they might be able to do something with 36 players cause they surely can’t do anything with 18 they would probably need all 36 on the field to win a game

.......mabey…......no, they’d still suck.

36 losers instead of 18…...(snicker) What for?

More members of the Tiger Army….........excellent! Hey lads, Riewoldt is in my Supercoach team as a reserve. Will Wallace play the young fella again this year. I thought he moved well against Essendon. Now I can understand Geelong not playing Hawkins, but surely Riewoldt will play another couple as part of the learning process.

Brownie’s rocking it in the first quarter.

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

Brownies back for tonights clash!!! Spewing I have to work, will be good having him in the forward pocket inspiring the young blokes. Surely Kent Kingsley can’t make it back into this side, anyone think he’ll be playing senior footy again??? How long did we sign him for??

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

Was anyone else blown away by the one sided free kick count. I thought it would have been about even but when I first noticed them put on the screen we were streets in front!!

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

Des Headland is the biggest fwit in the AFL. How poor was the decision where he ducked his head and got the free kick for over the shoulder!! I am starting to see abit of 2006 about Tuck and Raines which is good because we have lacked so much punch coming out of defence. Polak and Foley have been revelations this year. TW is out of his mind if he doesn’t pick up the best KPP with pick 1 in the draft.

Jeff Farmer I would rate as the biggest FW, with Milne a very close second. Headland is right up there with them. I can’t believe he’s still in that team, he got found out how overrated he was when he came across from Brisbane?? Perfect proof that teams win premierships.

I’ve given up on the umpiring. Gieschen reckons they don’t guess, he should watch that a few times!!

Again plenty of potential displayed but I just don’t like watching them kick it down the throat of opposition palyers time and again. As bad as Ray Hall is, surely we would be lookign better down back with his height??

Top effort by Richmond on Sunday night. Again we came up empty handed, but that style of footy WILL win us games. Again poor choices, turnovers and handling errors really cost us in the last quarter but they continued to have a dip. Polo was left on Headland for too long and he hurt us. Newman’s rib injury in the 3rd quarter was also a turning point. Give us Simmonds and Brown back and produce an effort like that again and a win is around the corner. Edwards looked very good. Big thumbs up for Foley,King, Pettifer, Deledio, Polak, Raines and Tambling. Nathan Foley is very close to being All Australian in a side that hasn’t won a game. Cmon Tigers let get one on the board.

We’re lacking down back and really need some talls to help improve our situation. With Simmonds and Knobel back for the second half and hopefully Brown, we’ll be better placed to shape the top 8!!

Drew, have you been reading this!

Bit of a blast from the past. Pettifer has also been copping a hiding over there. I always thought he was hard at it, but alot of guys made mention he shirks more than he should. I knew he wasn’t the hardest chaser and thought that was were alot of his criticism was coming from.

Fremantle should be a good game this week, I have the feeling though we might go back to teh Tigers of old and Fremantle will find some form against us. Pavlich & Tarrant aren’t far away from kicking bags!!

Interesting article in the Australian this morning.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21856393-5012432,00.html

This quote from Terry Wallace shows how bad things got at the tiges.

“Go back 18 months and we didn’t have a full-time recruiter at all. We didn’t have a full list of rookies, let alone a recruiter to pick the list of rookies.”

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

again, you blokes sell Pettifer short – I thought he was pretty good again and showed plenty of fight.

I’m a big fan of Pettifer, he works hard and while looking unco, can generally come away with the ball. His only problem IMO is his concern over telling the umpires how to do their job. To me he looks like he loves his footy and is playing to win. Wish I could say the same for a few other guys out there who are blinded by the fact they’re playing AFL. They play like they’ve forgotten that hard work got them there, and its whats going to keep them there!!!!

KB, I loved you as the little number 29 Champion goalsneak. But I now can’t stand you as the sellout you’ve become to a fraternity that tried to wipe you and your career out.

The RFC would have become a better place if you had of done as much work with them in the past, as you do now in pushing the plight of the umps.

I can’t believe KB thinks this rule is good for football, the man has lost the plot!!

Oh and I was at the game – Pettifer had 20m on his opponent when Johnson put it down Drummonds throat, should have given him an absolute gobful, doesn’t matter if he’s the skipper. For proof, check out the absolute tongue lashing Aker gave Johnson when he twice went for miracle goals with Aker unmarked at the top of the square…..

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

a happy medium mate.

A few chances is fair enough, but one game?

that skipper really leads by example, perhaps the worst kick under pressure I’ve seen since Tarrant on friday night!

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

Totally dumbfounded by the decision to sack Reiwolt after one game, especially given the other more established players they’ve been prepared to carry at some point this year.

Not the best for the young blokes confidence, nothing worse than thinking you’re playing for your spot every week.

Mske them earn the jumper and they will appreciate it a hell of alot more. I hate to pick on Deledio, but he surely must sit at home thinking “It doesn’t matter how bad I play, I’ll still get picked next week” Not an ideal situation is it??

So which is it Carl?

Drew,

Richo isn’t crap :)

Topic: The 2007 Tiggie Train

Drewy, it may be easy for people to hop on the train and say

Richmond are crap, Deledio is Crap, Richo is crap, Wallace is crap, Raines is crap’

I do think you will go close against the Bears, just not sure if I should tip you or not. Play that Chinese Rookie ‘Will Winwunsoon’

I wasn’t having a dig at all if you read what I wrote, but apparently it’s just shit drivel so forget it.

What do you want an apology? I’ll give you credit. I’ve just read through 15 pages of the pies thread and you’ve only had a couple of snipes and you’ve made half the posts in that thread. It’s like you are a closet pies supporter.

Enough of the schoolyard talk guys – we can still lock topics and delete people so please keep it on topic and stop the abuse. No need for the 4 letterwords…..

What hope is there for the game this year!!!!

KB must be sitting back smiling, bit of pay back for when Richmond sacked him??

Should he be welcome back at the club?? Anyone who holds a grudge as long as he did surely isn’t worth having around. If it were me, I’d show him the door, his attitude cannot be healthy with such impressionable young fellas around.
