Universal Love Break the Fall

[Tiges1229]

Nope. That’s how professional they’ve become. The mind is the athlete. They’re treating it as such

Yup agree , perform much better when mind is clear , relaxed , no stress etc . I rekon majority of crows players played the game out inside there heads to much before the bounce which could have created anxiety / negative energy zapping the mind which in turn affects the physical performance etc . Crows looked like they had cement on there legs after 1/4 time .

 

[Sir_Loin]

Giants are kidding if they don’t win it. I’m expecting them to be brutal for the next 3-4 years.

They’ve just got too much talent. Its gotta click at some point. But they do have to play at the G and their record there is shocking. They need to get over that. If they do we’re all ****ed!

smaller but just as much a challenge is mount kleitoris...

gotta find it first, thought i saw it on a map of tasmania once but cant quite put my finger on it

I think flea said it somewhere - they couldn’t cope with or believe what the Tiges brought in terms of pressure. It sounds weird to say this but it looked like they were completely unprepared for what we dished up. Which is odd, wasn’t any secret - the only team I felt that troubled us in the finals was GWS and they play a very attacking style of footy. If you don’t put us away early you’re in for a long day

Their mindset was ****ed. After seeing the way Tex was at the pre match stuff at the parade I’ve never felt more confident, and I’m one who always expects the worst!
I was so relaxed Grand Final day it still blows my mind. They completely psyched themselves out.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Knew we would win during the grand final parade our boys were relaxed and enjoying it all crows were a mix of scared and arrogant **** smacks

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Best part was watching Richo in tears, overcome by emotion. He was amazing to Luke Darcy when we won the prelim and got into the granny, it was so nice to see him in the same situation 12 months later, I bet he wasn’t expecting it either.

The film is ok, I think you would appreciate it more if you were a Tigers fan. Is there another one coming out?

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Snippets of it were great (they're not so tough now comment obviously stands out), but if you break it down

Tom Hafey anything the man says is legendary so including that would have been something even a high school kid would have done. Absolute must but anyone with half a brain would have included that part
Most of the images if not all of the supporters anguish was from the last 10 years. Don't know about you but I suffered for nearly 40
A corny song in the background
Having to listen to one of the worst sporting commentators in history
The rest was highlights from the game which I see every time I close my eyes
No save our skins. I mean the club almost folded..............
The anguish of not only not winning a flag but for so long but finishing f****** ninth so many times to not only miss out on a finals campaign but cop so much s*** from the rest of the football community

Apart from Tommy Hafey and Richo it didn't really get me

I think that was what was missing the anguish, the pain, the humiliation, the suffering followed by triumphant, it just seemed a bit hollow, but I guess they have to do something different each year.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

GWS are the real worry for me. I know the crows got Gibbs in but Lever is a bloody good player and Cameron was just starting to hit his straps. Not sure their list is better than last years especially with smith being out for the year.

From what I’ve read a few of their players are underdone including tex and we all know how important it is to get off to a good start

AFL will be sweating on them winning one in the next couple of years

 

[FrustratedTiger]

You people are hard to please. I thought it was fantastic and better than the doggies one IMO. There was laughter (Power Rangers). There were tears (Richo in tears sets me off). Those criticising its length seem to have missed that both these docos (ours and the dogs one) were commissioned by the AFL to fit into their season launch and they would have dictated the length. The only thing I thought it lacked was reference to the SOS campaign but otherwise, I couldn't fault it

 

[dean33]

Definitely don't remember anything like that happening before.

It's always that 'steely resolve' look that they speak about

The result aside, it's one of the things im most proud of. Just how they really enjoyed the whole experience as much as we did

It’s brilliant, I actually emailed dimma on the Monday of grand final week just saying how proud I was of the club and what they had achieved so far not wanting or expecting a reply but just to let him know how much this meant to so many fans. He actually replied the same day thanking me for my support but more importantly wanting me to enjoy the week. I was gobsmacked and it just speaks volumes of the man and the club we have become.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Can you believe how relaxed they were? The biggest game in their lives, the biggest game in the clubs last 37 years in front of 100,000 people... and they’re laughing and cracking gags.
Immense kudos to the coach for creating that environment. And everyone who bought in.
No stress. Allowed them to perform at their best. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Still amazes me.
Can anyone recall a grand final where players were laughing and mucking about before the bounce?

Totally...
Totally unexpected GF win...totally out of the blue which makes it all the more sweeter...precious...perfect...giddy...savoured repeatedley...joyful...
The delicate intertwining of so many variables in a brutal sport that needed to happen for a win and it was gradually unfolding before our very eyes...
An amazing trip in an amazing year that had a momentum of its own...and we all collectively just hung on...we willed it to happen...we hoped...we prayed...laughed
So hard to explain...we won...and it was beautiful...
And all the nay sayers had their reasoned analysis as to why we won...it just made it all the more perfect our GF win!

 

[TigerImposter]

The full show

Thanks for the easy link as it saves me heaps of time. Great show and only disappointment was Trent didn’t give me his traditional ‘ The Reality Is ......” line.

 

[HTT]

guy who made it apparently took more footage of the crows and had pretty much written the whole script before the grand final...

Doesn’t check out. The AFL had already decided we’d win and rigged it. Would’ve thought they’d tell the filmmaker.

Great speech though, Tex wouldn't have been able to string more than a few sentences together.

 

[TigerImposter]

If 17 other clubs don’t fear Richmond this year then we will win it easily again.
I don’t rate the Crows as I feel they lack the midfield rotations as well as consistent small forwards who can perform at the pointy end of the season.
Plus they’re riddled with a few too many lumbering dinosaurs.
GWS could improve, but if they continue to play some of their old stalwarts they will start with men down and won’t go the distance. They need to play their younger talent like we did with George Butler Graham Lambert Broad etc.
I don’t bet on footy anymore, but IMO we’re hot favourites.

The reality is Tex knows we’re too good and these were the last and only words I’ve remembered him ever saying.

He had the empty seat next to him on the plane journey back, so he would have been very quiet then. #WeFlyAsOne

No mention of “the 4 walls” as well which was disappointing.

Agree and I think the loss of Charlie Cameron is going to hurt them severely. Betts always works best in tandem, when a fellow small forward is good enough to ensure that the defence pays him due respect too. That's when he seems to be at his damaging best. Was the same at Carlton, seemed to usually play his best games when Yarran and Garlett also stepped up too. Betts is a fantastic player, but seems too find it all too tough when he's lacking support.
The loss of Cameron and also Lever will hurt the Crows a great deal I think.

No mention of Mrs Hardwick by Dimma in the doco.

 

[Hoos]

Does anyone know if the Tuesday screening will be the same mini doco, i.e, all 11 minutes of it? Or is it a slightly longer version?

I thought it was okay. Not terrible, but not great either.

It’s a different documentary all together. It’s called Fighting Fury.

Oh cool. Thanks for that. It looks like 2017 hasn't quite finished for Mrs.Hoos then, lol.
