In such a sh1tty year so far, great win by the boys tonight.
It's a shame that those that have been so critical of the club cannot come on and congratulate the boys, after all the bagging they've done all year
Pretty p1ss weak I reckon, but what more would you expect :wallywink
I bet they're crying in their pillows as I type this because Wallace will be here another more week :'(
You big pack of wooses lol
Suffer :rollin :-*

Good thread Moi :thumbsup I also noticed that them boys were missing as the week went on.I think they realised we could win.!I You are 100% spot on they should be giving credit where credit is due! Terry is with us for the year and so he should be
-
And what's more that was so great about tonight was that, contrary to what people have said that Wallace has lost the players, that is clearly not so on tonight's performance.
I'm not saying we have made it - far from it - but the intensity was there tonight that wasn't there all year. They really pulled their finger out for Terry tonight and showed that they were making up for letting him down.
Good lads :thumbsup

Credit where its due.
6 players probably ensurred we were going to win last night
Nahas, Jackson, Lids, Bowden. Jackson ,White.
Why ?
As different from the past weeks, they moved the ball forward and fast, not sideways/backwards and slow
At least my 6 year old daughter didnt leave the game with tears in her eyes as per the previous weeks when they were hopeless.
She sang the song with Gusto, as we all did.
good to see the they played the song twice last night.
Interesting that Nahas showed most players what defensive pressure is all about as well. Doesnt say much about his teammates when a young lightweight has to lead the way, especially early in the game. ( Nahas had most tackled for the game ) WELL DONE I SAY

So if TW can get them consistently moving "the ball forward and fast" does he stay next year?

before you start hurling insults Moi maybe you need to get your head out of your arse.
i was not on line for 48 hours but now i am back.
Yes i have been critical of the club but last night they played WELL, VERY WELL.
It was not much to ask IMO, straight through the lines and direct not this chip sideways crap we have seen.
NAHAS IS A GEM. a bloody beauty that kid
Jackson plenty of errors but plenty of the ball as well.
only change is JON out for good and Raines back and/or Cotch if he is fit.
Simmo never to play footy again. Those 2 out there tried their heart out.
Fitting applause right at the end to clap Cogs off. Was sitting right there and it was a very nice feleing i must admit.
-
Great win by the team.
However!
To me it proves a point that modern football has changed the make up of a team in order to be successful. That is, playing 5 or 6 30yo plus players is a dangerous ploy.
They get exposed across all lines.
This has become a young mans game, if they can run and kick, they will have an impact. As a club, we need to continue throwing caution in the wind.
Nahas, Graham, Collins, Rance and even JON are showing that opportunity to play MEANS something them - privledge, not a right.
Riewoldt and Jackson showed that they are worth persevering with in the team. My ATTITUDE controls my altitude.
The older players not in the team just don't appear to have the above qualities in their make up anymore. And now they are too old and slow for the football skill to make up the difference.
Congratulations to Plough and team for having the courage to find the right mix.

MOI SPOT on. this is what i have been looking foir for a couple of years now, wanting to see if the players played for the coach! the time has arrived, last night was not just a win, it was a statement. if we get our season back on track, the board should do the right thing and extend terrys contract.
it was great to win, but last night i didnt really care about the result, i wanted to see attitude passion and desire.
we were 0-19 5 minutes in and we all thought o sh it not again, but the players rallied and played with spirit and passion that crushed the shinboners. NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

No.
Credit where its due. it took a player like Nahas to get them going.
The first 15 minutes was HORRIBLE.
Might also add Harvey and Firritto went off at the same time, dont get too carried away.

Just enjoy the moment will you?

Richo went off not long after Harvey and Firrito came back on to play out the game

It was a good win, we need to back it up again next week, if we can then maybe the season can be salvaged.

Yes, I'm sure if we lost and we had injured players, that wouldn't come into the equation. But as soon as it happens with the opposition, you can bet your life that was the reason they lost :lol
-
Anyone who thinks we run teams into form should be watching Melbourne and the Crows at the moment!

And if the perennial finals team who was widely tipped to be a contender again this year is sooooooo shallow in depth that the minute Harvey goes down they are stuffed then you have to question everything about them. Nope, we beat them fair and square - we wanted it more, we tackled harder, we pressured constantly (the key one imho), we attacked, we kept it simple. Sorry to those who it offends - Richmond were the better side and the result went that way, no excuses.

TW commented last week that the most important thing we needed to do was get back to winning the contested footy
Last night we did and we reaped the benefits. Playing man on man didn't harm things either ;D
But after 4 weeks of absolute hell last night was sweet
There was a passion there that I want to see every week. Seriously up until last night we had only witnessed it for 2 and bit quarters against Geelong
Interestingly the one constant out of the these 2 games was Brett Deledio breaking the lines
Other thing I notcied at 3qtr time was TW called Lids & Tambling over for a one on one chat, got the feeling they were thrown the challenge.. dont' think either disappointed. Tambling may not have got the numbers but his attack on the footy was great
-
Happy with the win. Very happy.
Overall good team effort. Would be nicer if we had beat Melbourne and we were 2-3 looking to square the ledger next week but I guess maybe we needed last week to occur for something better long term to begin with our footy club. Nevertheless one on one contested footy worked for us last year and we used it successfully against a team we have beaten once since 2001. Here's to beating the Swans this week. At least we can walk with our heads held high for once this week. Nice to see that Shinboner Spirit last night on the ground and leaving after Bowden's first goal in the last quarter. :thumbsup

Just on North - they are in massive trouble and I am not talking about the on-field, I am talking off field. There were just under 30K there last night and I reckon 70% of them were Tiger fans and that's being conservative.
Pre-game they were going on and on about how they need members, if your a true fan your a member they whined... have a news flash for them your fans don't care!!!! They cared last year because they thought they were gone. I said their test would be this year and beyond.. and their supporters and their so called spirit have spoken and guess what they don't care. Will say it again the Roos are in massive trouble...should have gone to the Gold Coast
-
NORTH will eventually merge with the gold coast team, they will become the GC Kangaroos, its inevitable
and imo, within 10 years , the hawks will be in Tassie

Stuff them WP. Hate their guts.
Shinboner Spirit my gulo. Insignificant an characterless footy club. That's why I hate losing to them. Inferiority complex of a footy club. Make up things like Shinboner Spirit to pull together their small pool of fans in creating a rivalry with other teams to help them to belong and feel part of a competition that do not give a rats gonad if they exist or not. Take a look at your history 4 flags in 85 seasons. If they could not build their supporter base during the Carey years of success than this pathetic excuse of a footy club never will. Glad they did not go to the Gold Coast. James Brayshaw is a moron getting 1000 fans fired up to keep them in Melbourne. If it ever hapenned I would rather have the Tigs relocate interstate and keep their identity than lose all semblance of their existence ala Swans and Bris Vegas. Saw North in 2nd semi against the Hawks in 2007 and in a 75K crowd I can honestly say that 50K were Hawks 10-15 were neutrals taking up the AFL section and the rest were North it was like an interstate team was playing a final against a Vic Team at the G.
Agree WP 29K yesterday and at least 20K Tiger fans. Too cold a night for anyone to argue there were too many neutrals there for a defence case for these Characterless Clowns
Stuff them.
Anyway back to the Tigers Great win and lets keep it going. :thumbsup

Totally with ya Tucker
It makes the win all the more sweeter :thumbsup

I don't know about that TT. North knocked back the AFL proposal a couple of years back to relocate to the GC so why would the AFL keep this gypsy footy club afloat.
Hawks you may be on the money as it seems to be the concensus although if they have prolonged on field success and retain 50K give or take members per annum why would they? If it aint broke don't fix it.
Anyway back to the Tiges. Great win last night. 16th in round 3 15th after round 4 14th after round 5. If we keep this up we'll be top of the tree after Round 18.

when u said my gulo earlier, didnt u mean my culo?
anyway, in a couple of years or so, north wont have a choice, it will be merge or fold, the afl gave them a chance to relocate, next time it will be merge or die.......goodbye
and i reckon by midseason we will be in the 8 and looking great
