Been a funny year as a Tiger supporter, unsure what others have felt but from a supporter point of view the fixturing has been a nightmare to attend regularly. With either interstate games, gather round, Marvel, or fully ticketed match ups at the MCG its not been easy. With our crew we regularly go with, we have a mixture of AFL, MCC and Tiger members, we generally just all meet in the general seating, so full ticketed MCG games makes that really hard and we end up seating isolated. Been a shame in that sense.
Playing wise, winning wise it's a rebuild. Hate to say but the year regardless of how it finishes is sort of a pass, winning round 1, and beating Dimma, apart from beating Essendon, they are 2 of the best wins we could have had. So full credit, if we don't win anymore so be it.
I like Yze, for the current phase we are in, I personally don't think he is our next premiership coach, and that doesn't mean I want him sacked but think win/loss ratio isn't the metric to judge him on. It's player development of our next crop. Trainors rise, Lalor started well, Faull been good, Campbell development - it's this I want to see under Yze because that is the key.
What I personally don't really want to see if Prestia, Taranto and Hopper in the middle for CBA's for majority of our games. Understand Lalor and Smillie are injured but I want to see Sonsie, McAullife in there. I mean we are losing anyway, so keen to see development and opportunity over seeing the old guys monopolise spots and we lose anyway.
