If you think that's a choke you know nothing about football.
Also your club has been handed more priority picks than any other club for the last ten years and you're still begging for more. How is that sorting yourself out, lol.

Fair enough, and I agree he presented well. But he lost me when he sooked and made excuses about the Tigers having to come to Geelong for our home game last year. It's not like we played the final there, it was a H&A game and our home game. Hardwick has sooked it up as much as Clarko, the Scott bros etc.

I think they started not believing they could from Chris Scott’s press conference in round 20 onwards
He spooked them
He spooked them
It's gonna be a tough season next year for the Tigers.
With some delistings, the acquisition of lynch they'll have to tinker with a plan B. Now they'll have to work on possession and skill, and not just manic Preassure.
Add the usual run of injuries most clubs experience and the mental battering collingwood gave them. Two years of intensity unraveled in one game.
Id hate to see a fall like the doggies.

full bellies of bathwater didn't help them. But the Pies were just better.
We've learnt one lesson.
Jack and the seven dwarves doesn't equal a forward line on a dry day.
As long as we recruit players with complete brains we'll be ok.
Unlike Jordan Lewis - what a terrible example he set for his les experienced team mates yesterday.
The dwarves will get upset that Tom is now eating all the porridge they thought the club was putting aside for them.
The dwarves will then poison Tom's porridge and it will all end in tears........
Some Tiger fans may have got ahead of themselves- doubt the club would have been thinking it was in the hand though.
If you take a critical look at Tigers last 6 weeks of football there were signs they were coming back to the pack to some.degree.
Tigers fans on Bigfooty made a lot of fun of Collingwoods injuries in their home and away clashes this year. The irony is it only took the one injury to one of Tigers key players in Martin to see them being towelled up.

Don't think that was a Richmond decision.
Tigers were completely out coached and out played on the night.
Lessons:
Grigg is not a ruckman, small forward line is not sustainable in dry weather, the umpires started paying free kicks for tunnelling (about 15 months too late), most Tiger defenders (except Grimes) are vulnerable "1 on 1", Tiger defence can get torn apart by a mobile, hard running, skilful forward line and when the ball is on the ground it is best to pick it up not try and play soccer.
Do you think went away from game plan or Pies got on top of it
Richmond was the best team because they had s core group of 6 stars, another very handy 6-8 players, and the rest were role players who play well to their system. However you look at the 22 who took the field in fri night , and across the board collingwood were clearly a more even and talented 22 and it showed
Bit of both, pies pressure got us to go away from it. We’ve absorbed it before from other teams, hawks pressure first quarter of the QF was as high as anything pies threw at us but we stuck to our game plan and got through it. That didn’t happen on Friday.
All that waiting around didn't help them, the expectation of B2B was high, Tigers fans i ran into all said to me the Pies will give a yelp, but "they're not in our League". This wasn't a game against an interstate team at the MCG, this final was against a co- tenant who really had nothing to lose. Nobody expected them to make the Preliminary at the start of the season, most Pies fans were just looking to make the 8 after finishing 13th the year before. Richmond were thrown out of kilter and this year the Pies players had the momentum...Over confidence was there for sure, it was oozing out of Punt Road..
Just one half of football and the season gone
Think people look at what fans are saying and relate that to the club. I’m sure the players and coaches didn’t think a preliminary final was going to be a walk in the park. Pies were tough to beat in both games, Dimma said they were our toughest opponents for the season, think we just didn’t play our best and they did.
Gee whiz - they were exposed on Friday but they've gone 28-6 since midway mark of 2017. Losses to the two grand final teams of this year, two other top 6 clubs (1x away) and 2 losses in Adelaide.
Hardly time to start talking about them being fjnished.
It's one thing for the Pies or Eagles to expose them, it's another for 15 other clubs to do it. Blueprint or not, you've still got to be a very good team to do it.
Tigers will be top 4 again next year.
