Where's Tucker's?

I want some real whinging.

Went out post game with the family.

Just an awful day at the office. That pretty much sums it up.
Next week presents a new challenge in beating a side we have never beaten and I expect our boys will meet the demand this challenge presents. :thumbsup
That's it?
Very disappointing Tucker.

I was hoping for a decent diatribe on how pathetic we were & how we missed a great opportunity to bury the nomads.
Your pre match form was excellent but your post match form needs some work.

The club that keeps giving.

We are Geelong in 1990's and early 2000's. Look great when it comes off but until we learn to be defensively proactive committed and minded we will never win a flag and we will be flat track bullies.

Lamentably today we were outplayed, out coached and their spread was just too good.
Had we played a top 4 side today the margin would have been far greater.

Just a terrible game and result. Today we just could not swat the annoying little mozzie of a footy club and splat them for 2013. Just nowhere near good enough.

An aberration and a chance to redeem next week. Do it Tiges.

Disappointing Hardwick cant be as honest when appraising his own performance.

What is the point Tigs? Outplayed and outcoached totally today. Furthermore had a busy morning got to Etihad and went to a post match family gathering which only got home not long ago. Long day.
I'm tired, disappointed and angry but I'd like to think I am philosophical and if you are waiting for a Nought tirade really I can't be stuffed other than to say we were terrible today.

Aberration, put today in the let it go but never forget category and hopefully we redeem and win next week. Nothing much more to say. If the highlight of your day is to goad me on perceived pre and post match form then good luck to you. :help

I will give you one thing though Tigs, like all things Nort do the concept has been copied by them the make some noise was just a rip off of our roar meter from 2000. :help

A lot of my mates have mentioned we are flat track bullies, but to be honest we've had a pretty lob sided draw. We've face alot of bottom 8 clubs and beat them all (bar North) we've lost to the best teams and beaten the crap teams (bar North).

Last year we knocked off Hawks and Swans, so whilst this year it may seem like we can easily beat up the crap teams and can't compete with the best teams, last year that wasn't the case.
Go Tigers!

at very best, we're a position 8 side.
7 when the sun shines.
Indeed, the favorable draw has given us a stay of execution.
Favorable big time!

Yeah, well the draw aint that favourable. We only play GWS and GC once, and as usual its on their turf.

Hang on aren't we receiving $500K by choice to play Gold Coast in Cairns?

You can't blame the draw for that and whilst Collingwood in the past and even now and some others get maximum refund on the draw and attendances they don't play GC or GWS twice either.

You can't keep bringing up that old chestnut.

I was dead against us selling off our home games to Cairns from the outset, and I haven't changed my position on it one little bit.

I was against it too

But we did sell the games and the trade off for us was we only had to play them once a season

So I don't think we can sook or complain about it now

Incessant telephone calls to members to purchase $200 raffle tickets.
They only need to sell 2500 raffle tickets. ;D
