Mark Fine seems ok, St Kilda fan but was definitely singing our praises last night.

Noted how St Kilda were trying to isolate our defenders as we like to support each other, and praised how in the second half we were able to overcome it and reorganize.

Was pretty forceful as well saying that our starting 4 mids are the strongest in the land and better than Collingwood. He said he was coping some stick on the SMS from Pies fans who said; Jolly, Pendlebury, Swan & beams > Maric, Cotchin, Martin and Deledio.

He responded and said; Anyone who thinks Jolly is better than Maric has serious mental deficiencies and has no idea about footy, pies need more out of swan, pendlebury yes, and beams yes.

But praised how Cotchin and Martin he believes when on song can match pies.

Was respectful in acknowledging a proven finals team, but really backed our young cubs and said how this core is only getting started and said when Cotchin hits 25-26 and they're all in their prime, we're going to be scary good.

Definitely nice to hear on the drive home after a great win, makes the weekend of study before exams that much easier ;)

Finey is OK. Bit of a boofhead, but the good thing about him is that he allows callers their say and allows them to be boofheads as well.
He doesn't dance around like a prima dona.

Tom Harley Definately has no respect for the Tigers, the last few times he's been calling the games on TV he's quick to point out the things we're doing wrong and takes his time to give us some actually praise when we're doing the right things.

And no we're not going to talk about that game in 2007 against Geelong which is prob why he has no respect.

Don't think I've ever seen Mark Robinson write a good word about us. Definitely hates us. But having said that I did stop reading his useless articles a long time ago so not sure what he's been writing about of late.

Hutchy definitely loves us, even I think he's gone a bit overboard at times with some of his comments on footy classified!

Sam Lane loves us judging by the way she was talking about us tonight on before the game

I think Shane Crawford has a bit of a soft spot for the tigers- used to support tigers as a kid so I guess that's why.
And Nathan brown which is pretty obvious why
I used to think cometti liked the tigs but seems to have changed his tune this year
Gerard whately has been obssessed with Richmond for the past couple or weeks and hutchy has been singing our praises aswell

Whateley 'gets' us. I don't knwo why he does, but he does. He understands the passion we have and genuinely loves it, rather than mocking it like some do.

Probably because he is a Geelong fan, and he understands what a long premiership drought is like, and then the feeling of finally breaking through and creating a dynasty, which the mighty Cats have done over the last 6 or so years.

Hopefully we are the verge of something similar! :D

Tim Lane ( aka Mr I'm more intelligent than all of mankind) frigging hates us... His commentary us always tries to will the opposition over the line

Same too Quarterbrain...glad I don't have to put up with his drivel

As for Fat **** Robbo... absolute flog

Rex hunt loved us...and gave it to Wallsy every chance

But typical of the mediocrity of callers, they will all turn( if they haven't done so already) and jump on board

Mick Warner can go to the top of the like list asap. :thumbsu:

Gerard Whately, Stan Alves (can be brutal on us but he wants us to be good) and Martin Flanigan can also go on the like list.

One notable thing has been Harley and Ling.
They had genuine contempt for us which was highly understandable but you can feel their pleasant surprise come over the airwaves.
As pointed out they'll be critical when warranted and do it in a way that makes sense,and really positive when warranted too.
They're enjoying the tigers I think.Maybe it takes them back to a similar stage of their careers.

Luke Darcy's comments last night stating that the final 8 is now settled is a big call, considering the season is only 10 Rounds old!
Yes i heard him say that...nearly choked on my Chardy...and it simply confirms to me that he has no idea when it comes to footy and this years current trends...its still open...

Especially with all these upset wins...

File Darcy under clown....and dont forget to wear your red nose next week...:p:eek::D...

I've really liked Ling recently, doesn't seem to get too caught up in what was but instead comments on how things are

Not quite on topic but Robbie nahas was just on the Sunday footy show and was very good. Described tucky as a unique unit who gives them all a laugh without meaning to which is the best kind of funny. Also got stuck into jack for not handpassing to him in the goal square.

In the game loved his free kick for too high where he was letting his opponent know all about it almost as it was happening.

Mick McGuane hates us
Befrore the start of the year he said we would be lucky to win a game and in his predictions for the year had us winning the spoon and said we didnt have a player that he rated other than a Martin and Cotchin who arent there yet but may make it in the future... Total toss bag
Still won't give us any credit and I don't think he has picked us yet this year.
