I reckon that's just about the most insulting thing a person can say to a fellow tiger fan. so you think you're a better supporter than me because I (and many others) live on the dark side? you think you're a "true supporter" and I am not?

I think many on PRE are just sick of 'moandrones' as Baloo well describes them. Supposed Tiger supporters who seek to and dredge up the same negative, repetitive whining no matter what the team does. We can name several of them, several trying to come in from the cold of their prior record as star moandrone posters, who may want redemption now - for it all to be forgotten and forgiven. To sneak back into the fold mow that the club is achieving some success. But they can't really change their spots/stripes, and quickly relapse into nitpicking carping. Mostly re-hashing the same old rubbish. Why? Well, mostly because they're proven wrong most weeks, over and over.

But they have too much ego to actually admit it. Because it's all about them ... how right they are .. how much smarter they are .. how they know much more about it than you or me. They try to raise the bar each week ... if we can beat GWS ... if we can beat the Dawks ... now if we can do Cats at SS? As if anyone rates their view much at all. As if RFC even would give a toss about their 'informed' opines on Dimma's failures ...

Spare me your whinging and whining. GWS are the club for such 'followers'. Or why don't you try supporting Aints, Dees or Dogs? RFC is for genuine, rusted-on true believers. Some of the greatest ups and downs ever, but that's what I love about my club. It's never dull, like moandrones.

Stop whinging.

Who would want us to fail as this point?

What the hell is wrong with you? :hihi

Seriously, September will sort us out one way or another.

If Hardwick is to go again, he would wanna make the most of the double chance we're about to get.

If he wins a final, any final: I'm supporting him getting a new contract.
 
Just as a matter of interest, he now has 87 wins, 87 losses and two draws. He has reached 50% winning ratio, for the first time in his coaching stint. Let's not forget he lost his first nine.

Bernie has done a Lazarus.

Whoo hoo, deserves a toast. Gone past rocket with a bullet. BTW still not 50% win ratio but getting there.

Watch out Goodwin.

At the end of the year Bernie will have a successful year. RFC will do some chest beating over his decision to stay. Bernie will take credit for everything, then demand via the RFC official that this thread be renamed "How long will Lazarus stay?"

:) :)

It's not the first time. He reached it at the end of the home and away season in 2015 before the elimination final loss.

Those who love semantics would say it's not a 50% winning record but it is a 50% results record on points scored.

Bloody semantic mathematics.

Anyway should be 50% in two weeks and be positive at last rd 23 of year 8.
 
A classic thread that highlights how little the moandrones know about football:

http://puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=52480.0

So many stubborn, plain dumb opinions spoken like wisdom.

How anybody on here thinks their criticism has any credibility astounds me.
 
Look, they do have some insight though. For example, I've learned that when we get the ball and run it forward in numbers towards our forward fifty, we use a technique called the "handball" to move the ball to players in a more advantageous or offensive position.

Not if Morris or Hunt are in there. Remember them?
Oh that's right the moan drones wanted them out permanently
 
Lamby love posting this table, its his favourite thing. Thing is, there is zero context. Chris Scott and Chris Fagan both started from equal footing according to Lamby. They’re both called Chris and both senior coaches right? All I can say is, there is no danger of Lamby getting the Chief Handicapper’s job at Flemington.

The moandrones wanted plenty more out permanently. Dimma, Sheds, Grigg, Houli, Cellis, Bellis etc. It's the old moandrone tactic. Fling *smile* on everyone and then claim incisive insight when someone doesn't make the grade.
