Tigers V Bombers


Toorak

Recommended Posts

I watched us play Port, then I watched a little bit of Bris/Carlton and switched it off.

Melb Vs Port was a far better game to watch than Bris Vs Carlton.

Not sure about this Essendon Vs Tigers game.

I don't know if it is the level of footy that has lost my interest - or the amount of cans I've had, could go either way there.

Richmond are a rabble, we've passed the torch by the looks of it.

We helped by giving them Miller, A.Maric and Petterd to go with their spud farm of recruits; Hampson, Chaplain, A.Edwards, Grigg and softy Houli.

Meanwhile Schulz, White and Derickx are killing it at their new clubs, even Nahas has had a small impact at north.

Most of my family and a lot of mates are Tigers supporters so I take a lot of interest, and an immense amount of joy watching the [censored] hit the fan and the microwaves melt the cards.

Cotch can't kick over a jam tin, Riewoldt is a downhill skiing sook.

Imagine how bad they'd be had Martin left.

This loss will fuel speculation that Worsfold is waiting in the wings. Dim a is gone I would suggest.

Interesting thought about Wosha, Chook. At this rate, I'd be surprised ih Hardwick sees out the season.

I was staggered at the talk of top four for Richmond this year. Never rated them at any stage. They peaked last year and got found out at the first hurdle in the finals, but convinced themselves their list just needed a top up. Their delusion was rampant and widespread and it has cost them. Time to start over.

I'm looking forward to when we play the bombers in two weeks.

Judging from what I've seen tonight we'll smash them.

Weren't they supposed to be served their notices by the end of May - only about 100 minutes to go.

The Tigers will be really struggling to get anywhere near ninth place. Top 4 - pftt.

I think it was the show cause letters that were due to be distributed by the end of the month. Besides, the way this thing has draged on..and on...and on, you didn't really expect them to stick to a timeline, did you?

It has been for years. The supporters run the club and the board and surrounding staff are too [censored] scared to offend them. And when you add to this that the supporters are either drinking champagne because their team is better than anyone or drinking cyanide because they are the worst team in the league, then you have mob rule, and that never works. It especially won't work down Tigger Alley because their supporters are so freakin' unbalanced and unrealistic.

Normally when you point at cultural problems in a club you target players, or coaches or admin. Down that way it's the supporters that harm the club in ways that no other club has managed, and probably won't.

Until that changes they will either be suffocated by unrealistic expectations when they win, or drowned by the vitriol and anger that accompanies losses.

But enough about putting the boot into the RFC in its moment of pain (as fun as that is). I want to talk to that fella that defected from us to go join them when we had our teatime of the soul. What was his name again?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
