Rebuild Time

Jason King said:
The gameplan needs a rebuild at the very least. It doesn't work against good sides. The problem is that since Dimma took over, I dont believe there has been a genuine development of a skills first (and by this i really mean footskills) play style. Instead of trying to isolate your best weapons up forward we just time and time again bomb it forward.

JK we tried footskills in 2016. Ball security and slow controlled movement. It sucked

Caddy ain't a star this year, Lynch is running on three cylinders, Riewoldt and Cotchin have played eight games between them and Martin's had his issues.
Let's get the band back together and see where we're at.

Yep. add Rance, Nank, Lambett .. Some hack media types are suggesting we've "had our moment". pfft ..
one slight worry is how the older guys respond to long term injury, but by all accounts Alex and Jack are smashing rehab ..
 
I wonder if other teams have supporters as weak as some of ours. When the going gets a little tough, the tears and tantrums start

Even if we have had our moment, at least we had one.

It's staggering. Short memories.

Shhhhhhhhh.
You’ll hurt their feelings. They’re sensitive too

Certainly they do and it’s good to call them out at those times.
But then it’s just embarrassing when we have some our own doing the same thing.

I couldn't agree more. There are alot of toys being thrown out of cots at the moment

Like a true Tiger. Turned around and said "At least it wasn't Collingwood that beat us." I was pretty proud of the kid considering it was his first live match. Certainly no tears or tantrums like on this thread.

You taught him well. Keep drilling our hate of the Chokers to him.

Who is really weak as *smile*? People who advocate for change or those that accept failure?

:clap.
What do we want?
When do we want it?

*you don’t finish 2 games clear on top of the ladder and not make the grand final. That’s part the bugs me.
People had to be held to account, how we crawled into the finals?

Probably those who demanded that we sack the coach and half the team at the end of 2016.

Careful, you could very well end up with an abusive PM if you keep doing that. These guys are tough.

People who panic at a bump in the road and say I need a new car. And people who incite unrest at the drop of a hat.

Weak as p1ss.
 
I think we are rebuilding in a big way. At least we know Jack Ross is a better inside mid than anyone else on our list. Sydney Stack is just an awesome footballer. Balta is an exceptional talent. Lynch with a full Pre-Season will get much better. Garthwaite will be a great defender in 2 years. Naish will be a very good footballer in 3 years. Bolton is emerging. We have advanced a quantum leap this year so far.
