Go TiGers in 2005I’ve been waiting for Sheeds to return to Punt Rd for over 20 years now. Doesn’t look like it will ever happen.
We need some of the old Tiger champions back coaching the club. Malthouse or Sheeds would be perfect. I’d even be happy to see Neil Balme come across from Eddie’s Egos.
Who would really want the job.
They need to do the following;
1. Richo is a good player but his body language in a team sport is shocking. Sort it out.
2. Get players who can kick to a player not the opposition. Rodant, kellaways, gasper, krakaouer, chaffey, zantuck the list is bloody endless.
3. Get some aggro to get the hard ball – get rid of campbell, pettifer, bowden, hilton, fiora, tivendale, houlihan,
4. Gasper – reduce his contract term and pay.
5. Brad Ottens – get him to achieve half his potential.
6. Give Coughlan the captaincy.
7. Give the kids a go.
Thats about it.
I reckon Yack’s on the right course, name your price Yack… I’m mates with one of the board members, perhaps I could put you two in touch…
ryes guys
some good thoughts here.
Balmey, i never thought he was as tough a couch as a player. cetainly a legand none the less. after couching melb through those bad years, (still remember some of those facial expressions), doubt whether he’d want the job.
we need someone who knows how to win premierships. All those mentioned do.

Hi Westan
I presume you are talking about that game where the boys run around in very tight squeekies and singlets and where the crowd is about 75% women.
Regards
Yes Muppett you are once again correct.
It’s funny how you bring women into the discussion when we are talking about the way my team, Richmond, is playing (yes like womenno insult ment to ladies), They could certainly learn something from the scrubbers , i mean the silver ferns. For those who don’t know the NZ netball team is playing the Oz girls it gets live coverage on TV1, its a big deal over here – Netball.
….its a big deal over here – Netball.Figures, I guess it is a little bit more exciting than watching bubbling mud at Rotarua!
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome and well preserved body, but better to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming . …… Hell, what a trip !!”

Hey rugbyfan I thought watching dogs get sheep to walk thru a couple of bits of fencing was the number 1 tv sport over there.
Oh and muppet I was wondering what game you meant by “that game” but then it became obvious that it was AFL when you referred to the spectators as a “crowd” because you only get 3 men and a dog at those minor sports like rugby
