Richmond vs Hawthorn match thread

[Ramps]

The game was lost in November 2004 when we selected badly at the only real opportunity we had to right the sinking ship. We picked the wrong players. And we continued to pick wrongly in 2005 and 2006.

  thankyou the tiger tankers my second biggest win on a hawthorn vs tanker tigers game in 2 seasons
anyone who never took my advise on this bet here's looking at you  what a laughing stock of a club 

[Tigermonk]

we looked gr8 in the first 20 min and that was it! are we tanking? maybe

tambling had a bad day yes but he is not the concern.

when we play guys like sugar, tiv, tuck,hyde,  howat, hartigan u know u will not win

when u play richo in the fwd 50, u know u cant win, richo has lost his mojo, cannot win a game off his own boot to save his life, yes he gives it all but he is useless for the team up fwd, there is no real future 4 him, give it up along with sugar and joel
jay, dost present enough and must be let go, KK is a better option than jay.

when jack , cleve are playing in reserves there is s problem

coburg had another good wim today.

i say terry is either 1/ a total f head, or 2/ we are tanking

i pick 2/ we are tanking

sugar, tiv, tuck,hyde,  howat, hartigan , richo, joel, schulz should all be told that they will be dellisted, traded , or play their careers out in coburb. need to start from scratch next yr, forget reputations and yrs of service, these players plus others must all be gone

prey carlton win another game or its all for nothing & l come out laughing this year like last year
hope you took my advise

Our club was gutted in the second half today. It's no wonder, it's been a shocking season for the boys. It's the first time they've dropped their heads this year despite all the frustration.

What annoys me is the lack of leadership shown by the older players. Kane Johnson was again the main offender, Richo let himself and the team down with his petulant display and Joel was just, well Joel.

Hartigan -6 ?  Whats the go there ?

[tigersalive]

Hartigan -6 ?  Whats the go there ?

Probably means most of his possessions were clangers and he gave away free kicks therefore sending his ranking backwards.

Way to show you belong in the seniors Harts.

You got some bulk why didn't you throw it around.

We have gone backwards, There has been no improvement in 3 years.
IF , anyone can see the improvement,please share your views as the entire football community would like to know.

Unfortunately, and to everyone who follows the Tigers, this is undeniable.

None absolutely NONE ??? There has been no improvement? Not one player has improved in the last 3 years

Foley hasn't improved?

Pattison hasn't improved?

Raines hasn't improved?

Pettifer hasn't improved?

None of the above - NONE ???

I don't mean to upset you but to take out four players and claim that the club has improved is not addressing the reality.

We have further to go as a club today that we did 3 years ago - it's unarguable in my opinion. We are not competitive.

[1965]

Last years forward coach Brian Taylor is now at Collingwood.
Ruck coach Steve Alessio got the flick
And David Wheedon is at Geelong.
Geelong and Collingwood will play finals. who are the idiots.?

So BT is the reason Collingwood are OK this year and the Doc has transformed the Cats into ladder leaders.

Silly me, why didn't I see that.

mjs,

you certainly will not upset me We are all entitled to our opinions

The point I was trying to make was that the statement said there has been NO improvement in the last 3 years. NONE.

I take that to mean that not one player on our list has improved, that there is not one positive thing that has happened to our club in the last 3 years. That is clearly not correct from where I sit.

Now I am sorry but I find it insulting to those players (and I named 4 of them) who have clearly shown great improvement especially the bloke who wears number 41.

As for not being competitive - take out the Geelong, Port and now this Hawthorn game and I think we have been very competitive. Yes we have not won but I think we have been very competitive. How many 100 point losses have we had this year compared to last, how many 10 goal losses?

xXx.
Tell me where the improvement is . thats  all I ask

 u r supposed to be a know all, if you cant see where we have improved(and dont look at ladder position) then u have no idea about footy and are all talk
