Sad to say but we are a joke like Freo

Absolute joke of a club. We are a basket case of the AFL. Nothing we do seems to ever come good. Promising youngsters like Deledio and Tambling run around like a pack of duds. Sounds sorta like how people criticise Freo but we should realise we are exactly the same.

We have no heart, no skills and only Richo gives a rats arse about the jumper.

We may as well start again, new coach, new board, new players although it will take near on a decade to do with the new teams coming in
 
we are the laughing stock of the afl we are the new stkilda of the 80s basicaly we suck and will do for the next 5 years

No doubting Richo bleeding for the jumper but I think you're selling a few others short there Lontha. Take Matty White for one example. He gives his all too and is an inspiration how he works so hard to make the most of what he's got. As a Tiger supporter himself I'm sure he cares about the jumper and would be shattered with such a poor team performance.
 
Yes I take exception to that, we were a joke long before Freo muscled in on our territory.
 
I was utterly spewing after round one. I was disappointed after round two because whenever Geelong played well we looked awful. After watching round three I'm sorry but I just can't get angry. We just looked so utterly ordinary playing a game style which is poor and horrible to watch and with finishing which is just abysmal. This might irritate people but I felt so sorry for Terry Wallace watching the continual cut overs to the coaches box whenever we kicked another point.

Its going to be a year where the players will sack the coach and the coaching staff and quite frankly it can't come quickly enough. Be interested to know what happens if we lose to Melbourne.
 
At least Freo made some hard decisions and had a thorough cleanout and restocked with draftees. Unlike us, just going with a "top-up".
Many more years of misery in store for us. We've missed the boat getting some skillful youngsters in.

A loss to Melbourne might be a good thing. Wallace would go on his own accord if that happened.

It's looking that way. The last thing I want to see is, if we are pretty much assured of finishing out of the 8, that kids don't get fast tracked and Terry plays for a few cheap wins with players that won't be there in 3-5 years. I would hate to finish artifically high this year and miss out on draft gold. The most interesting thing this season will be trying to see who will and won't make it
