Agree.

Will not renew memberships if Teague goes and Lyon comes in. No way.
I get what you mean @Mickey0, I would be gutted (yet again) if we sacked another coach. But the jumper is bigger than everything else and I would muster up the courage to front up (again) no matter how angry I was with the peanuts running the show. The 22 that run out every week need us.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Whilst I agree and did when they appointed MM who I absolutely thought was the wrong person etc etc, and then again with Bolton who I gave a lot of leeway to, I think DT is right for this group, more so than Lyon.  Hardwick is a tool and no thanks again.

Clarke, as much as it pains me, I could understand the club going for and would accept that SO LONG as he’s not on a book tour a la MM !

But do think stick with DT, there’s something more there - I hope we see success with him.

Hardwick is being exposed as a bit lucky in the draw of the cards, when his man Cotchin was the defacto on field coach and flying everything was easy for Dimma, now that Cotchin is either burnt or broken it seems Dimma is looking as clueless as any!

Tigers have lost the hunger, nothing else for them to achieve, happens to the best of teams....they need a clean out, new coach so they can reset their goals and start the journey again.
I saw them give up chasing vs the Pies, they dont give a feck anymore...

I liked the suggestion earlier in this thread of Martin to the HBF as he can tackle and mark and can use it well. He just tends to go missing up forward.

However with Martin, Willians and Saad all in defence, that’s a seriously expensive small defensive fleet!

Not much of a chaser unless the whim takes him - leave him in the forward pocket.

I'd rest Martin and play Honey...the former is either injured or cant be bothered. Honey is a decent kick for goal and and surprisingly not an undersized tadpole like we usually recruit. Interesting to see if Collingwood play a kid called Jack Ginnivan who is similar and been in great form in the twos.

Dead eye dick when kicking too is Jack.  Had to rub my eyes for a moment thinking Stocker was playing Sunday.

Wish we kept finding players who couldn't miss a goal if they tried.

We seem to have a bunch that resemble a car accident with accuracy and it took Matthew owies to buck that trend.

Owies is an intelligent player, he gets a lot of his shots in front of goal or only on slight angles.
Harry seems to take his shots from every angle when he gets them and when he leads to the dead pocket for a left footer he
gives himself no chance. Buddy can kick those but not many other players can....
Owies just has the smarts to find that open space in high percentage shooting areas to make his life easier.

Lyon reckons H was flushing every around the corner kick during the warm up on the weekend, both side of the ground.

That's the round the corner ones from closer in.. He had a banana from the dead pocket that he never looked like kicking.Buddy kicks those with drop punts, because Harry doesn't have the confidence in his kicking its going to limit where he can score from.
Fev was another who could nail them from any angle because he could kick a straight drop punt properly.

Fev also explains that he thinks the era of reliable kicking was gone because of the way we use so many new footballs they never really get kicked in like they use to.

I note that the AFL or it's supplier apparently now pre-processes the new footy's to try and simulate a bit of use.

Harrys snaps/bananas have a higher accuracy rate than his drop punts.

I'd back Harry to kick them from wherever.

I hope The TT allows for the occasion of us v Dagpies, the history, to seep into the playing group - it'll give them that little extra motivation. He said he is effectively against highlighting any game over another... please forget this, if the sense of occasion is allowed to soak into our group... we'll win by 44+.  ;D  ;D
