I could just about quote everyones posts here and add my own bit...
Ive never felt so dissapointed in all my time following the Tigers as I do now.
There are times where I jest
but now is not one.
In 2010 I had genuine belief that we would strip the beast apart and rebuild it, no guarantees that we would be holding a cup five years later but at least we would right all the wrongs of the last 30 years. Here I am now 7 seasons later and were only marginally better off than where we were in 2010. Sure we have Jack, Rance and Dusty but we continue to fail to recuit and develop players for our needs. The other players on our list would probably flourish at another club but stall at ours.
The most telling thing for me with Damien at the helm is this, even in our best circa 2013 we came to a roadblock and fell apart. " The Egg" Players clearly lack self belief, that is something that can be encouraged via a mentor/ coach like a Beveridge etc.
The list profile in my view are confidence based emotional players, they fire up and play well when our backs are against the wall but become complacent as soon as its back to process driven coaching. Damien IMV had them on the right track for a few years but I believe lost them. in fact I dont think we ever recovered from that Carlton Elim loss.
Dont have time to go into too much detail now but you all know, I love the club, I put what I can into it, memberships keep ticking over year after year etc and they just fail us year after year.
I just want an honest club that will make the calls it needs to, and so many of us can see that from here
