Listened to the radio for a while until the game made it's appearance on the T.V., all didn't sound good but I tried to remain calm. Seeing the vision didn't lift my heart. The final siren meant that my work day tomorrow with a Melbourne die-hard boss was going to make my day hard to face. Out came the secateurs and a tree in my yard drew the short straw for the fiercest pruning of it's life. The frustration of the game came flowing back. Indirect kick, SNIP. Failed set-shot, SNIP. Turnover, imprecise handball, lack of vision, SNIP,SNIP, SNIP. Being a True Tiger Fan can be tough. Let me and others know how you deal with your pain.

Dealing with the pain

I also listened to the radio till 3pm ... but after what i'd heard i wasn't inclined to then sit down and watch it on tv!
I got out the circular saw and sliced through some old pallets for our wood fire. The family knew to stay away!
Angry female with power tools = trouble.

I used to get angry.
I felt like jumping over the fence on some matches and giving certain players a bloody shake..."If you don't want to play for the jumper, then *smile* off and let me have a go!"
Over the years I've mellowed...and today, sitting in the Great Southern Stand watching this joke of a team continue the long tradition now of *smile* up a winnable game with disgraceful kicking, dropped marks, and hot potato handpasses.....I just sat there and had a laugh at it.
Maybe its sad...or a feeling of acceptance...that this is the team i support and thats how they play....take it or leave it.
However, the leave it option feels like getting closer.....a shame after being a supporter all my life, going to games nearly all my life, and being a member for nearly 2 decades now.
After today....and listening to the talkback on the way home...I still can't see any light at the end of the tunnel? :-\

Liverpool said:
Im with you Livers...I could only laugh at some of the crap served up today. I mean that first quarter was comical...Rex Hunt said on the radio that the only thing missing was the 3 stooges. And as the 22 stooges in black and yellow dug themselves into a deeper hole as the day went on, I could only laugh in amazement that professionals who practice day in day out could actually perform their job so poorly. I think i have become so used to it.
So laughing for me. And a sh!t load of alcohol.
Did you end up cutting down the tree? So many mistakes were made today that I can't see how it could have been avoided.Tenacious Tiger said:
The tree is much smaller now and will rue the day the Tigers put in such an insipid performance. My self-administered alcohol medication may have influenced my pruning technique. On reflection this was a dark post to start but we are in very dark times I'm afraid.

Spot on Liverpool, I couldn't have said it better.
After reading the middle pages of the SundayHS today and watching the crap that got dealt up today I'm finding it real hard to take my family of five every week and put them through this.
I'm an AFL member and on the way home my son said "Dad, do you wanna go to the ANZAC Day match at the MCG next week and give Richmond a miss?".I've been a member for nearly 3 decades now but geez it's tempting, atleast I'll see two teams having a real crack and won't feel like kicking the cat when I get home.
To answer your question: I'm over dealing with it
Just go watch them live. No one can be in pain when youre at the circus watching the clowns. I laughed my way through the last three quarters.
, here we go again, another weekend, tigers lose again, not much changes.I'm in Perth on holidays so I knew the result before the replay on Fox. Made myself and my hosts sit through it just to see the whole game.
Now I'm drinking!
I was going to start a similar thread called "What do you say", so I'll put it in here. What do you say to your mates, work mates etc tomorrow when they start on you.
I just give them a look now & they know to shut up!
Another long season ahead.
