Banter Round 14 - Richmond Tigers v Great Waste (of) Space

[Drezdyn]

And what colour are real giants?

Hint:

Oh no, you're arguing about the colour of a mythical creature.

The dungeons and dragons board called. They need you to settle an argument as to who would win a fight between a dragon and a wyvern.

 

[Helen Wheels]

Are giants little tiny creatures that belong to the US Army? (GI ants)

 

[Drezdyn]

All you've really managed to do is point out that your club colours and your club name have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

What does Yellow and black have to do with suburb with an RAAF base on sydney's outskirts?.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

All you've really managed to do is point out that your club colours and your club name have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. The price of being nothing more than a marketing exercise, I guess.

And what do tigers have to do with Richmond? When was the last time a tiger wandered down the main street of your suburb? I'd wager there are more Giants in Western Sydney than there are tigers in Richmond. And tigers are orange, not yellow. Why Yellow and Black? Granted, it sounds good when shouted in your song, but what does it really have to do with a tiger?

At least our colours are representative of our area, if not the nickname of the club.

Well we certainly know that supporters of GWS are imaginary & mythical, just like giants, so I guess that's pretty appropriate.

So I guess you're playing your imaginary friends this weekend? Or are you playing with yourselves?

Wikipedia says: In 1758, Linnaeus first described the species in his work Systema Naturae under the scientific name Felis tigris.[3] In 1929, the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the species under the genus Panthera using the scientific name Panthera tigris.[5]

The word Panthera is probably of Oriental origin and retraceable to the Ancient Greek word panther, the Latin word panthera, the Old French word pantere, most likely meaning "the yellowish animal", or from pandarah meaning whitish-yellow. The derivation from Greek pan- ("all") and ther ("beast") may be folk etymology.[6]
And Richmond is "Tigerland" because it is a dangerous place for the unwary.

Time to update the club song

"For we're from Tiiiigeer
YELLOWISH AND BLACK!"

Ever been around Western Sydney. Not good for the unwary either. Checkout Doonside, Rooty Hill, Mount druitt and..... oh I forgot, Richmond. Fair enough. Point taken.

Just gotta love a place called Rooty Hill.

Oh no, you're arguing about the colour of a mythical creature.

Thanks for the feedback. Once you guys decide whether giants are mythical or whether they live in Western Sydney we can talk some more.

Not a thing. What has the question got to do with anything at all?

Geez whiz, is the AFL paying you to be troll?

It's a banter thread, and yes the AFL is paying me - direct from the profits from the exorbitant food prices they make you guys pay at the MCG. If I hit a nerve (like I clearly just have) I get bonus payments direct from the Etihad buy-out fund.

 

[DrMike]

I just want to take my GWS hat off for a second and say the following:
Perth Scorchers are the best "orange" team in Australia

 

[aislegi]

Isn't that a screen shot from just before Ivan kicked his penalty goal?!

It does look like it - only the player I drew, if you look closely, has the football, unlike the Swans players

Mate, you're on the Richmond board. You can't just recycle the jokes you made from when we played Collingwood.

 

[aislegi]

I'm so excited about finding some fellow GWS fans and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why our logo is a leaking tap?

Richmond, Collingwood. Same thing

What does a Rooty Hill girl use as protection during sex?

A bus shelter. ...

As apposed to unprotected insest? Which is how you guys got to 70k members

You're right. They both won a premiership, sacked the coach, and slipped into oblivion.

What was wrong with the RSL Club car park?

So I guess you're playing your imaginary friends this weekend? Or are you playing with yourselves?

I said GWS supporters are imaginary and mythical, we know the team exists in the AFL competition
Not surprising that you can't read though, you even accidentally selected GWS as the team that you support even though we know they don't actually exist. So who do you really go for?
