I've decided this week just to sit back in the stands at Telstra have a few quite beers and
try to work out what's going on with this team....win (haha) lose or draw.....I'd just like to view the Tiges like my non supporting mates do......are we that bad?......are we the village idiots of the AFL?......are our players rubbish? How different is our style of play that brings us unstuck against all others?
It gets tiring supporting a team that is viewed as circus clowns......funny to watch but you wouldn't what to be one!
That's what the media tells me ......that's what my mates tell.

How can it be that hard to have a reasonably successive team? Not a flag winning team.....just an honest bunch of players who win more than they lose.

I've seen more rubbish Richmond teams since the eighties than I've seen great Tiger games
and this short sh#t game we play has been going for years...

Frawley may be a better coach with a better group, but this is the group he's got, and some players career's don't last the 4 years Frawley's had to get it right.......so if we win on Friday night the whole coaching staff gets a reprieve.......but if we lose......than Frawley stays till the end of the year, just so Casey and Miller can prove there is stability in our stupidity now than in our old quick fixes......but is fixing something after 4 years, a quick fix?

I teach my nephew to love the colours, love the jumper, love the club, love the theme song... so no player or coach's performance can ever tear that bond away from you...

I know we are average at that moment but on Friday night I'll smile in my beer at every Tiger supporter that turns up in the face of the mocking we have received recently....

Carn the Tigers on Friday night..

If u think about it we could be 3 wins and 3 losses after round 6!!! We are playing the crows tonight and we can win that and then hawthorn next week won't be impossible, so we could be doing alright after round 6

Geelong was our free gimmee and look what we did with it.

They don't/won't get any better than that.
No reason adelaide and hawks will be any different.

Forget the opposition.
Worry about us.

If it is another bad loss (no comment on whether that's likely or desirable) I would much prefer to see the players and coaches walking up the race with no supporters screaming at them - in fact no supporters even near them. I think an empty bay either side sends a stronger message than a group of screamers.

Perhaps the ground management could flash up a sign "free beer at Gate 5" two minutes before the end, just to start the crowd moving.

Like the idea Piping. If it's looking like a bad loss, ALL tiger supporters should leave at 3 quarter time. Can you image the impact of an empty stadium!
Yea.. ur right. That would lift there spirit. :rolleyes:

I was working on the assumption that the people screaming into the race and spitting are not interested in trying to lift anyone's spirits. Given that, I'd prefer to see them leave than carry on like that.

All those supporters who would like to attempt some spirit lifting exercises would of course be most welcome to go to the race.
