You know I completely understand Greg Miller's point of view regarding being patient etc etc, however I do take offence at the way its been said.

Most of us have gone the past 20 (or more) years with little or no success, so we are entitled to vent our spleen occassionally. Ironically, its members who love their club voicing their frustrations. They come from the heart and Greg Miller should try to understand what we have all been through as LOYAL tiger supporters....I felt Millers tone was very patronising assuming we are all halfwits without thoughts and opinions of our own who will blindly follow our leader.

While I'm on this.....Did anybody else pick up on Danny's blunder post match???....When asked why Rodan had played in the back pocket all night his response was along the lines of 'With D Kellaway withdrawing it left us with a problem of who to play on Leon Davis'

Now I have a problem with this comment...As we all know Duncan has a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a couple of weeks...surely this didn't happen in the warm up!!!!....Meaning that they had at least a few days to formulate a team structure that would enable Rodan to play further upfield where we desperately need him. Or at least have this as a back up plan should we need a crumbing forward as we so desperately did against the Pies.

Look, I support the idea of being patient etc, however I dont think we need to be patronized and treated like 10 year olds in the process!
 
That's interesting Macca.
It hadn't occurred to me, but that's what got under my skin a bit with that article.

I'd prefer Greg to come straight out and say this is where we are headed, we're in this together and if we all support each other we'll have a better chance of success.

No false promises, but on the other hand not blame us for lack of money to buy players, or for sacking coaches etc.

We had nothing to do with John Northey going for eg, and we can only wonder if things would have been different had he stayed.

Tell Tigers supporters what needs to be done rather than blame them for what has been done. And make everyone feel the club wants them there for more than their money.
 
a huge AMEN to that Rosy! I agree with you totally, come to think of it I agree with Macca also... what a crock that is to say that (about DK/Rodan) IMO opinion you could have put just about anyone on Leon 'egg basket' Davis and this would have freed up Rodan. Dunc is atleast a week away still so surely the injury happened atleast a week before rnd 1 or at the latest at training earlier in the week.
