Peggy O'Neal on 3AW / Tigers must make finals in 2014 or year will be a failure

[tony_montana]

we should be aiming for finals, and be bitterly disappointed if we don't make it.

[WA Tiger]

I reckon she must read OER and bookmark your posts WAT!

"I think a pass mark is we have to play finals, but we'd like to do a little bit better than that."

"While we did play a final this year, we all hoped that we would win that and go a little bit deeper into the finals campaign. So, I think a pass mark is we have to get into finals again, and we have to win one."

There is not one mention of the word 'failure' in the whole article.

Yet we see a Headline like this, "Tigers must make finals in 2014 or year will be a failure"?

Typical sensationalist/ negative journalism that has sucked a few in on this site to think that she has made outlandish comment when the whole football public sees it as bleeding obvious.

But Peggy does mention the term "pass mark" being playing finals, so by extension if you don't achieve your pass mark it's reasonable to assume you've failed

WGAF what she said????
Has no impact on anything.

Disappointed she hasn't slammed the AFL over issues such as the fact we're the only "Big 4" club that never plays the other three twice, despite having superior drawing power to two of them, the ridiculously generous compo pick Collingwood received for Thomas that was at our immediate expense or our zero compo for a 100-gamer who was a first 22 player by the end of his tenure and who's the same age as Thomas.

Was hoping we finally had a president who wasn't afraid to publicly stand up for the club and publicly criticise the powers-that-be for constantly shafting us and taking us for granted. whilst apparently favouring others. With our membership numbers and attendences, not to mention the crowd at the EF that was there for all to see, I would've thought we'd have some considerable ammunition now.

"Apparently" is probably the best thing you said there.

I'm glad you're not President. That's not the way of getting what you want....

....and yet it's worked a treat for Collingwood for the last 15 years.

The current method isn't working

 We ate continually slammed

 No compensation from Williams
No compensation for white
Having to play drug cheats on the eve of finals in ridiculous circumstances

 The list goes on seemly forever. Tortoise on tortoise

I still can't get out of my head the fact they avoided the away strip and its only due to eddie

That's because it's not worthy of a response......
