I don't want him near our club.

I hope he never comes back as a coach as I don't want him anywhere near our kids.

Interesting thoughts. Why is that?

Tigers around me were booing him...I yelled out "I still love ya Lids". I felt sorry for him at the end of the match. He served us well over his time.

I accidentally booed him not realising it was him at the time. I was determined not to boo him. Was a great servant of our club and an amazing player in his prime.

I have no problem with a bit of good natured booing. You have to use the advantage of the crowd when you have it. That's sport. I would hope there wasn't any spiteful booing, but there probably was.

On Fricknels points. He never played back into the side through the VFL I don't think so it would have been a very hard call if he were still Tiger.

The guy is a RFC life member FFS. He gave our club great service for 10 years. I was petsonally lucky enough to get to know him a bit in 2011 and 2012. He is a quality person. Glad our captain recognised that fact at the end of the game even if some on here can't do likewise.

Gi Tigers it has been a bloody long wait!

Felt sorry for Lids too
While the match was in the balance he was just a GWS player, but after it was over I thought of all the magical moments he had provided us with over the years and felt bad for him that he has missed out celebrating with his old team mates to finally make it into a prelim

Still has never played a decent finals match.

I didn't have a problem with the booing, but thought Cotch's gesture at the end was all class. Unbelievable that he asked for a trade to find success only to be knocked out in a PF by the tigers. You couldn't script it better.

Will always be a welcome RFC former player.

In his 250th too. Was a bizarre circumstance, especially having not.played in either of the two games during the year

HE's a champion - hard to play a PF underdone.

This is it. The whole club's season was disrupted by injuries and it was always going to be difficult for them to get it together at the business end. Pound for pound, still reckon they're the most talented team in the comp.

Deledio probably has something left... if he can get through a pre-season.

What's with all tissues for Brett.
Do you reckon Capt Blood would have given it a second thought,
I booed my guts out he made his bed let him lie in it.
It's war.
