News Breaking the cycle

Intetresting article from the AFL website, it's a pretty good summary of everything that's happened with the club over the last 30 years, also love how candid Benny Gale is, doesn't shy away from anything.

"We're here to be the best. That is not to say we're guaranteed to be the best, it's to say we have the socks to pull up if we get the right people, right plan and make the right decisions at the right times," the 42-year-old Gale said.

Just finished reading the whole thing, I must say that it really opened up my eyes into how broken and fractured the club was, I was born in 87 so I wasn't aware of how bad things were back then.

Same boat here, born in 1988 so hearing about how loads of little failures have accumulated into us being one big failure. It's a good history lesson.

What an eye opener and great insight into our depressing past.

I was born in 1979 and I still had no idea about the deep and entrenched issues our club has experienced for so long.

Just makes you want to see our beloved club climb back to where we belong.

being old enough to remember Bartlett winning you a Flag and you beating us when we could have had 4 flags instead of 1 and then two more .... grrr I remember what a strong TIGERS team was like.

Its funny because I miss the tigers fans in full voice, but once that happens again will be sure to wish you back to the bottom of the ladder ... haha.

Having read the article I can say it was an excellent piece and chronicles exactly what happened and the small mistakes here and there which just turned your proud club into a debacle.

I am really impressed with the resolve this time round and the ability of the club to say here are the mistakes of the past lets not repeat them, move forward and get successful again.

The $2.3m already raised is proof that there are a lot of Tiger's fans out there prepared to put their money where their mouth is.

I personally wish you all the best as when we were kings we provided the VFL some awesomely good footy!

I thought the article waffled on a bit. Seemed to jump all over place.

for the >35's nothing we haven't read before...sadly the theme was a constant, wrong people in pivotal roles both on and off the field for three decades, would have destroyed clubs made of lesser stuff..here's hopign we have began to get it right
