Opinion Away strip if Crows v Tigers grand final
Outrageous!!! Actually, no. Could not care less. Yellow on black ... black on yellow ... would not worry me in the slightest. With one notable exception this year, I reckon we actually play BETTER in the yellow strip. Perhaps the improved visibility of the players in traffic to their team mates... -

Opinion AFL Women's competition, and 2017
Curious where everyone's feelings are on this. The competition is starting shortly, there are eight clubs, and we aren't one of them. And it would appear it is likely Richmond will not have a side in 2018 and may be passed over if only two more sides are added in 2019. Will you follow it at... -
You know you're #ECO when ...
... just a bit of fun. Not too serious please. - when you don't hurl your remote across the room after the opposition has kicked its fifth goal in six minutes - when you log into Bigfooty once a day, instead of once an hour - when it's 1.30pm on a Saturday and you're not in a hurry to get... -
Failed women's team bid
Rejected in favour of two clubs - collingwood and Carlton - which have done virtually nothing to promote women's footy so far. Either: a) the club isn't interested or serious about this, but put in a bid anyway to appear "progressive"; b) our bid was poor and/or not professional enough to beat... -
Women's footy (again)
I posted the following three years ago. Given the ratings success of last weekend's game I wonder if anyone thinks this is any closer. -
Scape Goat How good has Shaun Grigg been in the past fortnight?
Been in the best dozen or so for a while I reckon. In fact has had a pretty decent year to date really. Any haters prepared to admit they were wrong? -
By gee that clash strip looked good on the front page of the paper...
... and the back page of the other one. I bet Port were glad to see it too. No clash there. -
Club song - original
I have the original Richmond "Tigerland" club song by the Fable Singers on 7 inch single. I would like to get it for iPod/iPhone. The one available on iTunes is a new version (from the Footy Show Album) which I don't like nearly as much. Any thoughts on where to download the original version? -
When the wife (or girlfriend or fiance) doesn't get it.
Story in the Ballarat Courier. THE Richmond players in Sydney on Saturday afternoon had an imposing obstacle standing between themselves and an improbable AFL finals campaign: the mighty Sydney Swans. I faced a smaller but equally imposing obstacle to watching one of the biggest games for... -
Brett Deledio
He's played 200 games and the cheer squad still can't spell his name correctly. Oh dear. -
Opinion Risking head and SKIN - the definitive discussion
I'm not sure where and when this SHIN stuff started (perhaps it was in the original words penned by Jack Malcolmson) but the Fable Singers' version that plays before every match says SKIN. I know this because I have an old 45 of Tigerland (originally recorded in 1972) and it definitely says... -
Inverted black sash on gold strip appears set to be available
I don't know if this has already been addressed. If so then feel free to remove. This relates to the VFL alternate strip but the interest judging from earlier posts appears to extend well beyond those interested in VFL footy, so I thought it appropriate to let others know who might not look at... -
Things to do on the bye weekend...
Random suggestions. Feel free to add at your leisure. 1) Go watch a country or district football game involving a club with Tigers colours. -
I think the "no Shane Tuck in the senior side" experiment has failed again.
It failed last time we tried it too. Maybe it's time we ended this experiment. -
Opinion Bets?
So, I know of several "who will finish higher in 2012, Essendon or Richmond?" bets lingering from last year. In my case a steak dinner plus as much $70+ bottles of McLaren Vale and Barossa shiraz as four adult males can drink. Has correct weight been called on these bets or is an appeal now... -
Richmond Tiger Talk rookie draft podcast?
Really enjoy putting on my Tigers jersey and going for jog while listening to the Tiger Talk podcast. Will there be a Tiger Talk rookie draft podcast? Nick? Andy? -
This September
... We are Geelong, the greatest team of all... The club that saved us from the misery of several collingwood flags. I feel I owe them a great debt. For September, I'm on the Cats. -
Happy birthday to me.
Go Tiges. And my daughter will be born tomorrow. Wouldn't be dead for quids. -
What we can learn from Essendon
Essendon is proof you can polish a poo. Ordinary list but first-rate fitness, and a bunch of players that stick to their task and play within their limitations. The Bombers play at their best for much longer in a game than we do generally. They still don't kick particularly well, but their run... -
Opinion Women's footy: Richmond Tigresses
This is not an invitation for trolls. Through my work I have a fair bit of contact with sporting administrators in this region. According to one football administrator up here, the biggest growth segment in footy is women's football. It has the potential to be enormous. Last year the league... -
BT: "Get behind your team Tiger fans. They're not out of this..."
Which was obviously code for: "Please, please don't change the channel and watch Something about Mary instead of us." I almost spat out a mouthful of WKD Ironbrew laughing at that. -
FTF Jumper - here's a thought.
Make the players wear it again (and again) until they win a game in it. That way the people who have their names on it are given due respect for their support. -
The Tiger is stirring
Having a beer with my brother (a Carlton supporter) who lives up in far north Qld. After taking the p!ss out of Carlton's Cooking up a Stinker slogan last season, a mate (fellow Tiger) said our slogan this year was "The Tiger is stirring". "Stirring?" he said. "After 30 f#cking years asleep... -

Was wondering about where he was at. Did not play for Swan Districts seniors or Freo, and not named on the official injury list. Anyone with any info?- TigerTank

Been many a moon since I was on Bigfooty. Once upon a time it was a great source of rumour and innuendo (and the odd fact too). Maybe it still is. What's the latest trade talk everyone's heard?- TigerTank
