him in

Gday lads. Will be heading down to Melbourne and going to the game, amongst other things.
Does anyone know if there's a boozer travelling fans might be hanging out at pre-game?
Hoping the boys make a good game of it.

Send Madunit a pm , he is from Melbourne so would probably have a good idea.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Speaking of Madunit he hasn't been on here for ages....used to like some of his posts.

He might be lurking. The merkin should post more often.

He might be lurking. The merkin should post more often.

It got a bit messy with him and some of the others and he basically said he wouldn't post anymore and others were pleased with that. Don't know the bloke but seems to be less fights / drams as a result. Whether that's his fault or others just having a sook at what he posted, I don't know.

 

[Fordy20]

Well that's less than ideal. Most of the time when Madunit was barking off at merkins he was right. He knows his shit

Game Day..We have more belief now than at any other time this year after last weeks game regardless of the opposition. I think we are growing as a unit despite the individuals not being superstars. I predict the quick Marshall pass to Matterson as an unexpected playmaker out wider than expected will be seen more today and in future and will help us have an edge over other teams. I think the guys are ready to die for the cause..Deep down they believe they can beat Melbourne..Parramatta had no reason to believe that..I think Bellamy will be nervous. He knows there’s something about us and when we click watch out. Tigers by 12

Madge’s coaching is the key difference for us compared to this time last season & pre ‘18.(‘12-‘18).Reputations & money earnt mean nothing to Madge when selecting teams.Its based on attitude & form.If only we had speed(papenhuyzen JAC & the turd) we’d b a genuine top 4 contender.

So true .. on both statements.

 

[Shredder]

I actually have a good feeling about this one.

So some reason Im thinking we will win a tight one.

Could completely go the other way, but I jut feel it.

I'm starting to like our coach a lot. His complete lack of giving a f**k in relation to reputations and the amount they are being paid is great.

I like the way he is picking players in the pack who do the job and that means having some leg drive and impact for our middle forwards.

As for the speed comment how many guys on here are stating to get rid of Liddle who has speed. We need as much speed as we can get. We must have one of the slowest teams in the comp.

Speed is only useful if on the field. Liddle still has not shown he can handle the stress on his body.

He is only young though. I think you need to give guys that look good a bit of time.

 

[Magpies Forever]

Im all for Liddle to show what hes got vs Cam Smith and lets face it, Liddle's contract comes up at end fo season, so he would want to go well. Perfect opportunity for him.
