The Tigers emphasised how close they felt they were to contending last season by pretty much focusing all their energy on securing Yarran.

LMAO.

Still close?
That's been three years now........

Close enough to not get close to winning a final.

I'm sure Yarrans erratic consistency can be relied upon and will prove the difference when:-

We select older unfit hacks instead of inform youngsters again.
we play undersized defenders on oversized forwards despite having a taller side on the pitch, again.
Cotch kicks against the wind again.
Cotch gets 9 possessions again.
The whole leadership group goes missing for 4 quarters, again.

The whole fix points to Yarran.

I just hope our young guns improve in leaps and bounds.

And due to our lack of action, we are again left to rely on that word.

That word is not 'preparation', 'forsight', 'diligence' or 'nouse'. It is 'hope'.

Start praying people,  more of the same coming up.

Thanks for all the laughs over trade period guys.

It was thoroughly enjoyable seeing all the tanties, chicken littles and pants shitters.

Look forward to it next year.

The other 17 clubs would be digesting the end results tonight in comparison to other clubs.

I'd suggest the majority would be chuckling to themselves at how we seemed to miss out again yet believe we are 'close' like our recruiters. In fact, it's our lack of tangible competition at trade time that makes it just that bit easier for the other clubs. They can't believe their luck.

Don't worry we'll train the house down  like never before this pre-season.....just heard we've already invested in a heavier punching bag to hang from that gantry we use for blocking, bumping & dodging practice...our FTF money hard at work.... :shh
