I am so depressed.

[Strider]

I’d say this year’s Tigers is arguably the least exciting in the last ten years for me. I dunno what to say. Rough year.

Leilulia brothers have been great.

I also happen to be a Richmond supporter, prior to winning the GF in 2017 they hadn't won one since 1980, during which time they had managed finishing 9th six times, only making the finals twice between 1983 and 2012. Seems a lot like the Wests Tigers now. Richmond are now one of the powerhouse clubs in the AFL, around 100,000 members and their future looks bright. This gives me hope that the West Tigers can turn it around. It may take a few years, but I've seen progress over the last few years, especially how the club is run which gives me hope.

 

[Telltails]

Not being able to get away from the footy bubble must be mentally taxing for players and coaches and the cracks are starting to emerge - especially for those not performing well. Some concerning signs of late.

For sure, but every team is in the same boat.

Wasn't referring to just our club.

Lucy has been a revelation
Joey has been trash 🗑

Chin up brother. I’ve been where you are and it does hurt. Just be glad you didn’t support the 98-99 Magpies. Now that was REALLY depressing.

What's gunna happen if/when we finally make the semis?
... I don't wanna be a downer and of course no one knows what will happen , but after a decade or more of expectation and then the week of media "WTs finally crack it" blah blah blah... Wouldn't surprise if we choked massively.... This is of course my current moodset so sink the slipper softly eh?

Firstly they’re going to need a bigger stadium

Secondly ...yeah we will most likely choke 😂

After a year of selling out ANZ,we'll play at LO. We can't lose there.

I never watch a game live anymore - years of anger and frustration have taken their toll - i'll follow the live game thread on here and if we win will watch the game on Kayo. If we lose i might watch the game a few days later depending on whether we put in a good effort or not. I won't be watching a replay of this game.

I really don't see the point of that.

Good for my mental health. I don't see the point of putting yourself through the emotional stress week after week.

Fair enough mate, but I don't know, it would take some of the disappointment away for me but it would also take all of the enjoyment away as well. I guess we are just all different beasts lol

 

[tbones10]

We all feel the same pain, I can handle the losses, it's the way they lost the last two that leave me empty. Two games with the season on the line and they don't put in. Watch next week, they'll play like premiers against lowly competition.
What has been extra hard, is listening to commentators use words such as honest and genuine to describe the Titans.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I turned it off after Knights took the penalty and went up 14-0. I saw the writing on the wall there and decided to remove myself from it, had a couple of things happen of late and didn't want that compounding it.

I hope everything is ok mate. Its hard, football is meant to be a bit of an escape and when we perform that poorly it takes that away.

Good on you for seeing the signs and acting. I too saw the signs, but I convinced myself "it's not like every other time".

Yeah, nothing that can't be worked through with time. Certainly right in the latter, I watch footy (and whatever other sport I am passionate about,) to watch my team put in an effort. I can't be bothered investing the time and emotion when I feel that they aren't putting in.

 

[Goldust]

I’m still very delusional,I do ridiculous math in my head which calculates how the tigers can still win if we score a try this set,which turns to the next set,this goes on for most of the game until about 3 minutes to go and then it sets in i wasted two hours getting upset over a game I was excited to watch all week.
This has been happening for many moons. I don’t think I’ll change.but I need to it puts me in a horrendous mood that my wife is sick of lol

Yeah it really is annoying to look forward to a game all week to have it turn out like Saturday where we were not even in the game. It is just so flattening!

Haha completely relate to this.

Always look forward to watching the Tigers at the end of the week, and so often it ends up being a waste of excitement and time.

And though I do say this to myself often, if we can't beat the Bulldogs this week I think I will invest my time in something more useful for me for the remainder of this season.*

*Don't quote me on this, because I'll most likely be back for more punishment.

I know it is hard to do ...but laugh it off .....the piss poor efforts in D ....the shocking handling .....the ineptness in attack

Treat it like a expecting to watch a thriller movie but it ends up as a comedy taking the piss out of itself
