Why even Turn Up ?

[Tigertailz]

Im really hoping,praying ...you name it that we can bring some more younger guys in JohnF.
Surely there is nothing to lose by bringing Gilmour and Raines in.
I'd also give dragga another go.
Despite todays effort, Im genuinely disappointed with Rodan.Expected a lot more from him after some terriffic performances in 2002.Dont think he will be kept by new coach.

Same here TT.
At least with all the kids running around we would be making a positive out
of a negative.

Watching guys like Chaff,Tivendale,Fiora,supposed leaders of the club,run around today
gave u a sick feeling in the guts.
Im sick of screaming and yelling and being stressed to the max about it.
I've reached the stage now,as sad as it is,that i am hoping we lose every week
all in the name of a priority Draft pik.
Sad aint it ??

Frawley should be escorted off the premises 2morrow morning and a caretaker brought in.
We still wont win any games but his mere presence at the place is a bad omen.

[Tigertailz]

Im peed off too Ox.Big time.
Ok moron might be a bit harsh and I dont mean too offend Bullus or anyone on this forum in this current climate created by our club.
I reiterate that I believe that an opinion can be expressed regardless of attendance to a game.

Playing the young'uns is a good idea tailz. But only if fuddley duddley gives them at least 3 quarters on the ground. He gave Thomas Roach a game today and had him on for about a quarter. Doing that just stalls a kids career and he is better of playing down at the 'Burg.

Its pretty disheartening seeing blokes likes Fiora, Kellaway, Hall and Tivendale underperform when we have kids waiting to burst onto the scene.

About Rodan, apparently he had a really bad pre-season, so I'm hoping that that accounts for his schithouse form this year. He definitely looks a pace slower and more puffed out this year than he did in the previous years he was at the club....

[Tigertailz]

Yeah spot on Ox.
Im exactly the same.I love going to the game.I would move heaven end earth and work ridiculous hours at work to enable me to go and watch the Tiges.Since the Freo game I have lost my will to go.The depression that sets in post game now really does drive me nuts.
Thank Geez for this forum and people like yourself who write such entertaining articles that let me see the lighter side of things.

[Tigertailz]

Rodan should be better JohnF, and so should the tivendales etc
There is some sort of bermuda triangle operating at Punt Rd. where promising form is disappearing into.
Dont know if the triangle has one coach at every point- frawley,brittain and hutchison.

[JohnF]

 , that's a good way of putting it..

Sorry if i was a little aggresive towards you last night.

It was a build up of frustration and a gut full of beer!!!( i had just got home from a wedding)

While i dont agree with all of your comments, i probably did attack you a little more than is acceptable.

To quote Frawley "At the end of the day" we are all after the same success.

Lets hope that the tide starts to change soon and we can enjoy our footy for a change.

You go to watch the following.
Jackson, will be a ten year player at the Tiges, no doubt.
Hartigan. is prepared to have a go, will develop.
Krakouer. Is exciting when gets the ball, imagine him in a good team !
Richo.  Watch him do the unthinkable and have a laugh.
Fleming. At least has a dip and is prepared to carry the footy.

People then stay away for the following.

Ottens, watched his opponent in White run down the ground to get uncontested possesions with big Brad standing 50 metres away with his hands on his hips.
Anyone who says that Brad is an athletic Ruckman is mentally unsound ! Brad Ottens is a disgrace, no excuses please !

Tivendale. Dont waste your time on him, gutless!
Hall.  His kicking was like watching the Auskick at half time.
Houilhan. You have to laugh , its like watching the game in slow motion
Roach. Too small unfortunately, needs to have a big pre-season
Draga. You cant kick around corners Mark, please ! This is something you should of learnt at under 13 level.Tried on several occasions to kick across his body.Unless you get this out of your game imediately, kiss your career good bye.
Kellaway.  Your brother showed the way, follow suit please, Fancy Ben Holland towelling you up, enough said.
Fiora.  Just go,

As for Rodan, his best game for ages although lets see what happens NEXT WEEK !

[Bulluss]

Good comments there Jackstar.

Jackson was most impressive yesterday.

Kane Johnson was furious at Ottens that time he just stood at half forward and watched White get cheap touches. He yelled at him to come down and Ottens just looked totally dis-interested.

If he isnt prepared to work his backside off over summer he must go.

Back up the truck people:

Jackstar, why do you bag Hall for his poor kicking when Fleming is the worst kick in our side....Someone else posted earlier that Johno wont get as critisized as Campo, why is that? Johno isnt doing any better.....yet we are all willing to cut him some slack. His performances have been toilet duck this year.

Anyway here is my rant:
F*ck any c**t on the coaching staff who had a say in Tuckerbag getting dropped for Chaff and Houlahoop sissy.
That already peeed me off.....
Im willing to give time to Dragga, even though I dont think he is up to it.
How bad is Fiora? It frustrates me that this idiot runs around and gets a game....
I liked Rodan finally running with the ball...breaking the lines.
Jackson was solid, Zantuck made me eat my words and was contesting the one on ones, Kraks is just magic, Richo, must love him....Fleming, get out NOW!....Ohh Tivvers, you are letting me down.

I cant be bothered with this poo team anymore. I just want some ticker and while I got some for a bit, more than a half would be nice!

[Tiger Spirit]

Well i got a big laugh out of today...

Me too 2JD.  The group I sit with all bought lucky envelopes.  (I think the cheer squad sell them and they have a number on them, which is the winning margin - either team can win).  Not sure how much you win if you score the winning margin of the game.

Anyway, we had tickets with 82, 75, 50, 52 and 56.

So, in the last quarter when it got to around 50 points everyone was barracking for their margin.

Mine was 75, so I gave up on that one and 56 looked the likely winner so we were cheering anything that made it look like 56 was going to get up.  At one stage we were heading towards goal and I, inexplicably, yelled out, this is no time to start playing attacking footy Tiges , which is a bit of a worry.

There's was nothing much else to get excited about and those around us couldn't help but laugh at us all and even they cheered when 56 got up. 

At least it was a bit of fun.
