Bont missed an absolute must kick goal, and 3 posters in the last quarter.

Should have won:

Lippa has had a day to forget poor bugger

Well, looks like he's going to.

Great effort to stick in there and play a brand that was exciting (and sometimes frustrating) to watch. We should’ve won that with 3 posters, but a great effort by lynch on that last kick.

We need a big pre season in the weights dept for the under 22’s and gotta get some elite kicks into the starting 22.

Three posters in the last 15 minutes was the difference between the teams. So frustrating to get so close. I'm gutted.

I wanted that one as bad as any win I've wanted since 2016.

One thing I loved was Lynch wanted that shot. He took his time and was confident he could kick it. Not many of ournplayers would want that opportunity.

We expect to win against top sides and are dissapointed when we don't. Great effort boys.

I would have been gutted if we got smashed and would have taken this scoreline if it was offered at the start of the game.
Great stuff from a side depleted by injury all year and using its rookies most of the year in which one won our goal kicking.

We missed our chances no doubt but while I hate losing there were some great signs today.

We can't be critical of players that stand up to be counted when the pressure is on. I think the performance of Lynch was good today.

10 players under 50 games, and Tigers just 3. Exciting future with some of these kids.

Tiger fans continually whinged about the free kick count but they got two dubious ones in front of goal for holding the ball, which to me was just rubbish.

Good point, G. And I agree. Wasn't overwhelmed by the moment.

I think we were extremely well coached today and may have given other sides a blue print on how to limit the Tigers game plan. Without turnover goals they struggle to score from stoppages and if you can hold your nerve and play through them you're a chance. Caleb was absolutely superb today.

A win would have been nice for momentum but hopefully that close loss burns all offseason similar to the one against the crows in 2015
