Round 6 other games
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Had a squiz at thier draw thus far, They beat a flat pies, tho if Pies could hit a target fwd of centre they win that, thier other wins are Syd/Freo/Norf & they managed a loss to Carlton which takes some doing. Thier draw will get much harder from here.
Norf have thier usual $1.5m laying around they may as well extend him as they won't get anyone else.
Brown easily gets more free kicks than any other fwd in the game. Imagine how many Goals Jack would kick each yr if he got the same free's Brown gets....
Tonight they bombed long into thier fwd 50 & let Essendoom stroll our of thier back 50 with ease. If they do that next week (as they did last week also) our backs will get leather poisoning & we'll be off to the races from there.
And looking at the last 4 years, only carlton GC Brissy Dogs Swans and Freo have played more kids than us.
If we consistently get 100+ games into the younger brigade each year its a significant long term boost
That was a period where we were drafting young Aboriginal lads with talent but who were unable to manage or adapt to the disciplines, demands and rigours associated with elite level footy often away from their home states and families.
The academy and a new direction of the club has allowed the boys and academy kids to flourish at Tigerland.
Credit to the club the academy and the clubs leaders because it is no easy feat to create a club environment that allows many Aboriginal lads the opportunity to grow as footballers and young men and be comfortable in some cases a very ong way from their home.
Same goes for the youngsters at the academy and the kids that visit from the top end and Interstate communities for excursions and experiences.
Creating a strong bond with the Tigers outside of Victoria also.
Theres been a few great Indiginous Tigers over the journey but I cant remember a time where the RFC had as many senior Aboriginal players on its list at one time tbh especially all within the team at once which is very close to happening and then adding in the impending arrival of Jnr soon also.
Exciting times for the RFC, things have changed a lot in a few years.

He might not be the fastest or the most skilled.
But i will always remember him as a dead eye *smile*.
I’ll ask the obvious.... is the rutten/caracella the finals formula.... there were some very similar patterns and processes on show last night.... even to the point of a shaved head-bearded chap streaming of a HB and 2nd link to forward 50
Their "shaved head-bearded chap" is a poor facsimile, just like their game plan.
I dunno, I reckon Saad is beginning to progress and mature nicely.... being a lot more predictable to the team... prior... yeah, really fast chaos
Bairdy, let's see what he does against better teams, when they are put under greater pressure.
You know that old saying that for some minnow sides, the really good powerful teams are their Grand Final, that’s what we are for #lolnorf. Our Grand Final is the actual Grand Final.
Can people chill on Essendon.
They might be 4-1 but this is a side that finds ways to lose.
Good sides don't lose to Carlton. Not why sure why they keep on referring to the game in hand either because Melbourne has a good record against them.

They also spent all game keeping Norf in it who are struggling themselves. Do that against decent teams & they'll be steamrolled
Just watch them work on those mistakes and fire up to play us for their one good game...they often do. But if Cunnington and Ziebel don't play, then we should win.
