Agree with Club being open to new ideas. Need to think out of the box. The club should be seeking to educate itself on best practices. It would be negligent if it did not. However the club needs to look at its performance last year honestly. It needs to accept that we were comprehensively beaten by Port in the elimination final and that we had a very poor start to the year. Therefore there are clear deficiencies in the playing list that need to be addressed.

if we need to go to the usa to ask WHY DID WE LOSE AGAINST PORT, tHEN THEOSE IN CHARGE SHOULD NOT HAVE A JOB. A 10 yr old can see why we lost.

What makes you think the Port game is why we went to the US?
They've said that that game was analysed immediately after the loss.

Clearly the list manager has looked to address some weaknesses in our list re outside run. Port made us look like witches hats.
Obviously it would have been great to get some more experienced players on to fix this but were the right players available? Aside from Malceski (who'd have cost a bomb) I didn't see a lot there.
Hartley/Hardwick's mistakes re this were made a couple of years back and they're playing catchup somewhat.
Just hope that a couple that they've brought can address the problems in the not too distant future..

A 10 year old can see that's not the reason why we went.

We lost to port because the team rampant with weak idiots
Who think they're badasses.

Take it up to them on a big day and the poo their fuckn pants.

The coach just changes their nappies cos he's their
Nanny.

Nothing's happening under hardwick, ladies, so put those jack rabbits away until
Such a time as he is terminated.

15 seconds to go, Tigers down by 1 in the Grand Final. Riewoldt throws a 30 yard pass to Martin who shoots the three!! Tigers win!!!

Given the level of frustration on here due to recent finals failure and lack of success does not mean we will attain success immediately merely because as a supporter group we deserve it more than most.

As far as the club is concerned they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Let the footy do the talking and lets see how that pans out. Then we can evaluate the success or failure of any "overseas research trip" or anything else.

did you not read the opening 3 lines.. did they really have to go to the usa to work out,  the situation is we have to get better. after 5 seasons does damien really need to ask how can we limit mental scarring.if he cant see our players are not good enough and many are mentally fragile always will be and have let him and us down repeatedly then we are stuffed. do we really need to go to the usa to tell us what is so obviously wrong.

wonderful at last some intestinal fortitude from you instead of the heavily tinted rose coloured perspective we always get. isee you didnt need to go to the usa to find this commodity.
