i think we must all start to take notice of what jack has been saying. yes i know its preseason, bla bla bla, and i know its only a nab game bla bla bla
but what we do know is we wanted to see a sign, win lose or draw did not matter, but we just wanted to see something that told us, yes this preseason the boys have improved
but they havent, its the same old bullsh.it all over again
terry has 7-9 weeks to save his career
if he continues to allow our team to play so soft and indecisive he can go to solarium heaven and spend the rest of his days working on his leathery skin.
1/ tivendale, should have been delsited years ago, forget his fluke supergoal, lets face facts he is as dumb as a wacko monkey. did u see him give fiora so much space on his left side on the wing!!!! allowed him to run str8 through and set up a goal 4 the b grade saints team!!! not to mention all his other brain fades!!!!!
2/ hyde.............bloody hell what a loser
3/ sylvester, biggest mistake even putting him on as a rookie
4/ richo, we cant improve while this choker remains in our team. he has no idea nor belief in himself and chokes, we dont want hokers and we dont care how haRD THE TOOL TRIES, he gets 0 reward for 100% effort, thats a liability and he must go
5/ tuck , see tivvers
6/ raines, oh my what a pretty boy non footballer tool he is
im not going to go on about jon blingers riewoldt just yet they have time
we do have some positives, lids is a champ, morton is a class act and too good 4 us, brown is set for a good yr and simmo showed signs. moore was good and jackson is only needed for his mongrel. petts and newman seemed like they have alot to offer and patto is gonna keep improving.
but seriously theses positives will be all screwed up by wallace if he continues his bs game plan and continues to play these bloody no hoper dumb@rse tools
there are some more postives but so what they are seriously outweighed by the negatives.
if terry stays on and continues his dellusional bs game plan , all us tigerfans will be booking flights to see doc phil!
for christs sake , the score meant nothing, but after a preseason we jjust wanted to see a sign of improvement . thats not too much to ask

Go and support another club then X
-
i wont support another club, but its time the club , esp miller and wallace took a reality check
i flew back from th egold coast early yesterday to get back in time to watch us play like that against a b grade team
as a rfc member and supporter i have every right to criticise every mistake they make and every poor effort they show
its time someone at rfc made the reaal tough and hard decisions, but no one there has the balls to do so

But it was a practice match, X.
Not worth getting upset over this early.
I was disappointed, but is hard to gauge what the game meant really and where the club is really at.
That's probably more disappointing that we don't really have any more idea than we did on Thursday where we're really at.
When people said what they wanted to get from the game, that's all I really wanted to know, but I can't take that game seriously enough to make hard decisions on where we're at.
But I do know we came last year and those who think we should automatically be finals contenders is silly, don't you think?

it was a game, practice or not, and as i said the score did ot bother me, all i wanted to see is something, some improvement a sign, bt we got the same old crap. the same players making teh same mistakes and terry better make changes by round one or the blues will give us a bath
terry just has to wake up and realise that guys lik ehyde, tivvers tuck raines etc are not good enough and get sugar as far away from the team as possible, what a pathetic excuse of a captain
-
Do the players have a say in who is captain?
I can't fathom why Johnston still is. He needs to work on his game rather than have the added responsibility of leading a team he has no right to be even a member of on a week to week basis.
Being captain seems to automatically get him a game, and I don't think he deserves that privilege :banghead
So I'm thinking the players must have some kind of say in why he's still there.
-
I would class last night's game as a membership disaster.
People who haven't signed on yet will think of 10,000 better things to spend their hard earned on and people who have signed are probably wondering why they did.
It was a practice match, but it was no different to how we have played for the past 18 months. It wasn't about a win, it was about seeing improved skill, a game plan and that the kids are ready to take over.
I saw none of that. Instead it was the same old. We are always under pressure, everywhere on the ground, carrying the ball, kicking the ball and on the lead. When are we going to stop with the corrale(?) crap, we hold up a player for a few seconds but he still has 5 metres space in which to either a) fake out our player and run past him or b) kick to a leading teamate about 20 metres in the clear.
The real kick in the guts though, was some guys i'd never heard of from St. Kilda, slotting into the team like they've played 100 games, using the ball well and doing there job.
That shrink we just hired down at Punt Rd is certainly going to earn his money in the next few seasons.
-
2 things.
1/Kane Johnston should do a "" goldspink"' and and retire.
It will be embrassing if he plays on.
2/ The look on the players faces as they walked off the ground last night said its going to be a long long year. Pettifer especially.
Might also add how does a guy like Fraser Gehrig( yes he is a great footballer)
play as good as he did after 6 weeks training ::)
And as Wayne rightfully said, last night WAS a MEMBERSHIP Disaster
-
flip flop flip flop ::)
-
richo should learn from the g train. he knows how to play the game and hurt u on the score board
richo should follow sugar out the door and have drinks with goldspink
-
But it was a practice match, X.
Not worth getting upset over this early.
Collingwood got belted last week, but they have a top 8 finish to fall back on. They can feel comfort in knowing that they can play better than that.
We got belted, but we finished 16th last year, we played just as bad as we did for most of last year. It wasn't a rusty performance, it was a Richmond performance.

reality is no club can function properly with them AFL rules in place
night football is a disgrace l would never support it

Our kids arent as good as people have thought and quite afew were taken very high and the truth is they shouldnt have been taken at all.

But don't all clubs have that problem?
Not all kids will come up to scratch.
Our problem was that we had to turn over an entire list.
Not an easy thing to do IMO.
-

Correct!
And reality is that we go sideways , backwards etc etc etc.
Jack Reidwoldt= over rated I hate to say.

Problem is that we have kept players on the list that we shouldnt have and recuited and drafted players who arent any good.
Patrick Bowden was a waste of space and can tell you so is Jordon McMahon.
We also have a problem inhouse developing existing players which is a real concern also. There are a number of players on a list who have gone backwards , there lies a huge problem. Eg If you think Jay Schultz has got a future at punt road we are dreaming.

I always said that Jack was not the correct choice for us. At best he was a 3rd tall. Lacking speed ... had way to many doubts on him to be a first round pick.

I think that's more the problem, which has always been there, development of the list.
Whether it's resources, all we're not getting the right support staff, I don't know, or we're just the unluckiest club going, I think that's our problem and always has been.
Skills never seem to change - consistently bad :banghead
And I don't know who you point the blame at there.
A coach can only work within a budget, have we spent enough there? Probably not.
-
8 teams will be out of the NAB cup by weeks end and we are the only club demanding blood :banghead
-
Might also say that last nights result has nothing to do with all this but the way we ""tried"" to play is a huge concern.
As a team we arent going anywhere by going sideways backwards etc and if you deliver the ball inside 50 out wide, its makes it extremely difficult to score. Game plan is terrible.

Dont care that we lost, its the way we lost
-
NAB Cup - ffs
1st game against another club since winning a spoon. 'By the way think Saints are quite capable of doing a Geelong'.
Kel Moore looks like he may have finally taken a step.
Simmons Brown missed most of last year.
Still dissapointed obviously, but fair dinkum some of ewes r fkd in the head.
I will now refrain from making any further comment until round 10 - No matter how hard that may be.
Whilst supporting the Tigers with as much passion as I have the last 40 years. ^ as above - roflpizedoff

You people have no idea.
At least Collingwood tried to release players at stoppages and mixed things up with there youunger players, Pendlebury , thomas etc. They had there rotations through the middle etc. We rotate Kane Johnston and co.
WE play nearly our full team and play ring a ring -a -rosy ala basketball. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

damm right jack is right.
seriously watch a game from any other year in the past and tell whats changed.
player development is number 1 concern along with recruitment.
terrible to say the least.
i look at jon and seriously can never see him being a player of our future.
we r doomed with this list, we really are.
lids, browny, foley and a few others i really feel for u.
in other team u guys would be superstars.
