Furious Chaplin tells Tigers to 'grow up'

ANGRY Richmond defender Troy Chaplin says the Tigers need to "grow up and act like men" if they are to turn their spluttering season around.

The 29-year-old said it was time to get to the heart of why the Tigers sat 13th on the ladder with just two wins from six rounds.

"We need to challenge one another and take the feedback and be honest with one another," Chaplin said.

wow, this bloke of all blokes really has no business having a crack at the playing group, he is a leader and is responsible for some of the biggest clangers on field each week. His pedestrian loping to the loose ball when he's 20metres clear only to be beaten to the ball is just plain embarrassing, seen him nutmegged by the ball twice this year when he was the last man or sweeper, got covered by Rance one of the times otherwise would've been the biggest blooper goal of the season.

does it rteally matter? surely it's good to hear something a bit more aggressive than " oh we have a few things to work on but i back my teammates in to get it right", even if only marginally?

The club has to provide players to do media interviews, and they cant sit there and say no comment.

I am so sick of hearing this hand holding, new age, I wont tell you a few home truths, because you are too fragile to hear it crap, we get dished up week in week out.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Agree al, would rather hear something vaguely resembling some sort of passion, aggression than the stock standard sterile excuses we get on a weekly basis

Whether people believe it or not is a completely separate discussion.

And BTW not sure if they showed it on the TV at halftime but before they went off it was Chaplin yet again speaking to the group rather than the captain who was standing on the outside of the circle, third time this season I've seen him do it...

good on him. He shows something out there if you ask me. When have you ever heard the captain say something like that.

Didnt our esteemed leader have to be  be challenged by the playing group as he was too soft or something.

He took a screamer so he thinks he's allowed some airtime.

Maybe it's called sharing the burden between senior players rather than lumping everything on one persons shoulders

Passing round the poo sandwich?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

:yep
It's going to be a long season. Chaplin is getting his commitments out of the way before it gets really ugly. Smartest play he's made all season.

I don't have a problem with the msg but who is delivering it. If I was a player I would quietly be thinking, pot, kettle black - stfu gimp..

 however if it came from someone like Rance who cannot be questioned for his on field standards, I would take the msg more seriously
