Richmond and Collingwood, the winners of the AFL's expansion drafts
You know that the Tiges are back, on top of the tree, when fans from the C clubs - that watched from the wayside, in 2019 - start searching for all of the unfair things that they can find, or coin, to vent their pain. Reminds me of the way in which the season's also-rans used to howl - at Vic...- Words: 120

Go The Tiger Women, for 2020!
I have been reading a few untutored comments on the watchability of the women's game. Please give the AFL women a fair chance to develop their skills, power, fitness, and finesse! Many are only new to the game, at the top level, having come from other sports. Each year, from 2017 onwards, you...- tassietiger67

Why do we have to suffer AFLW on Fox 504?
Give the AFL women a fair chance to develop their skills, power, fitness, and finesse! Many are only new to the game, at the top level, having come from other sports. Each year, from 2017 onwards, you could see - if you really love and study this great game - that the women's fitness, ball...- Words: 320

Why is AFL commentary so cheesy?
The really basic and banal level of so much sports coverage follows from the fact that - though AFL is the world's greatest game, one that is unique to our own nation, coming as a gift from the rich, ancient indigenous culture of the first Australians - so many AFL officers and commentators are...- Words: 310

AFL Autopsy Rnd 10: Mauled by the Tigers
Considering that you lost your best tall in the game, and your best small forward, in the two previous weeks, then your best midfielder and 2018 B&F, then lost your only good forward, on the day, plus Shiel, after 3\4 time, the result was pretty predictable, esp once it had rained. If it had...- Words: 370

Grigger: The Only Good Thing To Come Out of Princess Street. Bad Luck Blue Baggers!!
This is a new thread for all newer as well as for all older-time Tigers: those of us who have been with the team, in heart and mind, since 1969 - the year in which I first watched the mighty Tigers run all over the Blaggers, coming from behind to record a great grand final victory. I think its...- tassietiger67

Preview Round 11 2019 - North Melbourne Vs Richmond, Friday 31/5, Docklands Stadium 7.50pm
The psychology of the game is intriguing. I've been watching AFL for fifty plus years, and you cannot ever tell how off-field matters and events will affect a player, or a team's performance. My gut feeling tells me that - after such an emotionally draining weekend for the Kangas, in winning for...- Words: 230
