A 1/3 of the season has gone. So it's a pretty good time for a review.
How would you folks rate our season so far and what positives/negatives in terms of individual players, coaches and the side overall have come out of it?
Also where do you think we'll finish at the end of the year and has it changed from the beginning of the season?
-
Assessment on expected wins on the season was around 6-10. With 2.5 from 7 we are within those pre season expectations. Could have been 4-3 but we are not. Should be aiming for 3-4 wins in the next block of 7 to be around 6-7 win mark at round 14.
-
Thought we would have 3-4 wins by now. AS I thought we'd bet the Pies & Saints - seriously ;D
Happy with how we are palying after the fortnight from hell (rounds 2-3) :thumbsup
Even happier to see kids getting games :clapping
Looking forward to a few more debuts before the seasons out

Get some new material Jack - it's beyond boring :help
:whistle

okay.
happy with tambo, kingy, moore and will. there the big improvers imo.
it is so frustrating seeing jordon mcmahon roll around in tigers colours though.
he is a waste of money and a real negative on a team which is showing some promise thus far

hmm - I've often thought that {X} was actually ())( - such a love fest.
-
More competition for spots than for a long time.
Senior players having to meet requirements or be in danger of being dropped.
The team not dropping their bundle when things not going their way.
Quite a few young players showing a bit.
Has to continue. Good signs, so far.

Thanks brother :thumbsup

It's as expected but we should be on 16 points and in the 8. :-[
-
Just for the love of Geez don't put in another 'admirable' performance against the cats and then come out and drop the game against the bumblers :pray
Expected but only 10 points to show for it :P
I will do my review come round 11 :thumbsup
See unlike others that just slag players off then perform more acrobatics than cirque de soleil round after round I was willing to wait and see how the season unfolds instead of jumping all over the club.
Looking like not a bad wrapup atm coaching player and recruitment wise - Overall :shh :gotigers
-
I was expecting 2 wins from the first 8 due to the draw so we're just above that. We're mostly playing a good brand of footy (since R4) but our starts, dumb goal costing turnovers and inexperience are still letting us down which is the reason we have 10 points instead of 16.
Senior players Richo, Browny, Simmo and Sugar are performing well. It helps when they aren't injured. Foley and Kingy haven't dropped away from last year. Moore, Blingers and Jack have improved greatly. Whitey is starting to step up in senior footy and Morton has been a bargain get.
Still a long long way to go for us and we're still a bottom 8 side but you can't knock the desperation and enthusiasm. It's good going to the footy knowing we will fight it out until the end rather than rolling over when 3-4 goals down like in the past.

Hey were you the guy who featured on "The Panel" about 5 or 6 years ago standing in the background at a Punt Rd press conference with Spud. You were eating dim sims, one after the other reckon you had about a dozen in a row and washed it down with a can of coke. One of the funniest things I have ever seen at a coaches press conference

quite partial to a good dimmy..prefer the homemade ones not the ones made from cat leftovers.
perhaps there might be some in 2 weeks time.

Agree I find Jordy weak also fellas. If it makes ppl on this forum sick so be it cos I can't stand the way he hits stationary targets and his lack of aggression and tackling. Did anyone watch on the couch last night other than the clinical dressing down given to Mark Harvey, as Robert Walls was very very scathing on Jordan McMahon and rightly so. Hey despite my stance on Bowden also hasn't he been dropped for a similar lack of aggression.
Anyway back to the topic I would love to see us win 4 out of our next block of 7 that should leave us in a mid table position and provide a very good launching pad for the remainder of the year to not only meet but possibly exceed team goals for the year and possibly set the foundations for a launching pad next year.

yes HT 74 i did see on the couch.
they singled out jordy and his lack of agression and accountabitlity.
its not something that we didn't know really

Total waste of a draft pick is Jordon Mcmahon. Might be Coburg bound very soon!

I rated it as good.
Looking past the win/loss ratio, I have seen an enormous amount of improvement in this side.
I like what I see. 8)

Personal request to you Jack
I am one of the more elder members of this forum (not long standing by just old) and as such I am as a rule more paitinet and forgiving. And even though I do agree with some of what you say I dont need to hear the same things 10 times a day. Please for the good of the forum could you keep to topic and only post how crap Jordy or TW or Sarge is once a day. Do you realy want to drive faithfull tigers away from this forum?? Please Jack, we know you stance, we dont need it in every topic. :banghead

Robbo, Brereton and Thomas are going through the teams at the moment on SEN. Robbo says we're probably where expected in terms of wins but there's being a big change in attitude and that's what has impressed him and why he classes us as performing as better than expected.
Dermie had us in the bottom 3 at the start of the year and now he thinks we'll finish just outside that. He's expecting us to fall away between rounds 12-18 because we won't be able to keep up the high intensity we are playing at.

Couldn't have put it better - right on the button.
Senior players leaving their positive influence - check,
No soft tissues injuries from mismanagement - Check
Junior leaders developing into game influencers - check,
Fitness base increasing - check,
Young draftees developing at Coburg - check,
Pressure to draft for a perceived finals window denied - check,
Young draftees given time to increase body & game strategy - check.
Well, I believe that the coach may deserve a mandate to fulfill his contractual term.

Not that I think we will but there is a tiny window of opportunity if we were to get on a confidence roll. Having said that I still only get 11.5 wins (some iffy) which is probably 9th again :-X.

Check.

Back to the subject. I think that we are a little behind as I see it. Yes we have had close games, just like last year. So I think we are below performance this year. We should be winning these games and I hope that we do better. But I think we are playing with a little more passion and this is always a good thing. A coupe more Foley's would help us out.
-
This is the weekend where we will guage where we are at as a young developing team.
A solid effort against the Cats is what we need and I reckon is what we will get :thumbsup
-
Dont hold your breath WP, Tigers will be smacked back to reality this weekend if our skills are not better
Just prey our skills are better than they have been all year cause Geelong will belt us in the first quarter if we play ugly & miss our targets & they get the turnovers
