I'm not super down on the admin. As I said, I just have no idea who O'Rourke is or what he stands for or his vision for our great club.
As a Gold Member (or whatever level we are), I would have thought the club would have communicated such things to me (us), but they haven't.
Let them do their jobs, well duh...
Let me ask you Sin, do you feel you understand what is happening at our club with all these changes? If so, can you share with me what they are? I truly would like to know. Not asking to be a prat, I'd honestly like to feel I knew.

Yep, Larkey the difference. Lynch or Lefau play we win. Teams don’t usually win games of footy with 40 odd entries into forward 50 and teams don’t usually lose with 60 entries inside 50. No forward line with dusty and Bolton doing bugger all inside 50.
Must say you’ve hit a purple patch of talking sense on this thread today, Posh.
I don’t know what’s happening but I don’t expect to know. When we get a new CEO i will find out, when we settle the coaching staff I will find out.I'm not super down on the admin. As I said, I just have no idea who O'Rourke is or what he stands for or his vision for our great club.

To me there is absolutely no reason to suspect that there isn’t major planning and tactics being decided for the off season now.
We can all judge the decisions that get made over time.
That’s me, we are all different.
We will hopefully have the next Dusty Cotch and Jack which will make a huge difference, to me at least
Awesome post Mr P.
I went today with some family and friends and we enjoyed each other’s company, enjoyed parts of the game and came away pretty frustrated by most of it. But I supported the Tigers who have given me 8 premierships in my lifetime.
Bookmark it Posh. We are not as bad as many think we are, we will bounce back but in the meantime ….
GO TIGERS !!
This expected score thing is *smile*. It’s predicated on the fact that you have players who can kick the ball well. We don’t kick our expected score because we have too many players who can’t kick.
It’s like saying Matt Shirvinton would beat Usain Bolt in the 100m sprint if he could run faster than him.
Gimme a spell lol
Sanctimonious much? You got the list wrong this year, about to get the drafting strategy wrong and now spouting Dalai Lama
Yeh too much emotion about finishing with the wooden spoon. We are poor. We deserve pick 1. But I would much rather be following the tigers than the likes of Norf or Saints or bulldogs. Loser clubs permanently.
How are you gonna feel when we draft Smillie with our first pick?
That’s what I have heard. Not gospel of course but have heard from a couple of sources that have some insight.
I believe he is our number 1 but of course it could change.
Sorry but how the *smile* have I got the draft strategy wrong? In all of my posts I've clearly said we were going to hit the draft hard at the pointy end this year whether thats accelerated further by player trades is obviously up for question but I have ALWAYS said this year is about getting as many picks inside 20. Show me where I have said anything else aside from that.
At least I'm consistent, over the last few years all you can be described as a flip flopper.
BTW I don't give a *smile* what you think of me, but stop trying to tear people down from trying to stay optimistic about some of the players we have.
I saw some small green shoots today, such as Campbell, who I’m now confident will become a good player for us.
As we all know, kids (a) take time and (b) are inconsistent. And as fans, we (a) have goldfish memories, forgetting recent good/bad games by player X and just judging him on today’s game and (b) we’re impatient knee-jerky catastrophisers spoilt by recent success. We loved Dow in the pre-season. We loved Miller 5 minutes ago. We’d written off Hugo and Banks.
Think we just have to let the cavalry get healthy, and let the kids make mistakes and get 50 games under their belts. In 2-3 years, with some old picks, we could “suddenly” come good, like the Hawks. They don’t have many obvious superstars but Mitchell has them enjoying their footy and playing go each other.
In fact, that might be the best thing Yze could do in this period - revive Dimma’s instruction to “enjoy your footy”. Take off the pressure; learn from mistakes and grow in confidence; support the older players. The wins might come.

It’s not meant to mean much except that it is a good measure of opportunity in a game.
The fact that we are often showing a better expected score than what our actual score is showing that we are well in games and the effort is strong. I quoted it a few times to dispel the myth that our effort was poor.
In some ways it is a pretty reliable indicator of the skill and connection gap we have.
