A serious dilemma for Tiger fans...

[Roachy8]

Guys... I'm torn!
It used to be so easy as a Tiger supporter when it came time choosing your favourite player and selecting a number to stick on the back of the ole duffel coat.
As my ID suggests, I am a fan of the big marking goal kicking forward so in recent years it was always Richo who was the favoured player
Then along comes the smoothest moving and perhaps classiest guy we have had for ages and my allegences moved to Lids

Now as we scan the list...

Last years explosion of Jack... pulling down screamers and kicking big bags of goals makes him irresistible
Then, possibly the most exciting player to join the Tigers in 40 years or so we get the manchild who even wears Royce's famous number
We also have the pure class and leadership at the age of just 20 odd of our future captain in Cotch
This year we bring in Conca & to a lesser degree Batch who both immediately look totally at home.

What to do Tigers???? How do we pick a favourite???

I'm sticking with Lids as I love a Ferrari rather than an AC Cobra but shit it's getting more and more difficult.

This is easy: Jake King

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

I must admit, Martin's number 4 is looking a beaut right now, Riewoldt's 8 is a popular choice and hell, no.17 will always be 'the number'.

Thats Gareth Bales number as well isnt it?

How do we pick a favourite???

I stick with the R's

Royce, Roach, Richo....Riewoldttttttttttt!!!!

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Geez it's hard to go past the No 9 I reckon. But at least the choices are more plentiful than recent times.

 

[discofan]

I stick with the R's

Royce, Roach, Richo....Riewoldttttttttttt!!!!

got to put in a special mention to Rioli as well !!!

 

[middy]

Had Cotch as my boy since the day he was drafted. Can't wait to get one of the jumpers with the numbers printed into them. Any idea when they will be out?

 

[delediofan3]

No.3 but I'm edging towards No.4

 

[EasternTiger]

got to put in a special mention to Rioli as well !!!

Indeed. I was just thinking today how blessed we've been over the years with full forwards capable of the spectacular, I forgot to include the great man

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

I must admit, Martin's number 4 is looking a beaut right now, Riewoldt's 8 is a popular choice and hell, no.17 will always be 'the number'.

Of course it has to be 17....even though he's gone, he's certaintely not forgotten.


Paul Hudson, I take my hat off to you

 

[DerpWerls]

Cotchin is my man.

 

[Azzleberry]

No. 9 for me.. Pure class and his courage in Q1 on numerous occasions against North show his contested game is amazing... Will be the captain of the club in 2013.

 

[TigerSE]

I've got 3 on my back
Duncan Kellaway and stuck with Lids
but having a big think about number 9

 

[happy_punter]

No. 4.....it will last longer!!

 

[TOOs_Finest]

No. 4.....it will last longer!!

Yes, but it may also refuse to be stuck to the jumper

 

[SteveoTheTiger]

My current jumper which is signed by the 2009 team doesnt have a number but before that ive always had 17 going back to when i was a kid and loved Rioli.

Im going to buy a new 'jeep' jumper this year and will be sticking with 17.

 

[Bojangles17]

This is easy: Jake King

Love Kingy, have a whole lot of respect for players that bleed for the jumper, leave nothing in the tank in their quest for TIGER victory, put it all on the line..I'm in awe...love jack also and a soft spot for a alot more, dusty, cotcha, axel, MM

past favs have been andy kellaway, richo, cogs (he had me after a boundary interview where he professed his love of the Y&B)...i just about broke down

 

[NQTIGER]

Bale is wearing the No 3 shirt

And torres wears 9.....lol and we only paid 50 billion for him....

 

[zipper12]

I stick with the R's

Royce, Roach, Richo....Riewoldttttttttttt!!!!

Not just Rs- Tasmanian Rs (Maurice is also from an island )

 

[Gentlemen]

Brad Miller


Not but seriously either Cotchin or King

 

[Kurtis G]

Tempted on 4, 8 and 9. I had a #9 guernsey as a kid watching Campbell play, but I will never budge on my #12.....

 

[1980GFVideo]

In the good ole days we were torn between many.

Roach was the obvious one but

Raines 4
Jess 20
Weightman 3
Wiley 2
Landy 34
Keane 18

were all around the ground.

and the list went on. I considered getting 7 Mick Malthouse to be a bit different. Mick was good player but didnt seem a popular one on jumpers.

Still too many players today where if you saw a kid wearing their number would have you wondering whether they were taking the piss.
