Well done to the Tigers. An average team on paper that used an easy fixture, barely any injuries and a great gameplan to win a flag in an even year.
Luckily reputations don’t win flags

Well done to the Tigers. An average team on paper that used an easy fixture, barely any injuries and a great gameplan to win a flag in an even year.
We had to plan for a win weeks ago so if we did get up from an off field perspective the club was ready to go. Apparently we consulted other clubs who have won recent flags and sought advice. I don't think that our planning included the contingency of being told to wear the away jumper which we were advised of only last week.The only premiership guersey has been the traditional one on sale which is odd.
Edited, one player was missing
Thats an excellent way of looking at itI love it, unlike a lot of other away jumpers its strong and distinctive, and doesnt resort to just throwing a few colours or a logo on a white background. Most of all it LOOKS RICHMOND, unlike a lot of other teams away jumper which looks nothing like the clubs top because of the stupid designer/white s**t they try.
its the only jumper i have seen us win a flag in, and because of all the circumstances its a special part of our history now. A lot of teams redesign theirs every year or two, i hope and pray we never do, its now part of the club. its the one im going to buy when they come out with a premiers version of it, and i will wear it proud just like the players have.
Dread was my first thought with the likelihood the players having to wear the clash strip, but once the game started, I absolutely loved the contrast that was created between the two teams.Thats an excellent way of looking at it
It - the away strip - is now a part of your history as you say
holy crap griggs head is floating
Yea, was a major fluke. Am happy for you.

Well done tigers , not the best team in it but the best team in September when it counts
Reckon the bye before finals will get the boot , the traditional higher placed teams will make sure of it
No injuries and some good luck and manic pressure got the tigers home , would it have been the same result had they played the cats at Geelong ?
Expected better from the crows
Weak year.A fluke was you beating the crows
Stop posting about it then you salty campaigner.Weak year.
Gee that finals series was boring for neutrals. Shocking.
I'm trying to figure out other pursuits in life. What is football without laughing at the Tiges occasionally?Stop posting about it then you salty campaigner.
Enjoy having the longest GF drought in the league which won't end anytime soon.

It was comforting.
sad, just sadThe Tigers were presented to their adoring fans today by Tiffany Cherry. As if they weren't already blessed enough. Sweet Jesus. Let me just think about that for a minute. Christ it's difficult to type one handed. OK, I'm done. Where was I? Oh yes. Richmond supporters scroll on, I'll give you a moment. No really. Tigers fans don't want to read this. Trust me. All gone? Good. Now, I'm of the opinion, and as Hutchy would say, 'this is just one person's opinion, it's neither right nor wrong', but I believe that the Tigers inherited all of the Bulldogs luck from last year, and upped the ante. The Cats game was line ball until Guthrie & Colojazny (sic) were incapacitated. Then Mumford & Cameron didn't turn up for the prelim. And yesterday Greenwood (calf), Kelly (hamstring), Cameron (calf) & Jenkins (ribs) were stuffed by half time. Plenty of teams would have achieved those three wins. Dare I say it, even the Magpies. Looks like we've reached a point where the healthiest team wins the flag. Put your best 22 on the park more often than anyone else, and it's all yours. If that's how it's gonna be, fine, but don't bother trying to predict next years premier. It could be anybody. I have a house plant that could be premier. I water it every day. Beautiful pink and blue flowers. It deserves a trophy. No, I'm not taking this well. I saw the Tigers beat the Eagles earlier this year at the G, and their fans still booed the umpires off after the game. Pretty low. Doesn't surprise me in the least that they set fire to an Adelaide car after the grand final. Then again, their unsavoury demeanour was probably sparked by the constant kicking they got from the press in 2016. What's the end goal for these journos? A riot? They nearly got one.
They say being able to laugh at ones self is character building... Give that a shot...im sure you will find plenty of mirth in your minnow club trying to squirm out of being deported to Tasmania
a lot of people have taken great delight in kicking tiges fans when theyve been down, for yearsRichmond supporters will be insufferable......but hey, they deserve it for sticking fat through all the down times.
I know how you feel. Dogs were easy to troll before last year, we were the low hanging fruit around here. The "good at making prelims" and "black and white silent movie footage of your last flag" etc etc etc just wears you down over time. Its nice to give some back.a lot of people have taken great delight in kicking tiges fans when theyve been down, for years
it must have taken real courage
We are premiers what could you possibly have to laugh at?I rekn there's a bit more to be had at tigerland.
Gotta love em.
