Tigers can challenge for finals next year: Rawlings

[bojangles17]

Sylvestor really shouldnt be on our list if we are fair dinkum about being successful. Really slow for AFL footy but thats just my opinion.

yeah like that goal Hale kicked on him really cost us

How about Jade or whoever gets the poisoned chalice that is coaching the RFC just keep their mouths closed and only make comments like Finals and such in house to the playing group.

JADE RAWLINGS...LMAO over here in Cyprus with that FINALS comment.

the first person to not mention the word or recruit to suggest we are going to make it will get us into the FINALS.

I like Jade but he is dreaming talking about finals next year given we'll most likely have the youngest list in 2010. Actually he says 8th-10th which is a bit more disturbing. Eighth would be great because that would mean finals but stuff finishing ninth or tenth. The latter two ladder positions are no man's land for a club with a young list like ours that won't mature until 2012-13. That's why we've gone nowhere in the past. With GC17 ripping the guts out of next year's draft, our first pick wouldn't be until the late teens  . It'd be equivalent to having no first round pick at all in a normal draft.

this although providing us with optisism for the season to come has been our downfall.

These 9th and 10th finishes have screwed us sideways

Actually watched the press conference on bigpond video yesterday

He actually said 8-10 wins and if you get a run on it could end up 11-12 wins which would mean finals. He said it is about improving and seeing where that takes you.  Congrats to the media for making a whole story out a small sentence
