When is our next "line in the sand game" ?

[Phar Ace]

Hopefully we've seen the last of the crunch game.

Don't bet on it (but then again you shouldn't bet on anything ;D)

The Tiges iare still in the finals hunt becuase other teams couldn't close out the possibilities (NM / Bris / and hopefully Pies). Not saying we are a real chance (I've never thought we would be better than 13th this yet), but with two wins it could get crunchy again

I don't think we are any chance for the finals.8-10 wins will be a reasonable year.

The head in the sand game was a pressure game. A lot of blokes dogged it for various reasons.

More head in the sand games are fine. We have to replace the serial failures.

Interesting that Ratten reportedly said after the game that he leaked the news that Judd was out early to put more pressure on us.

The only thing that matters about this comment is that after the game Ratten publicly called us soft. He's not the first to do so this year.

Amazing............that's actually a picture of Redford.

Eye patch and all.

Never thought he'd out himself like that? No wonder he gets strange looks at Coburg games.

RFC should quit the media stuff. No more of this line in the sand crap...crunch game BS etc No more tuesdays with Terry..I am sick of it. No more spin.

Less talk more action...when you have achieved somthing than you can become media darlings again.

Just concentrate on why they are there at RFC.. winning and playing football.

How do you expect them attract sponsors and members then?

By playing with the same determination and spirit as say a Melbourne did on the weekend - it gets its own special media coverage for all the right reasons- reasons that a sponsor wants to be attached to.

I think the team has played with better spirit more often than not this season though.

Thats obviously part of it but we still need the media, what does a team do when rebuilding otherwise? Take a look at the Bulldogs membership figures this year just for example down despite their good form, or even the Kangaroos figures with the exception of this year. And Melbourne won't play with the same determination every week, its only their second win remember, teams are up and down especially when rebuilding.

Through substance and respect gained through success and consistant performance in their chosen field.

Round 22 when ALL the senior chokers should be farewelled!!!

Can't do that when you're rebuilding though. And like I said it doesn't always work, look at the bulldogs this year.

OK ..But the Dogs have always struggled (sponsorwise ), As have the Roos and Melbourne, the Saints etc...

There is a very great business risk in over exposing a soft brand such as the RFC in a marketplace where brand assocation is fickle.

Exposure of sponsors is gained via Television Audiences and product / brand placement on apparel and match day wear.

Performance on field leads to geniune exposure of the brand, not contrived exposure where consumers of the media are savvy to the construction of the brand exposure opportunity.

Terry's Tuesday's spin sessions don't attract sponsors & like.The marketing area would handle that.
