So here is our forward line coach on Saturday clad in a tigers scarf, announcing it's tiger time. I've been shot down by a few ppl this week on here saying I was making too much of Goodwin suggesting he would celebrate with the Crows if they win. Surely you look at this and shake your head in disbelief 

Oh my god!! Trac and Maxy are up for trade as well from that pic.... come on mate seriously? 

I think you're making too much of this too mate.

Chaplin played for them just recently so you can hardly blame him for still having a close affinity to the Tigers.

No one at the club cares for the club..it's a manufactured group that lacks soul

...

As long as that is acceptable, this club will go f.a. nowhere

He's hanging out with Jake 'the pushup' King

Do you also expect Jordan Lewis not to attend the Hawks 10 year reunion of their 2008 GF win? This is an absolute joke, our club isn't involved so he is there supporting his old club and friends, I have no issues at all with him wearing the scarf, he was barracking for the Tigers to win after all.

He also coached terribly this year and our forward line was disfunctional in most matches. Bloke is having a laugg, cashing in a paycheck from Melbourne and barracking for the opposition. Wonder what his feelings were during the ANZAC eve match

Spot the [censored] on.

He might be a bad coach but really I don't see an issue with this.

If we were palying them that would be another story haha.

It worked out well for us when blokes like 'Cuddles' Connelly, dare I say it the great man Jimmy and the like (good Melb people) ran the place. 

And we also had our key forward miss most of the year, not to mention other injuries.

You have to be kidding yourself if you don't believe ex players aren't going to have a soft spot for teams they played for, doesn't mean they barrack for them when we play against them. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Bernie Vince was there somewhere barracking for Adelaide. ?

Took us from 1944 points to 2035 points despite Hogan out for most of the year, Watts turning up in bad condition, no Vanders and Kent falling off the wagon. Developed ANB and Melksham in to pretty solid half forwards. Got a fair bit out of Hannan. And for a lot of the year our forward pressure took a big leap forward. 

There's issues for sure - talls getting in each others way, not enough leading up at the kickers and inconsistent tackle pressure. But Chaplin's coaching didn't make things worse than last year.

I'd be more concerned with the company he's keeping..

Mods please take control and shut this [censored] poor of a thread.

Chaplin is a mole, there to gain intel.

Optimistic view

I put a tiger scarf on and was cheering for the Tigers on the weekend too - oh no, call the footy police!! Seriously this thread is embarrassing

Pi55 him off from the club was terrible with the forwards this year.

What is embarrassing is that you'd do that and that so many of our supporters think it's OK to have senior club officials showing active support for the opposition. Other clubs wouldn't accept it. TONY SHAW lost a bet and had a Tigers scarf on at Richmond open training. The comments that flew his way, a media man and former player, were in stark contrast to the apathy being shown here. You might be OK with it, I'm not and the soft underbelly exists at the mFC coz those in charge don't understand the culture and are there merely to be paid. Your result...meek performances like Rd 23 2017.

And I cheered loudly when they kicked away from Crows.

Too right Deemented !!!  But wasn't it Toby Mitchell who was suspended by the Bandidos for associating with Jake King ?? 

By the way , well done on cracking the 1000 posts !! 

IF the Dees were in the Grand Final then I'd hope Cam Bruce, Brad Miller, Adem Yze etc were all there watching and cheering the boys on.

I'm more concerned that they wouldn't be than that Chaplin - 1 year post retirement - was watching the Tigers.

I was going for the tigers, does that mean I'm going to be ban from demonland. 

I'm not surprised.  Hardwick stumbled on to an effective forward structure by accident.  Chaplin is waiting for a similar stroke of luck because he has no idea what he's doing with ours.  It all makes sense.
