Perhaps it just that we don't yet have the players to win them. We all look for reasons to blame for a loss when it is more often than not that we don't have the required ability.

Seems like I am following you around today LH. Re the above while all those comments have merit and hopefully we will resolve them over the next decade. I have only one concern in the short term Did any of them cause us to lose last Friday evening as I cannot see that they did?

Interesting LH. The idea of a fan web site is for fans to express their views now nothing in the world is perfect so some will make silly comments however I would think if you try to censure comment then what is the point of of the site we might as well close it down. I have stated that I think Petracca is a little over weight and does not appear to have the running Stamina needed at AFL level in the 21st century game. I don't think there is anything wrong with that comment. Do you think I should keep that opinion to myself?

I agree Roost it and that diesel smog does not seem to be worrying the Tigers. Perhaps it is the wire fence that makes all the difference.

I agree Wiseblood if we cannot win this one we can start planning holidays in September.

Oh so that is why we lost to Port last Friday?

Nasher I always find it interesting that people think what is said on here has an effect on a player. Most players would not even know we exist let alone read our ramblings. Genuine question do you think the FD read this? If they do then do you think they take any notice? If a 100 people on here think Petracca Is over weight do you really think that has effect on his attitude? I am interested in your thoughts.

Yep the Weid struggles at VFL level who would swap Moore for him?

Billy there is no one with half a brain who would think that is a good deal.

Yep the only thing that matters is the score board. The rest has no influence on who plays finals.

In Early May I saw him at training and thought he was over weight Barney. Also seemed to have little stamina / desire in the running drills.

Rational thought Ernest what is wrong with you? I suspect you are not really a Dees supporter. Seriously though after 54 years lots of us are a little impatient and I for one am running out of years. However I never thought we would be in a GF in 2018 let alone win one. However I am going to be seriously disappointed if we are still doing this next year.

Sort of like 54 years without a flag Ernest?

There's the understatement of the week.

Just as long as they are nowhere to be seen DC.

White Board oval!

That's a given mono

Hope you are correct Dr.

Still a very good question Mr. Leg.

Spot on PD. Sadly I don't think he will be a match winner a good player but seldom in the "Match winner" class.

That is gut feel, as yet there is no physical proof like actually winning one of those games. When we win a couple I will believe you.

The point you are making will have little impact on the lunatic green lefties CBDees to them a tree is a tree is a tree. God help us but that is the world we now live in, it is all about warm and fussy and has little to do with the real world. Yes I am pessimistic this plan will fly.

Thanks dc you just made my day, I will have a smile for at least the next hour.

Of the teams currently in the eight we have only beaten North who are clinging to eighth so there is nothing to show that your statement is accurate.

Spot on BB sadly we are a 7th to 10th side still, there is no game killer in our ranks and our last 4 of the 22 are barely above VFL standard. More recruiting is needed and as we have no top picks in 2018 we will need a near miracle diamond find amongst the gravel of lower picks.
