The AFL will ensure we beat north.
Too many losses and a young team is bad for business both now and in the future.
Combined with Bolton coaching "at home" and North being ordinary enough and the fact that our uncompetitive period coincided with a quarter of " free kick Collingwood " and I reckon we aren't as bad as advertised.
All that being said, a mate of mine got some VIP tickets into the rooms after the Tigers game. Reckons that there is some internal grief in the playing group. We are certainly displaying those signs currently.
I'll play devils advocate here. If there wasn't some anger amongst eachother after the game, then they don't have the hunger to play AFL football. If they were 'okay' with losing, i'd be more worried.
Sure, its not ideal that their might be some in-fighting, but there was some in-fighting at Geelong when Gary Ablett Jnr was first there. The playing group told him to pull his finger out....the rest is history.
