All I am saying is because we have taken a few shots at them based on their poor effort last night I hope that we are here tonight win lose or draw and cop what will come our way. Otherwise we look a touch hypocritical.
The main difference is all and sundry(even many Tiger fans) have written off the Tigers before the ball is bounced today. Where as expectations for the Hawks showing signs of improvement were much higher. Yet as we have seen they have gone nowhere and the hype is exactly that.

tassie were terrible!
We all know they are rubbish but i didn't think they were that bad :D
Slowest mid field ever!
No back line, No midfield and no ruck!
I think we are all watch the next fitzroy team here.
I expect the tassie hawks to be dead in 3 years. :thumbsu:

How long have they been re-building again?

Continue to crap on about having the youngest list in the competition. But can they actually play football. On tonight's effort ... obviously not.
Well of course, all our kids were named and played didn't they? :rolleyes:
As for stating that we have the youngest list and then asking if they can play football. Are you a bit simple. Perhaps I should spell it out for you.
If we have the youngest list, it also means we are most likely going to have the most inexperienced list, which of course means we are going to have far less instances of our players out-bodying, out-thinking and out-playing the opposition.
For example, from memory we only had 3 players who have played more than 100 games of senior footy under their belt run out for us last night. Brisbane had 7.

All in all it was a disappointing performance, but it is only round 1, and hardly worthy of writing us off for the whole year.

Tiger fans have been copping **** from the over confident Hawks supporters all preseason about how great their kids are and how Clarkson has it all over Wallace with his rebuilding plans etc. etc. particularly the likes of H2F.
Well the proof is in the pudding and as we saw last night the Hawkers came up horribly short of the hype. I won't be hiding from the result of the Carlscum game regardless of the result. I have faith in TW over the long term.
It hasn't been a one way street.

I think any Richmond supporters slamming the Hawks need to look back to round 1 last year...113 points wasn't it?

Everyone is getting way too excited; it's only round 1.

Only morons tipped Brisbane for the spoon...a team with established stars such as Brown, Black, Lappin, Power and also a quality group of younger players (Sherman, Rischitelli et al.) is NOT going to finish bottom when there are useless lists like Collingwood's and the Kangaroo's running around.

But other than that...Hawthorn's performance yesterday = :thumbsdown:
Agree with that. Our performance last night was a shambles.
