I was banging my head during the game but now just feel gutted. It's like we'll never get out of this hole of failure :'(. It like 1987 revisited where we gave up games that should have been won week after week early in the season. Loses like this kill a club's year. Eventually the floodgates open when the team gives up after getting so close so often and you cop hiding after hiding :'(.

Yes MT I understand, we actually if you really look at it have a very difficult draw. The Collingwood game tonight and the carlton game were the only two games in the first 6 that I thought we could realistically win, even before the start of the season and before all our injuries. We might not win a game in the first 11 matches.
think this year will be defining for a number of our players and assistant coaches.

its time terry got serious
gutted is an understatement

It's hard to where the change will come from. We've changed players, coaches, recruiters, etc and we still see the same soft minded crap like tonight.
-
We haven't changed and CUT enough of the RIGHT people.
-
Not enough urgency in the players.
We dont have any hard runners.
No one runs past to receive a handball.
Too many indirect kicks.
Too many players contesting against each other(Richo/Shultz)
A coach that doesnt know what to do
-
I don't know what's worse. The lousy outcome, supporters turning on the club or the thought of my dad ringing me up and crowing about Collingwood. I kept thinking how Diggler on PRE was always ripping up his membership card. Maybe I should switch codes. Go the Titans!

The latter is worse. Nothing worse than a gloating Pies fan ;).

Add a Full Forward who can't kick straight

Ok, I have been holding my tongue for a few weeks now but after that game ( if you can call it that) I think I need to get a few things off my chest.
1. TW has been out coached the last three weeks.
2. Either we lack the fitness to run with other teams for 4 quaters or the game plan is wrong becasue the in the last three weeks there as been so many players running around with nobody near them in the second half of games.
3. We can't hold tackles half the time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
VERY IMPORTANT !!!!
4. WHERE ARE OUR KIDS ???? (2005 and 2006) I haven't checked it out but I would think we are the only team this week without one single player that has been drafted in the last two years. (not counting rookie elevations) Have we stuffed up those drafts ? Is our training methods for these guys wrong ? Are we not giving them the chances ? This is very worring for me as many other teams are showing that their Kids can step up. Our 2004 draft group are Ok but we need to get guys EVERY year if we are going to catch up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Our team struture just seams wrong. eg Gas on Medhurt, Bowden on Rocca, Polak up forward when we have Richo and Shultz there. Some of this stuff just seems plain wrong to me. Am I alone?
6. Some off our improvers from last year seem to be lost . eg Rainsy, Patto, Howat and a few more. Whats has happened to them?
I love the Tigers (even tipped them this week) but I would say on the games I have seen so far that 15th or 16th is where we finish. Who is going as the #1 pick in the draft (never thought I would say that 3 games into the season :( )

Yeah, especially when he doesn't have a clue about the game.

Those 3 things were glaringly obvious last night, to me, and everyone around me.
The forward line was firing in the first half, even though the balance wasn't quite right with Polak there.
-
I cant see us sacking Terry Wallace unless they stuck a clause in his deal saying they could do it if he didnt make the finals in any of the first 3 years. To pay him out would cost $1 million+ . Of course Sheedy comes out of contract and as usual Sheedy has shown again he is quite capable of building a list with just 1 year at the bottom.

yeah l'm gutted but its only 3 games in still 19 to go
calling for TW head is crazy talk
put it down to bad kicking & not putting it on the scorebaord
l was sitting on Q11 in the southern stand & the goal posts were inline with me it was like looking at only 1 post cause l couldnot see the other 3 & blow me away Neon Leon Davies kicked that stuff goal directly inline with me & the crowd full of skunks cause they out numbered us greatly !! thats what lifted the pies its the supporters cause the Richmond supporters willnot go and support there team in numbers like other clubs there should have been 90,000 there not 70,000 & l would say 50,000 of them would have been skunks.
Support your team the list will be cut more next year l'm sure Gasper, Hall, Knobel, Coughlan, Johnson, Brown & a halfback role for Joel Bowden & a recruitment of backline talent will solve our problem we are on the right track
Newman is a tuff awesome player his heart is on the jumper
Take a few goals off for our mistakes the scores would prob favor a results for us but its not to be

I am so ticked off, disppointed, disillusioned and angry after last nights "effort".
How much longer do we have to put up with it?
Agree with a number of others Tezza was out coached in the 2nd half especially the 3rd qtr.
Everything we did well in the first half (except kicking for goals) we didn't do in the 3rd.
Hello - Tambling was playing his best game and was going great guns when in the centre and did he venture in there in the 3rd - ditto with Krak - why?
Some tough decisions need to be made - some guys should be dropped - end of story. There's a couple who just turn the ball over and over and there's a couple of others who are horribly out form and it's costly.
I am getting to the stage now where I don't just don't care anymore because I'm just so sick of this happening again and again.
And IMHO that may just become the biggest thing the Club is facing at the moment.
