Everyone’s missing the point that the tigers senior players in Sezer, Bateman and Klemmer all lost the plot. Continually blowing up at the referee. Worst decision was not sending Sezer for 10. He could have calmed down and got some messages from the coaches. He was still playing knowing he will get suspended for 2+ weeks and it showed.

You would think so.
I recall a few years ago, they had a crack down on touching the ref.
It was a blitz where any contact accidentally or not was penalised.
Do you guys remember that?
I can't remember the year, but I do remember the dogs getting pinged for the smallest of incidental touches.
The year you are going on about is 2016. I remember that all too well. All the refs were scared of getting germs.

Can't fathom the Tigers' fans blowing up about the ref. Must not have watched the same game as me.

Maybe everyone should pop over to Twitter and give Rob Bechara some (respectful) support. He seems to be having a bad day...

A portion of losing fans always blame the ref.. Dogs fans do it as well.. I know I do after Good Friday games

2016, that sounds about right.
I recall the dogs coping a few penalties for it that were pretty incidental.

There’s been lots of talk about our “midget bench” and how we will get smoked by bigger packs

I can’t remember getting owned yet and even yesterday against a big Tigers pack we handled them with ease to the point we gave Preston the night off

Hunt in a pack template is working a treat with our mobile pack of utilities !

It sure is, and I couldn't be happier.
I'm just concerned it won't take long for opposition coaches to counter it.
With a fast rushing defence compressing on the attack, the tigers got caught trying to do one out runs.
Early spread nullify that with ease and exposes holes and gaps in the line.

Dominated in most carries and towards the end he was feeding the ball the wingers instead. He stifled our attack on the right with his runs.
That's the big difference. Taafe puts extra workload onto our wingers to make more hit ups in kick returns and hence drains the tank of Fox and Kiraz in attack. That's why our wingers were pretty quiet yesterday. Tracey allows Fox and Kiraz to concentrate on what they need to do. Fingers crossed he is fit. CC in his press conference acknowledged what Tracey adds to the team so I don't think he is going to stuff around and get Tracey back in ASAP.

Taafe has definitely something to offer, but it's coming off the bench for impact.

Taffe also answered questions about playing halfback, he was first receiver multiple times attacking down the right. Didn't do much

That's on the weak ref

Only works when the ball stays in play, when the games stop start like in the first half we're going to have issues. I still don't think we have the right balance yet regardless.

Xerri played well, he’s coming along nicely.. not peak yet an a little way to go, next year he will be a machine. Starting to like Burton more now he’s running the ball a Playing his natural game too!!
I actually thought he would run away after that line break early In the first half but he got collected easy

Surely people saw the Tigers meat head players having a go at the referee all game especially Klemmer and Bateman, I don't know how Bateman stayed on the field that game as he kept carrying on and received a warning...

Also lets be real here, do people think that meat head footy players wouldn't find it easier to talk over a female referee? I find it easy to talk over any female in general, but during a physical sport usually dominated and surrounded by males with some being very frustrated this was bound to happen hence her losing control...

Referee or not, most meat heads aren't going to let a female put them in their place lol

I definitely do it too against the Good Friday match, but Im sure Casey gave us the same treatment as the tigpies yesterday. They talk about us running off our line early, thats what happens when you actually WANT to win games
