Today the Tigers were going to hit the 'wall of reality'. It was going to be -

  • We crash right through with a 100pt win and the season is back on track;
  • We bounce off the wall and limp on to next week with a win; or
  • We hit the wall and explode .....

Well that was garbage ... nothing, horrible and gave a pretty accurate account of where our season is at the moment ... its going to be a long season with not much chance of Yellow and Black in the finals ...
 
I don't know how a team can go from 7th, being right in it to our necks against top four teams last year, to adding midfield grunt and having 1 win out of 7. Seriously, what went wrong between then and now?

How outright disappointing that legends of the club like Cotch have their last seasons in a team at the bottom.

I'm honestly more sad about the fact that I don't think I cherished our dynasty enough when we were in it rather than where we are now. I don't know, it's just all so frustrating and baffling to me what's happened.
We ****ed our pre season
Clear and simple, we're the place where loser coaches go, why does it make sense for us to have yesterday's trash in very important roles.

We are miles too slow recruiting Hopper and Taranto simply had to be the end of players like Cotchin, Ross etc. Every player around them needs to be a good transistion player. Play Bolton, Short, Baker, Martin around them and Graham when hes back. Prestia off the bench. Not having any small forwards with our gamestyle is criminal.

We looked good against Melbourne and then we go way taller today.
 
Horrible coaching performance today, resting Prestia is unforgivable arrogance, three ruckman at marvel ffs, 8 slow mids, and back to flinging balta around
Tbh, If Prestia played on his current form then he'd likely be a passenger like Cotchin was today. Playing all of Soldo, Ryan, and Miller was a big mistake though.
 
At least Young has * all experience and has showed something in previous games
For me he has shown shit all, he is another garthwaite. Can spoil a bit, but offers no intercept marking , no kicking skills and is fuvking stupid as hell.

Literally almost 10 of the players playing today should not be in our team anymore or next year . It's a worry how far they have fallen. It's going to be worse than west coasts fall. This club has had 30 years of shitness before our success , so we are more used to being shit. So we need more years of success to get rid of this losing culture. Now it's back in a big way.
 
OK it’s clear this year won’t be ours, Hardwick’s coaching looking suspect and our older players appear incapable of back2back games, where to from here? Very little in the two’s so all we can look forward to from here is to blood any of the youth as they return from injury and hope we can pickup some decent types in the mid season draft. I think Cotchin and Jack have reached their use by dates and Tarrent, Grimes, Pickett and McIntosh are a chance to be gone at years end. The problem will be that lack of experience going forward so I expect some very lean years as we rebuild prior to Tas’s entry into the AFL. We should have cash available as we loose our experience and should be able to buy replacements. From my perspective I think we have lost our way with all of Brendan Gale, Peggy and Hardwick dropping the ball with their minds otherwise engaged.

Anyone not named baker or Dan Rioli probably not deserved of a vote.
As bad as we’ve been in a long long time.
Got some serious moves to make this off season, I don’t know what the best option is but we probably have to look at trading back into the draft.
We are stinky shit
 
I can't fing believe what's been going on this season. It's like watching a fing train wreck in slow motion, and I can't take it anymore.

One fing win, five losses, and a fing draw? Are you kidding me? The boys are playing like absolute st and it's driving me up the fing wall. We just lost against the Gold Coast Suns, for f**'s sake. It's like our boys have forgotten how to play footy.

Now let's talk about our aging stars. I don't know what they've been eating or drinking, but it's like they've aged a bloody decade since last season. They're slow, they're lazy, and they're making rookie f***ing mistakes. It's like watching your grandad try to play footy with the youngsters.

And don't even get me started on the fing coaching. What kind of st strategy are they cooking up over there? I reckon I could do a better job, and I'm just a f**ing plumber. It's like the coaches have lost their bloody minds.

To top it all off, we traded in Taranto and Hopper for our future first-rounder, so now we don't even have the f***ing silver lining of a good first-round pick. I don't know what the bloody hell is going on in the backroom, but someone needs a swift kick up the arse.

If things don't change soon, I swear I'm gonna lose my fing mind. We need to pull our heads out of our asses and start playing like the Richmond Tigers I know and love. If we don't, this season is gonna be a fing disaster.
 
I emphatically rejected a suggestion we’d finish bottom 4 , I owe that person an apology , of course we will , In fact the only wins I see our way are the likes of hawks and wc trying to throw the game to secure Harley Reid , we are garbage. So many clapped out players that are totally spent and look every bit like bottom 4 senior footballers , it wouldn’t be the silliest idea to retire off 4 of them so we could trial a few for 6 months at MSD
 
cotch, jack, martin, sampson provide no pressure in the forward line..
too tall and slow everywhere else
making nank and grimes captain was bad
Yes but we still play the same style seriously the coaching staff need to address this poor coaching
Never should have named two captains of our club we had never done that before and poor Grimes looks like he’s lost it doing things he never did and gets beaten now in one on one’s he never did in the past
