    Roast CEO Shane Dunne

    Right now it feels like we’re stuck in the same cycle: injuries piling up, inconsistent list decisions, and very little transparency about what the actual strategy is. Fans don’t expect miracles overnight. What we do expect is visible leadership, accountability, and evidence that the club is...

    Review List Management

    Not sure I fully trust our recruitment anymore after the failure of the 2021 draft and skipping a player like Murphy Reid. Still early days for 2024 draft, But im getting nervous with Taj (injury prone) Jonty (poor set shot and marking ability) Smilie can't even get on the pitch and has...

    List Mgmt. Clubs are facing an injury crisis and a lack of development of future talent... Solution!

    The kind of injury crisis the Bombers are facing highlights why the AFL needs to overhaul how contracted players are managed. A system similar to the NBA’s G League would allow clubs to call up the best 22 players from their VFL affiliate when season-ending injuries hit — or when senior players...

    Roast CEO & president

    Left Yze out to dry in that press conference. Never would have happened with Gale or Peggy. Have we had a president and ceo this silent?
  5. Bird Man

    Lowest attendance since 2004

    This is pretty bad and expect no word from Gale who was at the game with the President (what's his name?) What is to blame? poor form, cold weather and an interstate team are Yze's reasons. No excitement at games or game style and just the crap treatment from umpires is my reason. Gale has...

    Brendon Gale OUT

    Not sure how he improves us for the rest of the year. Gave Dimma the keys to trade out picks and then bail with a full payout to Gold Coast where he took key staff from us. Hired a coach who clearly doesn't have the players and then announced he is leaving to an opposition club and will no doubt...

    External support to help find the next coach

    I know really struggling clubs have done this but given our circumstances. We rolled the dice to give dimma his last dance with recruiting just defenders for some reason in the draft and then TT and hopper. There are still people within the club including the players that think we are not...

    VFL VFL Round 1 Rich v Southport

    RICH 0.3 2.4 4.5 9.8 (62) CARL 9.2 15.2 21.6 22.7 (139) Goal Kickers: Rich: Stack (2), Cumberland (2), Hicks, Rioli, Miller, Clarke, Lefa Showing us our VFL was gutted after the 2017,2019 years of success. Can't see any of these guys knocking on the door for seniors.

    Our Midfield

    We can add Carlton to this list. Rebuild is on, if we wanted to "go again" would have traded for a decent mid or two. For all the media and pump up we did in pre-season that game against the blues was a disgrace. Our midfield will get smoked in most games now Cotch, Edwards, Dion, lambert are...

    News Tigers In The Media

    Couldnt find the a thread about tigers being mentioned in the media. But to start of i saw Carro on yotube and it seemed she was going in to bat for the tigers ( in her own Carro way) but it was nice to see some one cut the :poo: and Karen Cornes

    Has the game improved under Hocking

    Genuinely curious what the overall board thinks on this. The meida are kissing ass like they normally do so its hard to really know what the general consensus is. It would also help not to view this question from "has the rules helped my club" view point because it clearly has for some and...

    With the game on the line who kicks it ?

    Was thinking about this during the Saints game at the 4th when we were playing witches hats ... If the siren goes at the end of the game and we have a player with a set shot .. 45 meters out who would you think is the ideal player and why? Tom Lynch seems to be a big game player but when Kane...

    Just in case you forgot

    In the last two years, the first handful of games loses. Start the real panic if we don't back it up in the part of the season were it counts.

    List Mgmt. National Draft 2020 discussion

    With pick 17 from the Saints who do we go for? Elijah Hollands looks like a good pick. Not playing games would only help the knee recovery and is a recruit that is needed to bolster our marking forwards.

    Covid 2021

    Hey guys, Would love your thoughts on what the AFL season would look like come 2021. Assuming Victoria gets their shiz together and can come to the same level as NSW I'm not sure how the season will still function given both Queensland and Perth are playing political football with borders...

    Free Kicks & Game Style

    Can someone do a deep dive as to why Collingwoods style of play lends itself to being favoured and our style lends itself to being pinged? Even dimma has said this in pressers gone by.

    Will some clubs not make it through this ?

    Hey, haven't seen this on the AFL board so I thought I would get a take on this. For the first time in the modern game have we seen something like this and what will it mean for the clubs struggling as it is before this? Sponsorships will change, no ticket income not sure what to do about the...

    Brand power

    Question for you guys ! in the NBA what team you play for helps with brand deals for players and increases their worth in terms of gaining outside income. For example one of the best players in the NBA Anthony Davis made less in brand deals as a player who was not even close to him who played...

    Richmond Want No media

    Anyone see Robbo on 360 whinge about Richmond and WC not allowing media in during training sessions. Guy is a grade A Flog who should be banned from punt road with his snide jokes about Dustin having dodgy friends around him when balm said you would need to kidnap him to make him not play...

    Toast waiting 18 years for that

    Moved to Sydney when i was a wee lad and i have nearly been to every Sydney tigers game that i can remember. On countless times i have left the game bitter and disappointed. I remember two occasions one when i was 10 two Sydney supporters older than me were smashing the tigers and i stuck it up...

    Opinion Dustin Martin

    Let me start off ,,, He is a freak of a player and is an elite talent that can win us games and i love him for that reason HOWEVER ever since the whole deal with him wanting to leave for the cash (loyalty = 0 ) going to GWS and touring around. I just cant look at him the same way i used to...
