Jack likes to occasionally remind me that Mr. Damian Hardwick is a student of Kevin Sheedy. That is to say, he is a bit of a sly dog not above a touch of psychology, symbolism, or emotional manipulation - at the right time and used sparingly, of course.

If you were coach of a team that some might think is a little satisfied, lacking in motivation, and you had in that side a fellow who had had to work and scrap and fight just to get a chance to get a chance, and had shown through that work and the success it eventually brought him, what hard work, discipline and persistence can achieve, and that bloke was playing his 100th game, you might use the occasion to remind your group just how lucky they are to be doing what they do, to be playing the game they love for a living, even if they are about to be asked to take on the terrible burden of staying in five-star accommodation on the Gold Coast for a month in the middle of a Melbourne winter. You might even bring in a similar scrapper for his debut, just to underline your point.

I don't think it's a coincidence Jake Aarts is debuting in Kane Lambert's 100th game. Mr. Damian Hardwick is sending his team a message. In a few hours we'll find out if they're listening.

I like to think his messaging is a little more overt?

something like 'bring it in fellas .....

are you a pissweak bunch of sooks,

or a dynastical brotherhood staring into the crater of greatness?

what is it fellas? Sooks? Greatness?'

players in unison: 'yeah c'mon fellas, were not sooks' (a couple of players feel a little bit of self criticism, but their training kicks in, they notice it, and they smile, and go 'yeah, c'mon fellas')

Said similar in Kane Lambert thread. Trying to create/manipulate an occasion to rise for.

 

[tigerlove]

Instead of manipulating an occasion I'd hope that a lot of disposing under pressure work was done mid-week. That's been the difference between us winning and losing regardless of the cattle. I don't want to see another 15 goal 3 behind opposition score as a result of poor turnovers.

Don't disagree, but as Hardwick comes from the Sheedy school of whatever it takes, and a bit of manipulated something to play for, helps get them back to their best, have at it I say.

That a very dyer'ere ish summary. Love it.

Tigers will remind us all today this season is not over.

 

[Carter]

Looking forward to the game today. The season certainly isn’t over, all we need is a spark.

D Rioli 15 touches, 3 goals, 7 tackles

 

[spook]

Not over by a long shot, Barter. The new flag faves have a key forward duo of Hipwood and McStay.

 

[Disco]

Huge day.
A win this afternoon jumps us to 10th and only half a game off 3rd spot, with games to come against the 12th & 13th teams over the next 2 rounds.

and last Fridays flag favourites,

are grappling with public institutional racism, are having real systemic issues related to trouser retention, and their marque star could be in jail for the finals

wide open all right

It is pretty huge.

I really wish M.Pickett was playing

 

[daniel30]

No excuses today right from the first bounce we need that intent and contest and that Richmond pressure.Cut out the silly mistakes and more then half dozen players need to have more impact.Forward line needs to function better to.

 

[Stig]

Rioli to play on wing today which is of interest

Caddy forward then? Without Rioli, Bolton and the old Daniel Butler we've certainly gone away from the speedster forward defense tactic.

 

[zippadeee]

Morris presented Arrts his jumper
For his first game.
Good luck little tiger

 

[spook]

Morris presented Arrts his jumper

There you go. Another scrapper.

 

[eZyT]

far be it for me to be hyperbolic,

But I reckon we will know if are looking at a dynasty in the rear view mirror,

or are undergoing a brilliant and deft metamorphosis in dynastically cocoon ,

by about the 10 minute mark of the 3rd quarter

Assume Caddy McIntosh and Rioli 3 way rotation

*smile* Chanel 7 advertised they were playing the tigers now they are playing an old *smile* matinee movie with Elvis pretending to be a *smile* Indian.

*smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* !

had cleared the house of infidels and had the couch all set up and

have to watch on a *smile* phone.

D Rioli 15 touches, 3 goals, 7 tackles

That would be close to matching his total stats from 3 games this year
