SEASON OVER
- Thread starter RICHO_12
- Start date
Ridley I agree with you and made mention the similar things you brought to this topic.
I know people will say well look what we achieved last year. Half a game from top 4.
That's the same the people at the club thought from coach down that we were not far from it. Unfortunately a year in the life of following the Tigers is , over the last 30 years we have made finals 3 times and every year after we have failed to follow it up again. Reason , we, players think they are better, don't work hard enough , the most glaring one though is the recruitment if recycles the following year, topping up and expecting to follow up again. The indictment I feel, coach and recruiters should be blamed , the recruitment if only one junior being Lennon.
The list has holes on every line from back to forward. Holes.
We need to rebuild . The next 2 -3 years should be all about getting as many talented juniors as we can. We have to recruit players for every line. I'm prepared to cop that pain if I see this happen.
Unfortunately like the coach who is contracted fir another two years, we have Chaplin, Houli, grigg, Hampson on contracts. We can't sack the lot of them. That is the cold hard facts of the matter. We are hamstrung now with contracts. To pay people out will cost us millions. We just can't do that. Unfortunately .
I don't know what else we can do.
Season for me was over a long time ago. I called it early and I wish I hadn't but following the Tigers gives you no confidence.
Today I made such an effort but in the back if my mind I had a sick feeling this insipid performance would happen.
At the end of the day Hardwick can't kick the goals for them. 9-20 is bad kicking. Convert half of those points to goals and we win. Maybe. Maybe not. From the outset I knew and could see the players were not on.
We may have no choice but to expect pain. Next week against the GWS may show how far we have gone backwards.
I'm not happy too. Devastated and sick today. Sacking Hardwick will not be the answer now. The players as usual will get away with murder and they are the ones after today that have to look at the mirror and say "did I give 110% and left no stone unturned?
Players always get away with things too much. I'm bit happy with Dimma too but today I blame 19-20 players.

I like what Adelaide did and drop Reilly on 199 games, they bounced back and beat collingwood
We will not do that
We will not do that

I admire your optimism but how do we win a game when we play like we did yesterday
Of course it's possible - but our players haven't got anything 'winning' between the ears at the moment
Until that happens is lose, lose and lose again
If people here want to win games from here to earn respect back, they are more delusional than I thought
Season over by May 2014. WOW......but wait, meaningless wins to come
Only thing to look forward to is getting some high end talent via the draft
They won't take that away from us, surely?
