I was at the game and I'm totally gutted by the result but the kids that Wallace has drafted are showing great signs and i think his coaching has been really good.

Players like White, Tambling, Deledio, Edwards, Rievoldt, McGuane, Thursfield, King they were all fantastic today. Love our new forward line without pettifer in it

I still think he is the right man for the job and I personally think Michael Voss wouldn't be a coaches arseh*le and we should get behind him and realise that he wants to be around for the long run. The tigers running game is really shining atm just it was a terrible shame about the last 5 mins of the game because Richmond OUTCLASSED the dogs today who i think are a top4 team. Get behind em
 
I was having serious doubts two weeks ago. I hereby classify myself as fickle!

Actually, I don't think I can really be blamed for my change of opinion. I have been very patient but after the Collingwood game, I declared that I was one more performance like that from whipping out the knives on Wallace. Thankfully, it looks like we've completely turned things around since then. And I'm back on board, baby!
 
The last 2 weeks have proven a lot of us wrong. Of course Im disappointed we didnt get all the points but bloody hell, on paper they had us covered pretty much all over the ground. Their experience caught us in the end and we made some blues on the backline. Joel Bowden would have been pretty handy in those last minutes.

Im damn proud of todays performance after coming back from perth and all i hoped for was a competitive effort and not get blown away. We got more than that and any supporter who criticises our kids is a moron.


Well done all at the RFC. We are on the way.:thumbsu:

Bloody oath. We can sit around and dwell on the draw for the next week or we can think about the positives.
We have kicked 20 goals in consecutive weeks. Cant remember the last time we did that.
Alot of our kids are starting to fire and we are running and carrying alot more.
We matched it with a top 8 (possibly top 4) side today and we shouldve won.
We've gotta be happy with that.
We have scored 6 out of a possible 8 points in our last 2 games when no one gave us a chance of any.
 
the only thing that would dissapoint me would be to see changes for next weeks game the more experience the youngsters get the better they will be i think last year this is a game we would of been blown away in so i think theyre improving patience is the key.
 
I like most was critical of TW two weeks ago. If anyone witnessed the Collingwood debacle first hand they would have agreed. There was no intensity or desire in that game. Players seemed to jog on the spot and played "lazy" football. After a summer of "we'll let our actions do the talking" I thought that there had been no improvement in the boys.

That is what probably hurt the most. The team had seemingly gone backwards.

Then they go and BELT a side interstate. Can't remember when a Vic side did that last (except 07/08 Geelong). Now they are more than a match for a top 4 side and should have won.

Suddenly the intensity that was missing in weeks 2 and 3 is back again and so is a belief. Looks like the best thing the match committee did was drop Bowden and Pettifer. Their actions were like cancer in those games.

Good on you TW also for moving Richo out of the forward line. Something we all have wanted.

It's so good seeing the boys have a red hot go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GO TIGES!!!!!!
 
I was at todays game and even though the result didnt go our way I liked what I saw a lot. I know we didnt win and should have but if we play like that for the rest of the year we will be in the finals.

We have a forward line now that is multi-dimensional. Jack, Brown, Morton, Edwards and Richo floating in and out. They work hard to keep the ball in the forward fifty then we have Bling Deledio Foley Newman and even King all having a go at kicking goals. It was brilliant to watch.

We made a lot of mistakes but hell they backed themselves ran and chased hard and tackled like life depended on it. They all stared today the list of players I was impresssed with was 22 long.

Bling did one of the sweetest little handpasses in traffic that dazzled all who saw it and Morton is all class. Richo screamed at us after wobbling that goal through in the last quarter what a great day at the footy.

Go the freaking tiges.
 
I was at the game also, first one this year and have to say that yeah.. we should - and could - have won that game, and knocked off an unbeaten team, we should have had a plan to deny them those last 3-4 scoring opportunities. A more experienced team would have been able to do that.

The tiges ran, ran, ran and bloody ran all day without signs of any fatigue or slowdown.. their fitness seems to almost be on par with most of the current top 8 teams.. (i say most)

Enjoyable game.. great to see plenty of goals kicked, but sad to see a few chances missed, some really poor decision making continue and great to see Richo up close playing his guts out!
 
I was not at the game. Stuck in my tropical island paradise and what I saw had me belting the floor fisting the air and disturbing the peace. Cannot describe the joy in seeing such a hard at it performance. Was struck cold by the result but what a great performance. No one player sticks in my mind for good or evil deeds. And RICHO, has energy to burn. Good onya tigers.
