I broke a tv remote went mental lucky the dog wasn’t in the house at the time. Then I saw the replay and felt like a total campaigner the way I carried on

The freo game I was at the pub because I couldn’t get to the game and there was only such much I could carry on given I was in a public place. Was ******* seething though took me a week to get over it
Lol it's not just me who breaks remotes

Just think back at the year we had. Dimma on the scrap heap was predicted by all and sundry to be given the arse, 3 close losses in a row that could've easily de-railed our season, enormous spanking by the saints where some thought that was it for us and we'd finally implode.

Expectations not to fail again in a QF and we annihilate a club who has dominated us for 10 years. Prelim final, 95k tigs supporters and didn't phase them one bit.

Now here we are in a Grand Final. Unbelievable

Still not nervous, and still feeling really strange about the whole thing. Looking forward to a day of trying not to think too much about it (tomorrow), and then letting my emotions get the better of me all day on Saturday.

It feels so f**king weird, but really cool at the same time.

So what did the Pies do so well to get 50 points up at half time in Round 19?
Or were Adelaide just in cruise control (i.e. poor, lazy, then pulled their fingers out) ?
Yeah, their form at the end of the home and away was patchy, but they've been motoring along pretty well in the finals. And so have we.

Maybe not, if he kicked the winning goal he may not have been dropped to the VFL so easily. Selection changes, ladder changes, etc. We will never know.
Exactly. And it doesn't really matter now, does it? We're in the f**king Grand Final!!!

That Tiger looks like it just got caught by Mrs Tiger trying to sneak into the house with something it stole during an all-night bender!
****. I cant unsee that now. I laughed so much I woke the husband up. He didn't find it funny. Typical WCE supporter. No sense of humor.

"One thing I hope the Club prepares for is dirty tactics. I can see a few snipers in Saturdays game. Tigers will be hell bent on winning this game at absolutely all costs regardless of the consequences."
From the Crows board. Anyone remember a current Richmond player ever trying to take out an opposition player?

Is this the first time in VFL/AFL history people are camping overnight outside an oval waiting to get in to a training session the next day?
It's staggering the support our club has.
Coming from overseas as a child and grew up hearing about this thing called the TIGER ARMY. Then i saw it in full flight in 1980 & 1982.
What we are a part of this year may never be repeated in history and we should all be proud.
THE TIGER ARMY HAS RISEN.
I now have the pleasure of taking the kids to see the biggest events on th planets - finals, training, grand final parade and then the last saturday in september.
The Richmind Football Club is what football is all about.

Sorry Tiger supporters, but alot of the media and talk around town is selling that Richmond has already won the grand final. Game has got to be played and won people.

Good luck.
Compare that to the Crows. On Sunday, Richmond has a Family Day. On Sunday, the Crows have, and I quote this verbatim, a "premiership celebration."

Crows fans are acting like they have already won it. I suggest you post similar sentiments on the Crows board as well.

Some class coming from the Crows board.

To be honest, i wouldnt mind if a few of our players sacrifice a few games for next year to play dirty with richmond
If Cotchin does his sniping on one of the Crouch brothers, the other will make him pay doubly so.

I also would not be surprised to see Tex run through him.

I guess the thing is we need to both stand up and not get pushed around but also not get sidetracked.
So it will be okay for Tigers to be on the receiving end of dirty sniping but heaven forbid a Crows player cops it?

Damm crows supporters r cocky they think the have won already..
To each their own. I'm just loving this whole week all the way over in England. Worn my tiger jumper out the last two days. I'm just making the most of the celebration and am bloody proud the club have gone so far. We have a great opportunity on Saturday and a team that can win it but that's out of my hands. I'll wear my Tiger gear and get stuck right in. I'll be flying till the first bouncr, Round 1 next season.

Goooooooo Tigers!!!!
