They ALL will.
They will just sit & wait.
We will slide eventually, and then the Ninthmond jokes will return! But don't fret dear Tigers supporters, it's just the merry go round that is the AFL. We have had the ride of our lives as football fans, don't get me wrong, I don't think it's over, but one day our mighty club will be mortal again.

While watching On The Couch it struck me yet again that Nick Riewoldt is the only one who comes close to understanding what we do as a team.
Because he is the youngest of them and lived the life most recently. Plus I'm sure he gets a little inside intelligence from a certain Tiger.

King kills me. He said he Can’t understand why no one is copying us.
this coming from the same guy that doesn’t rate us or picked us to win a grand final.
Well other teams could try copying the Tiges; all they would need to do is spend 3-4 years drafting players with the right mix of speed, skill and courage and teach them a game plan that requires a laser focus; total commitment and a team first attitude at all times.

However I’m guessing that King thinks that all you need to do is ‘pressure really hard’, so in that respect can’t understand why ‘everyone’s not doing it’. I enjoy not watching Foxtel.

I saw that , Robbo said something similar earlier in the show , and whately replied with something like , they have tried , it doesn’t look the same , no one does it like Richmond ,

I know whately can be annoying with his Continuous voice of reason Angle on everything, but he does put us up as number 1 all the time

Whateley is a journalist first and a barracker second.

It's amongst the highest accolades you can pay a footy journo.

They're few and far between.

Agree. I don't understand the consternation of his talent. Best we've got i believe, certainly the best since Grybas

His nose acts like a natural canopy, he can smoke a cigarette in the rain and it won't get wet

Nah, King thinks that all they have to do is define their brand, play the ball from the wing line to the logos amd make sure they don’t get beaten by what they already know.

The last of these things is very easy for him.

Whoops.........fixed now. Just to clarify it should have been "don't"! Thanks for pointing it out!

Sorry but i cannot agree with this.

He is an AFL lap dog first, second and third.

The way he pushed the AFL's agenda to " increase scoring" is the reason why I don't watch that show any more.

He has a deluded appreciation of his importance, Clinton Grybas has been an incredible loss to the sport

Yeah, agree with this. he's an AFL Lapdog first and foremost, pushing their agenda hard. The 6 6 6 and other rule changes that year were implemented after a year long campaign of Whately bringing it up at every chance on every platform. The game needs help, The scores are too low. We need more goals. AFL's duty is to change. Hocking has his committee loaded with stats and facts and AI and ML and they will bring the game back to a high scoring extravaganza.

The fact that since those rules changes we've had less goals than ever before is never mentioned. If anyone dares mention it, the blame goes to the coaches for focusing on winning games rather than making them exciting.

I know it’ll end eventually, but I so love it at present, even the salty text I got from a friend that follows the Pies. Couldn’t discuss the game, because he can’t get his head around us winning 3 in 4 years, when they’ve got 2 in 60+.

Geebus, listen to you two sad sacks! :))

Take a listen to this, from start to finish, and get back to me.


Whateley is a football fan just like the rest of us.

His ability to cast aside his bias is remarkable.
