What does everyone want from the rest of the season?

[TigerFurious]

Well done Laff, I'm glad someone else can see Johnson for what he is. A disappointment.

Excluding the West Coast game he has been found wanting against all other top 8 sides we have played thus far. He has had injuries but if you take the field then I'll assume you're fit to play. He has let us down very regularly in big games and its an indictment on Johnson and Bowden and others that Coughlan, A 3rd year player is our most aggressive and best performed midfielder. Shame on the rest.

Richmond recruited Johnson and Blumfield to boost our midfield and so far its not working out. How are we going to feel in 5 years time when Wells/Brennen are hitting their prime and Johnson and Blumfield are set to retire.

Once again it looks like short sighted decisions are costing us dearly.

the infamous Knighter?

You mean the heralded Knighter of Team Of The Century fame? ;D

 

[the claw]

definately not make the finals. We only have 17 on the list who are up to it. And that may be a bit kind. Lets finish near the bottom and get some early draft picks. Making sure we pick the best kids available. Lets promote our rookies and see what they have to offer. Lets give schulz sipthorth & hyde a decent go. We are going to have to go down near the bottom for a while to go forward. Oh and lets sack frawley he couldnt nurture a potato yet alone a group of kids

 

[JohnF]

LMAO!

Ouch! Short, sharp, and very hurtful.

But I hope the selectors can live with themselves for selecting Knights and Richardson before Campbell.

Stands alongside to the decision to play Mark Taylor instead of Dean Jones in the one dayers as one of the worst decisions ever made.

 

[Koalalill]

promote Kel Moore and Shir from the rookie list and let them burst onto the scen for a few games... let's face it Shir can play and will be back from injury in the next few weeks... and Kel Moore despite being slender apparently has no problems finding the footy and putting his body on the line.

TD,

Unfortunately, (and I posted the thread regarding the Members info from last week). Shir is out for at least a month having torn his thigh muscle again. Worse news: Kel Moore has developed Osteitis Pubis - the very early stages and is being closlely monitored and may not be playing much footy this year.

Niether player will be promoted to the senior any time soon

 

[iLoVeNeWmAn]

Rosy - are you sure you're not talking about the golfer Campbell, or someone else??? Calling Wayne Campbell a receiver is the most ludicrous comment I've ever heard (apart from the comments stating SPUD is a good coach, give him a go, etc. etc. etc.).

If Campbell is a receiver, then Rogers has lateral vision, Bowden is a hard nut and Beck is the best recruitment officer in the league!

 

[Mikee]

Frawls, Becks, Rogo, Kayne, pack yer bags and git.
Go on git! Git, git git!

You heard me, get outta here!


Go on, kick a goal Stewie. That's a beautie Stewie!
The effervesent Charles.
They weren't looking the tigers, they gave it up.

 

[PuntRoadRoar]

what i want from the rest of this season?

I just want our losing streak to end! LOL

Hawthorn have won their last 3, melbourne flogged St Kilda. the only team worse than us at the moment is the Bullies and everyone thinks they are playing like chappell getting our for ducks but playing well.

oh lord why do u mock me!!!!!!

Thanks KL.
But surely now we must realise that out conditioning is all wrong. Way too many players are being injured or re-injuring the same thing and it really isn't good enough.

Now people have told me on here before and I have heard it on the radio that we have one of the best medical staff's going around...... well maybe so... but over the last 2 years, our injury record has been absolutely appalling. Something needs to change because combined with our ordinary efforts at the recruiting table, and poor list management of recent times.... we are killing ourselves!!!

There has to be an answer other than just... bad luck... or injury gods!!

TF, I agree it would have been nice to have picked up one of these guys but if you remember we went for the Johnson/Blumfield option because Carlton were still in the mix for a pick ahead of us and we didn't get our first pick until pick no.4 (I may be wrong so correct me if so). As such the RFC decided that they wouldn't use no. 4 pick and swap it around to get Johnson. As the AFL then decided to ban Carlton from the draft we were shafted because we'd already done the deal with Adelaide/North. Kangaroos then got no.3 pick I think which meant they got Wells.(once again a Carlton ploy, they got dicked and made sure we did as well).

What do I want from the rest of the season? All players in a Brisbane guernsey to suddenly be wearing a Richmond one. What a bloody joke, 9 i/s games lost in a row and no sign of improvement. We are miles off the mark so once again back to the beginning.

No more please, please!!! Cap'n she canna taker ena more. Ima givin ur all she's got. :'(

 

[Laff]

Make it ten this week and most of those have been good old fashion floggings they are rarely even competitive

 

[Harry]

Here here laff - your knowledge of the game is second to none.

 

[Laff]

Thanks Harry I find your feedback encouraging and sincere......its not easy being me, as I predicted their downfall before it happened. The problem is nothing has changed the dud won't try any youth and the ones that are there like Rodan clearly need a spell. Your right he has no vision for the future and to be honest the best thing that could have happened was that the phone got ccut of in Brisbane.....the runner must think most of the time that the messages that come through are crank calls

 

[g0tigers]

I want to get FUD, Diggler, Harry, Mikee, Laff, ILN, johnF and all the other Bandwagon members a "In spud we trust" Cheersquad T-Shirt. : :rollin ;D

 

[gustiger12]

TT your quite correct on the draft issue. We gave up pick 4 not pick 2. It subsequently became pick 2 after the Blues were bannished.

It was judgement call and we lost out, but it would have been a big call to predict that the AFL would strip Carlton of their picks. Come to think of it, it would be a big call to predict anything the AFL might do.

 

[JohnF]

I want to get FUD, Diggler, Harry, Mikee, Laff, ILN, johnF and all the other Bandwagon members a "In spud we trust" Cheersquad T-Shirt. :

;D

Perhaps some t-shirts which say "Get your pitchfork ready Spud" would be good

 

[Laff]

Don't agree Gus everyone knew Carlton was gone it was common knowledge and at the end of the day they gave up pick 2 for a 4th string midfielder who would have gone to Richmond anyway...as usuall the smart ones being North picked up pick 2 for a washed up wife stealer well done North .......you lose again Tigers

 

[The Boss]

I would hardly call Johnson "a 4th String midfielder" Laff. Go and watch the 97 and 98 Grand Finals where Johnson would have won the 98 Norm Smith medal if it wasn't for a freak called McLeod and was in the top 5 players in the 97 GF. And no, he would have gone to Geelong who were offering pick 9 if we didn't give our first pick.
It's widely acknowledged in the football world that the guy is a gun.I think we've got plenty of other duds to bag, Johnson's one of our best players, the problem is he needs more support in the midfield.

Agree Boss. As does Cogs and Cambo. With all three in there together we are at least competitive in the midfield. Once one or worse still two aren't there we have no depth to replace and cover for them. The club finally started addressing the midfield this year but sadly it's going to take longer than 6 months to get it up to scratch.

 

[JohnF]

For a guy with hardly the most damaging disposals ever, he is averaging under 20 possession a game so far this season. I would hardly grant him "gun" status on those figures.

But having said that, he isn't a bad player, and far from it, I'd rate him in our top 6 or 7. We will probably lose out to the Kangaroos, but I don't think it will be anything near as devastating as the pick of Fioraover Pavlich. That one will really haunt us.
