Highlights

Players - I.Maric's form allowing players such as Cotch, Tuck, Foley and Lids to shine. Edwards finding form and Rance continuing to play well.

Games - Hawthorn and Sydney wins. I enjoyed the Saints game after the fact - too close for mine.:) Even the Geelong and West Coast games gave me hope.

Off-Field - 50,000 members, Stable admin, Hartley, Smith and Gale. The FTF almost reaching its lofty goal.

Lowlights

Players - Vickery is the obvious one because he excited us all with his form last year. A. Maric teased us early too.

Games - Carlton opener always guts me no matter how much I try and mentally prepare for it. Freo game.

Off-Field - Nothing!!! That is the first time in more than I can remember that I can say that too!  :thumbsup

Highlights - Tigers fans. What an effort to have so many members when we have been down for so long!!

Lowlights - Tiger fans.  To hear the negativity after a loss to Freo who IMO are a quality side.  Yes, we should and could have one but were improving.

Biggest highlight will come when we beat Adelaide convincingly in two weeks.  We owe that club big time after Jakey was dobbed in last year!!

I'd agree with majority of WPs and tuckers and would also add...
And becuase there have been so many positives- here's a couple od negatives and ill follow up with a positive to complete the emotional sandwhich!!
Helbig- not being able to see this kid develop thru the midfield
Derikx- was hoping he wouldve broken into the seniors this year but doesn't look gor ftm.
Being punished by umpires week in and out, and imo we get punished more when we play crap teams as if to give em more chance to beat us.


Best positive so far, been able to take my duaghter to the rich vs hawks game. Before the game I bought her a flag and said you can wave this when we kick a goal, boy it rained goals that day. She loved it and so did I, reminded me of 95 era when my ol man took me to the footy
 

Oh poo my posts are starting to get craw like long :gotigers
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.
