Its no time for measured and constructive backpeddling now

yeah, yeah, but do you disagree with the notion that the list is / has been very good but gaps will rear their heads in 2-3 years?
i'm happy to wait for your response while you assimilate the views of others :hihi

Geeze carts, you really need a new schtick.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at the ages of our best four then factor in the passing of time. The list has been mediocre for most of the past eight years so I disagree with that assertion.
The question is what do we do right now. Unlike you I reckon we go hard for another key position forward and maybe another key mid. The blossoming of our young guys and the crazy evenness of the comp means we have a 2-3 year window and we would be crazy not to go hard. Neither would I trade Dusty as you've suggested in other threads.
Of course, your position changes from week to week so who knows.

it has changed accordingly with the vagaries of each new yearly campaign. as of 2017 we are in a tight window to challenge. we blew chances 2013-15. when jack starts to decline we are in deep sh!t despite our current success. in your lounge room you might think the club exists in a vacuum but the situation is changing rapidly.
oh, and you are naive to think we can go after a decent key position forward and not give anything.
Not sure where to put this but since it relates to Hardwick the coach I decided to post it here.
I liked what he said post match and I'm so hopeful of us making top 4 and doing some damage in the finals. I like some have been a critic & supporter. He will be judged this year.
This is what he said. Just a snippet.
He believes his side's game-plan, built on the foundation of pressure around the contest and a high tackle count, will survive the finals cauldron.
"It's a different template to what we've had previously so we're really confident it stands up in big games," Hardwick said.
"It's built on the fundaments.
"We've been in every game this year bar one, the Adelaide game (where the Tigers lost by 76 points).
"We challenge the players more and more every week and we love the way they're going about it.
"We've still got a lot of improvement left in us.
"Our best footy, mark my words, is still in front of us."
LTRTR do you have data or stats that show in the finals years of 2013-2015 and this year as it stands 2017 when we are-
Behind vs when we are in front - Win /Loss ratio.
The one thing like maybe so many supporters I'm more confident when trailing 1/2 time then having a 3/4 lead winning.
Like many sides in the 8 , we have scope for improvement-
Goal kicking conversion
Finding the correct formula with our best smalls going forward
Help for Jack
Help for Nank
Sky is the limit.
But we never get ahead of ourselves at Tigerland
Thanks LTRTR

Many said when pressure came he would blink, i don't think he has...
The close games we lost IMO was mostly on the players (esp leaders) being out of position, simple stuff with seconds/minutes to go to save/run out the clock.

disagree. if we doesn't win a final he deserves to go.
Aegean Tiger said:
I did enjoy our best win of the season win on Saturday, but I am still happy to launch a scathing assessment of Dimma. I still think this small forward line is unsustainable and will not win finals. some will argue the doggies last year and the tackling and rabid pressure will suit finals, but I disagree. tall forwards win finals.
