Dermott brereton once laid a cheap shot on one of our boys [nothing unusual there] and brodders apparently told him to do so again would require a stretcher to leave the ground. boy wonder
apparently looked into brodders' eyes, realized HE WASNT JOKING and can be quoted as saying that it was one of the few times he genuinely feared for himself,and found himself taking his eyes of
the ball for the rest of the game
now I know this is just a golden boofhead we're talkin about, but he did play in a harder era IMO. that richmond team did walk a little taller with brodders and blind turner in their corner
The brain bender Bond must instill a TENACITY in our team that has been missing, as much , if not more than our skill set. this is our centenary year and all the marketing is about ' the tigers of old'.
Well' lets just hope it doesn't have the same hoodoo as cogs in 06 and the young guns in 07 ' and axel can be spared the ignominy. Do they get paid with our membership money for that crap?
TENACITY+PRIDE in the jumper make tackles stick, make opponents think twice before taking you on, make smart arses like Griffen shut his face from fear of the consequences.
It must be taken from the head/heart and translated to deeds on the field. Shame is, players like 'the tigers old' ., capt. blood, St. Francis et al, knew instinctively THATS what it took.
and didn't need a head mender to 'put them in the moment'. I personally don't want to see as many half arsed efforts as we have had to endure in recent history, stuff that makes you think
the players think we must be fools if we're going to buy the body language - I tried .....I tried really hard....I just coudn't do it ......reminiscent of an U/8's game.
Toughen up? they could hardly toughen down. Maybe they could all have a shot of jake 'the snake' blood before a game. Now theres a TIGER!
