Tiges are great to watch. Well done to them they are well coached, a tight knit team and have that mongrel you need to be a top team.

I like that Lynch is trying to be a tough man, not like any complained on here when Barry did it. Hes a big boy, use it.

Another one of Malthouse's "golden child" ex teammates who got a pension plan year from us for seemingly no other reason than he was a mate of the coach or came from Richmond.


Ready? Tim Gepp, Michael Rolfe, Andy Preston, Neil Peart.


And I've always hated Richmond after suffering through the arrogance of their supporters in the 70s/early '80s. I took no pleasure at all in 2017 or 2019 and fail to see it as any great achievement. Premierships won on home grounds come with huge asterisks from my POV.

I enjoy watching the Tigers, they play like I'd like us to play. Mistakes are still made but the way they setup and carry out their individual roles is fantastic. The little tap one etc always seem to work to their favour too.

I don't loathe them at all, I'm envious of their success.

Neal Peart played a couple of half decent games from memory. Ben Harrison wasn't too bad at times. But apart from that - the cupboard is bare.

It burns me that they went and did what we didn't.

Eagerly awaiting Twodogs' reply to this.

He's the only player I've ever seen the trainers hang shit on. ��

I’m ok with Tigers although Lynch has gone down in my respect list due to his unnecessary antics of recent times. I think the collective is better than the sum of parts. Well coached. Fewer annoying players than Cats (whom I used to like in Bartel days however have players I liked all retired now). Plus still have best theme song and jumper (apart from ours of course).

I’m envious as hell of the tigers and the success they’ve managed to sustain after their first flag but there is no denying they have reached a level of team cohesion and form the entire competition would kill for.

The seem to “do enough” every week regardless of their competition. Their defensive wall looks impenetrable and they move forward in waves with pressure and intensity at The fall of the ball. The real stand out for me is the way they’ve managed to level their B grade players to A, C to B etc...

Can’t stand the arrogance of their fans but I’d be exactly the same if we’d backed up 2016 with any shred of consistency. Could also do without the blatant favouring of commentators and the blanket good news in all media assets but they’re big and make the league and those outlets a lot of money - so I’m not mad about it.

This. Although - would Chol agree about that "cohesion"?

But also, I felt that when they won in 2017 that they were passed off as a soft version of what we had done the year before. It was so tough, they'd done such a big thing, their supporters had been through such a drought.

Get stuffed. Through my red, white and blue coloured glasses - we did it harder and our story was a truckload better.
