I'm writing this from overseas, where I have spent the last half of the season - but - I've just read the Weagles/Tiges game day post - and thought I'd throw my two bobs worth in 
What CRUD!
TW was quoted this week as saying the match against the Weagles would tell us where we are as a team - and - how much the 1pt loss to Geelong in Round 22 burnt the players in last years off season!
I thought we improved this year, primarily through the efforts of Tambling / Deledio / Raines!! even Simmonds / Krakouer and of course RICHO!! - BUT - how bad is this off season going to be????
There will be hype, and talk about new signings - BUT - the reality is we won 1 more game than 2005 (and that was after only just beating Essendon!!!) we had 4? 100+ point thrashings, where opposition teams treated us with contempt - and we were brushed aside - and then we finish the season in a "Hey, I don't want to get hurt before my summer of swill in Bali on my $250,000+ a year pampered pet lifestyle!!!"
Really - it is a huge disappointment that they couldn't put the effort in.
And - as a final note - to those who say riddance to Chaff and Staff (and perhaps Kellaway) - I say - Gentlemen, thanks for your efforts. All 3 have been good loyal skilled valuable players for the Yellow and Black. You may be past your best, and we may need the youth policy - but - you deserve respect.
Good luck.
Here's to 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!
