Doueihi?
💯 agree . I’m not saying Benji handled the Bateman situation well at all . I’m sure it was petulant and immature spontaneous reactions from an inexperienced coach . I’ve got no doubt about that .
But Bateman was horrendous that game and the game before . You can’t take home that coin , and have the personality he has , without expectations around performance and accountability . I mean well you can, but then this type of shit happens because you’re a man child who can dish but not take .
Standards 💯 need to lift and the kids needed to be told thier performances arnt good enough , but if Ive played 150 plus games and im on top dolllar and almost 30 , id have to be the biggest delusional mess of a human to not see that my performances are going to more scrutinised than 18 year old .
When it comes to that , it’s apples and oranges .
If the kids are paid the same as me , well sure , the. He’d have a leg to stand on . But he’s paid almost triple these kids , and he’s in the leadership group . His performance Is completely unacceptable .

Half glass full half empty i suppose...
It’s because it’s been whispered that he’s the other experienced player kicking rocks . If it’s not him , then I apologise .
Or misguided optimism.....
You've been red hot for like the last 3-4 off seasons though...
Every year it seems you're here telling us how amazing it's all going to be,
How good they're looking at Training and all that
We probably all wish we had your reset switch.
But what’s the point of being negative though ? Honestly if you’re that miserable why even invest time into the club , the forum etc. the coach isn’t getting fired , so even if you’re right , you’re massively on a hiding to nothing . It’s masochistic . I guess we’re all masochists to support this club , but man , it must be absolute torture to support this club with the contempt you seem to have for the club at the moment .
I guess most of us try and be optimistic because honestly for me personally , if I couldn’t be optimistic , then supporting this club would not be worth it .
Another Happy Clapper!!
I've drank the cool aid plenty over the years as well - Don't Worry...
Maybe I've been that invested for so long that the root cause for the contempt and the
negativity is the club itself.
What ? You’re missing my point .
Do you not sit back and ask yourself “is supporting this club worth what it does to my head ? “
Why invest time and effort into something that gives you nothing in return.
For me the return is the optimism that things will turn around , because ultimately , as much as i contribute in here , I’ve got zero control over anything that the club does .
If you’re that contemptuous , how is the juice worth the squeeze ?
I’m not judging , I just fully understand the torture this club does to my head during the season, and I’m optimistic , I can’t only imagine how for people like you it must feel like 24/7 waterboarding to follow this team .

It’s gotta be a bonus for Luai to meet up with May at Concord next week
It's his last year anyway. Don't see it. Maybe olam with his knees?

I think that's the beauty of sport though... We the punters just never know... From season to season or week to week.... I'm sure theres hope and.optimism amongst us all... Just in varying degrees... Venting our frustation here is.often.tje only place.for.some as friends or family don't give a crap... Or just take delight in our suffering

Not exactly.
They came to a grand final and lost to a very strong souths team. Natually to do that they blew their cap. BIG!
Yet the dogs were training hard and tough. We seemed to rely on junior talent and our training from what I see was nowhere near theirs.

Funny that, ain’t it.
If a player was on $250k wage and hit form, they’d agitate for a release mid contract.
Yet the ones who know they got lucky to be paid overs are digging their heels.
TBH, I’d be one of those unless you are a dumbarse

Nothing indicates it is a Tigers player. More than likely one of the other 16 teams in the comp.
Olam's double knee surgery should see him back fit once he finishes all the rehab protocols.
I am keen to see Olam back out there, as I can see him striking up a killer combination with Luai.

We go through this each and every year as fans and supporters. Always trying to look at the glass half empty. Despite our positive attitude, the playing group always manages to dish up the same trash. Without fail.

That’s Gold.
But to be honest, it doesn’t matter how long you have supported this club; we have all suffered
To make it worse, none of us will walk away despite the anxiety, struggle and cheap laughs others have for us supporting this club.
