Should the Tigers be prepared to cop a fine?

People of this topic...I must admit I am a big fan of physical presence, in fact regardless of the way the game has changed, the basic foundation of this sport is and always will be the ability to be tough either at the ball, the man, or game in general and if you cant be tough it one, move onto the next one...simple formula.

BUT THIS IS WERE THE PENNY DROPS........WHATS WRONG WITH THE FOLLOWING LIST: TUCK, HISLOP, COGS, THOMO.
PLEASE SOMEONE HAVE A CRACK TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION???

Only one has played for Richmond in the last 2-3 years?

Sorry mate, I'm at work, we don't all spend our time by the pool in QLD blogging away on PRE while sipping cocktails at 11 in the morning.

Actually, truth is I am always frantically catching up on your quality posting since I've been offline and find it hard to concentrate on other people's post after I have been awed by your posting brillance. I'm making a scrapbook of your posts as we speak. ;D
 
EXACTLY THAT, 4 PLAYERS THAT I KNOW DEFINATELY CAN HOLD THEIR OWN IN A SCRAP, WHICH LEADS TO MY NEXT QUESTION??

THE AFL & RFC WILL BE CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER FOR BEING NEGLIGENT AND TRYING THAT. :rofl :rofl :rofl

IN SHORT PEOPLE I ACKNOWLEDGE THE GAME HAS CHANGED (FASTer & SKILLFUL) AND THERE ARE DECENT BODIED LADS ON OUR LIST BUT APART FROM THE 4.5 I MENTIONED, THE REST HAVE THE MUSCLES FOR LOOKS ONLY AND ARE CONTEMPT TO BE ON AN AFL LIST FOR THE STATUS AND PERKS ONLY............UNTIL THAT MENTATILY CHANGES AND MOORE MCGUANE CONNORS DELEDIO FOLEY MORTON HUGHES SCHULZ JACKSON POLO TAMBLING ACTUALLY GET SOME REAL GRUNT ABOUT THEMSELVES...AND PEOPLE IM BLAINTLEY SAYING UNTIL THESE BOYS CAN LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND THINK ID GO "INTO A SCRAP WITH HIM EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK" not only will COTCHIN, RANCE, COLLINS, VICKERY, PUTT & POST FOLLOW SUIT INTO WRONG MENTALITY BUT WE WILL NEVER WIN A FLAG.

Brilliant post mate, intestinal fortitude beats the theorists anyday of the week.
 
Certainly it's seemed to me like we go out of our way to avoid a confrontation (with the exception of King and McGuane). It looks lik the guys had been strictly instructed not to get involved in anything, whether it was a matter of sticking up for a team mate or not (hang on, forgot, there was one incident where McMahon showed he'd got some. Can't remember the game).

Anyway, it's always seemed the coaching staff has discounted the importance of imposing a physical presence on the field, in favour of trying to run rings around other teams.
 
Connors and Jackson don't mind standing up to the opposition either.

Exactly, we have been an absolute DISGRACE in that area for a long time now. Did anyone see how Newman was being picked on against Calrton, and NOONE came and flew the flag?? That was disgraceful. Man would I just love a Campbell Brown, Jordan Lewis type guy in our side.

You need to check your facts Pandabear.

Check the replay and tell us all who came in to fight off some scum player that was wrestliing with Newie in the last quarter.....and he wasn't the only one throughout the game.

Its easy to make big comments about flying the flag, but you need to check your facts before shooting your mouth off.
 
If we weren't fined for brining the game into disrepute last week we should be able to get away with nything.

I am not advocating violence or in anyway think our blokes would be capable of handling themselves, however.

At the first sign of one of our players being niggled I think it is important now to not back down, and go even further , by coming in to help out one of your mates.

Is it time to be physical and not be pushed aside even when not contesting the ball.

should jackson, king, Jack, and Co. set out to be physical.

Should our club be prepared to cop a huge fine in order to instill something in our players they have lacked for a lot of years now.

maybe the wrong team to try it against - but its definately the time to do it IMO.

Tiges don't back down.

But they do back down coz they dont have any heart, pride, passion or soul!!!!
