Real men

[tigerbyte]

I look forward to once again seeing a Tiger team comprised of brawny, hairy, unsociable men of dyspeptic disposition that will laugh at the more virtuous as weak and vain; be untroubled by what the media, the public – liberal and conservative alike – and the opposition think of them; and be ready at any time to ‘bird’ the world when necessary. Serious footballers that when nothing else works – will scrape together a win or two on pure grit, determination and the ability to inspire others.

Think of all the great teams of recent times and their make up: Brisbane, Essendon, Geelong – their lists of hard men, the uncompromising ones that wouldn’t accept defeat even when confronted with opponents of greater skill or physical ability. Have we got that type of individual now? Will Lids, Bling, Reiwoldt, Axel, Rance, Polo, Cotchin, Moore, McGuane, Vickery, Connors, Jackson, White and JON, Nahas – youths on the cusp of manhood for the most part - mature to be men of this ilk?

I have a feeling maybe some of them will. I think we have seen enough in small doses to suggest we have some good stock there.

Brawny Hairy men?
Take away their pube wax, deoderant, gel and other products and the poor young precious metro's would turn into snivelling gibbering wrecks.
No backhanders, elbows or nasty tough punch ons allowed for generation whatever they call them nowadays. Softies get in trouble if they aren't carefull enough when they bump into someone in the dark.
Lets just hope some have the skill to play modern possession footy and pray the Ferocious Ranga can put the frighteners up a few of the opposition players and scare them off their game.

First point: passing phase, I'm sure. Like acne.

Point 2: He'll need to work on his team mates first - get a few on board. He could start we the other redheads: Jacko, Connors, Reiwoldt, Vickery(?) and JON with a perm.

Don't think there's anything wrong with deoderant ;D

I wonder what the 80s team would have thought of the Matrix Men

& Andy Goowin and Terry Young for that matter?
