STOP THE COUNT

Games like this remind me why I think AFL fans should be given the option to turn commentating off and just have the crowd ambience when watching on TV

It would have been great to hear the massive Tiger army. I assume they were loud, but drowned out by the commentators.

In fact name me one other club that has resorted to putting banners over their seats to hide that their crowds were shit

The banners were for advertising opportunities not to hide crowd numbers, because the SANFL refused allow Port to get on ground advertising, while also charging like a wounded bull to play at Football Park.

If North has to deal with that cost, they'd be in Fitzroy levels of debt

I don't think these excuses can keep getting rolled out.

The Tigers are going through large parts of games without a sniff of a goal on a regular basis.

Some veterans declines are being felt, whereas they buffered things in 2025.

They have too many old and/or slow plodders with poor skills + decision making.

There isn't a coherent, effective gameplan in place. It isn't clear what the long term vision is.

I dont think its an excuse at the moment its the reality of the list. Theres a bunch of kids, then some older slower plodders. Missing the tall steel we need in Lynch, Nankervis and Balta that we can't cover. A lot of the kids that would be getting minutes are injured.

We might not be winning more games, but we'd look a hell of a lot quicker and more skilful with those guys in the side and probably genuinely see the future direction.

Yze might not be the answer, maybe he's just the sacrificed goat to get us through the worst years of this rebuild, but he still gets a chance next year.

People underestimate how bad the position was with the list he inherited. It was a bunch of former greats finishing their careers and 2 years setback on the rebuild with Dimma chasing a flag with Hopper and Taranto. Only way to catch up was to trade off a bunch of experience to get in a haul of picks. It'll take another few years for it to fruit.

This is an excel spreadsheet I would subscribe to.

I have a scatter chart which is particularly damning

Bull shit

Also just sell your home games to the opposition. You play two home games in WA. And you think banners on empty seats is embarassing?

Mate if I remember correctly those banners had your club logo on them nothing to do with advertising

 

[slider95]

Do you also think Jacinta is financially astute, conservative and a good financial manager?

tbh i've better things to worry about than think of an answer to that question so i'll just say I don't care...

 

[Saint12]

Nah… according to fox it’s Rioli’s with his 10 disposal, 1 goal, 2 tackle and 1 non-mark game.

And one non tackle

What the **** was with that drive by on Aliir? We're getting absolutely ****ing reamed by the umpires, and we get a 3QT segment on how much Aliir supposedly gets away with, and we get slo-mo replays of him having the backs of his hands and his fingertips caressing the oppo's back.

Watch the umpires basically disallow him from competing in marking contests for the rest of the season.

They also close the entire top deck regularly for home games at docklands too, but lol its banners that are embarrasing.

There's oddly not alot of evidence of "the tarps" on Google.

My favourite was the comment about how dangerous his contract was on the Richmond player and how player's have been suspended for similar. Only issue was another Richmond player pushed him into said player. As a football supporter I'm glad Harley Reid didn't get the same treatment for his deliberate tunnelling attempt on Heeney.
